Your Checklist for a New Employee Benefits Insurance Application

Published October 31, 2023  

So you've decided to start the buying process for an employee benefits insurance package (also called group insurance), and currently, you do not have any existing policy in effect.

Here you'll find a checklist for your purchase application, suitable for your type of business registration.

If you do have an existing policy, we also have a checklist for companies looking to switch from an existing insurer to a new one.

We have included a checklist for the most common business types, such as Sdn Bhd, LLP and etc; as well as the more unconventional entities, such as an embassy, a trustee company, and professional bodies like The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) and Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM).

Download a copy of your checklist after jumping to the section for your type of business registration:

If you're curious or considering group insurance policies for multiple entities, this is an overview of all entity types and the documents needed for their buying process:
