Buyer guidance
Notes
None of the trades in this directory sits behind a statutory register, so the useful question is almost never “are they licensed?” — it is who owns the asset when the relationship ends, and which of the claims on the deck can actually be checked from outside. One note per discipline.

- 01
Check the gateway, not just the build
An online store is reversible. The way it settles your money is not. Ask which gateway is being integrated, then check it against Bank Negara's list. - 02
Checking a Google Partner badge
Partner status is one of the few claims in this trade you can verify from outside. The directory is public, and the ad account should be in your name. - 03
The drone permit worth asking for
Commercial aerial work in Malaysia needs CAAM approval. Ask who is flying your shoot, and settle the usage licence separately from the day rate. - 04
Who owns the logo you paid for
Malaysian law hands commissioned copyright to the buyer, but only until a contract says otherwise. Ask for the working files and read that clause. - 05
Who owns your website when you leave
The domain, the hosting account and the code can each sit in someone else's name. Check the registrant record before the build, not after it ends. - 06
Your marketing list and the PDPA
Any individual can require you to stop processing their data for direct marketing. That duty sits with you as the data user, not with your vendor.
