Early payments made to suppliers yearly

To supply large corporates and GLCs in Malaysia, a business generally registers its company with SSM, gets MOF-registered where the buyer requires it, and makes itself discoverable and transactable — increasingly by listing on a B2B marketplace that corporate buyers already use. From there it completes vendor onboarding and compliance documentation, wins orders through RFQs and competitive bidding, and fulfils them. Listing on a marketplace such as Lapasar also opens access to early payments, so suppliers can be paid as early as 2 days after delivery rather than waiting out long corporate payment cycles.

What you get with Lapasar

Get registered

SSM company registration, plus MOF registration where the corporate or GLC buyer requires it.

Get discoverable

List your catalogue on a B2B marketplace corporate buyers already source from, instead of chasing them one by one.

Get compliant

Complete vendor onboarding and the compliance documents corporate procurement teams ask for up front.

Get paid early

Access early payments and be paid as early as 2 days after delivery rather than waiting on long payment cycles.

Registration comes first

Before any large corporate or GLC can buy from you, you need to exist as a qualified entity in their eyes. That starts with SSM registration — the legal identity and registration number every corporate procurement team will ask for. Where the buyer is a government-linked company or a corporate that mirrors public-sector rules, MOF registration under the field codes matching your goods or services is often required too.

Getting this groundwork right early saves weeks later. Corporate onboarding forms almost always ask for these details up front, and an incomplete registration is one of the most common reasons a promising supplier stalls before the first order.

  • SSM company registration and registration number
  • MOF registration under the relevant field codes where required
  • Bank details and company profile ready for onboarding forms

Be discoverable where buyers already are

The hardest part of selling to large corporates and GLCs is getting in front of the right buyer at the moment they have a need. Cold outreach rarely lands, because corporate procurement teams source through channels they already trust. Listing your catalogue on a B2B marketplace those buyers use flips the model: instead of chasing procurement contacts, your products appear when a buyer searches, raises an RFQ or runs a competitive bid.

On Lapasar, that means publishing your catalogue and pricing once and then competing for orders across a base of corporate and GLC buyers on the platform. Requests for quotation and reverse bidding put your offer in front of live demand, and you win on price, availability and service rather than on who you happen to know.

  • Publish your catalogue and pricing once
  • Appear in buyer searches, RFQs and competitive bids
  • Compete on price, availability and service

Onboarding, compliance and winning the order

Once a buyer is interested, vendor onboarding is where the relationship becomes real. Corporate and GLC procurement teams ask for a consistent set of documents — company profile, certifications, bank details, and acknowledgement of their procurement and conduct policies. Having these ready turns onboarding from a bottleneck into a formality. A supplier portal keeps your details, catalogue and documents in one place so you're not re-submitting the same paperwork for every buyer.

With onboarding done, orders flow through RFQs and competitive bidding. Respond promptly, keep your catalogue and stock accurate, and deliver reliably — the suppliers who win repeat business are the ones who make the buyer's job easy, not just the ones with the lowest price on day one.

  • Prepare company profile, certifications and policy acknowledgements
  • Keep documents and catalogue current in a supplier portal
  • Respond quickly to RFQs and competitive bids

Get paid early, not eventually

Selling to large corporates and GLCs has always carried one catch: long payment cycles. A supplier can win the order, deliver on time and still wait months to be paid — a squeeze that hits smaller suppliers hardest. Early payments change that equation. On Lapasar, suppliers can be paid as early as 2 days after delivery instead of waiting out the buyer's standard terms.

That early-payment capacity is substantial: Lapasar makes RM100m+ in early payments to suppliers each year. For a growing business, being paid days after delivery rather than months later is often the difference between taking on the next order and turning it down — so getting listed and onboarded is as much a cash-flow decision as a sales one.

Common questions

What do I need to become a supplier to large corporates in Malaysia?
Start with SSM company registration, and add MOF registration where the buyer or a government-linked company requires it. Beyond registration, you need to be discoverable — increasingly by listing on a B2B marketplace corporate buyers use — and ready to complete vendor onboarding and compliance documentation.
Do I need to be MOF-registered to supply GLCs?
Often, yes. Government-linked companies and corporates that follow public-sector procurement rules frequently require suppliers to be registered with the Ministry of Finance under the field codes matching what they supply. Check each buyer's requirement, and register under the relevant codes before onboarding.
How do I find corporate buyers instead of cold-calling them?
List your catalogue on a B2B marketplace that large corporates and GLCs already source from. Your products then appear when a buyer searches, raises an RFQ or runs a competitive bid, so you respond to live demand rather than chasing procurement contacts one by one.
How quickly can suppliers get paid?
Through Lapasar's early payments, suppliers can be paid as early as 2 days after delivery instead of waiting out a corporate buyer's standard payment cycle. Lapasar makes a substantial volume of early payments to suppliers each year, easing the cash-flow squeeze that long corporate terms create.
How do I start selling through Lapasar?
Register as a vendor, publish your catalogue and pricing, complete vendor onboarding and compliance documentation, and then respond to RFQs and competitive bids to win orders. Once you deliver, you can access early payments — visit the become-a-vendor page to begin.
