Our free JS-SEZ site selection consultation gives Singapore companies an independent zone recommendation, building shortlist, and incentive eligibility assessment before they approach any landlord or developer. JS-SEZ Qualifying Checklist for Singapore Companies.

Choosing the right location within the JS-SEZ is one of the most consequential decisions a Singapore company makes when expanding to Johor. The wrong zone means higher costs, weaker incentive eligibility, or operational misfit — and commercial leases in JB run 2–5 years. Our free JS-SEZ site selection consultation helps you get it right before you sign anything.
What the Consultation Covers — site selection consultation
In a 45-minute consultation (phone or video), we work through your specific situation: your business activity, headcount, space requirement, budget, timeline, and any operational constraints (proximity to Singapore, logistics access, customer location, staff commuting). Based on that, we give you a zone recommendation with reasoning, a shortlist of buildings or industrial estates that match your brief, and a current market rate benchmark so you know what to expect when you approach landlords.
We also flag your JS-SEZ incentive eligibility — whether your business activity likely qualifies for the 5% corporate tax rate, the 15% knowledge worker tax, or stamp duty exemptions. If you qualify, we explain the application pathway. If you don’t, we explain what you can still access under the standard Iskandar Malaysia or MSC Malaysia frameworks.
Who This Is For
This consultation is designed for Singapore companies that are seriously evaluating a JB presence but haven’t yet committed to a zone or building. You might be at the stage of internal approval, exploring options before taking a site visit, or comparing JB against other Malaysia locations (KL, Penang). You don’t need to have a specific building in mind — the consultation helps you develop the brief before you approach agents or developers.
It is also useful for Singapore companies that have already received proposals from JB landlords or developers and want an independent view on whether the proposed location, rent, and terms are appropriate for their requirement.
What Happens After the Consultation
Following the consultation, we send a brief written summary covering zone recommendation, market rate benchmark, shortlisted buildings, and incentive eligibility notes. If you want us to arrange viewings or represent you in lease negotiations, we can do that — our tenant representation service is free to occupiers (we are compensated by landlords on successful lease completion, standard Malaysian agency practice). If you simply want the consultation as an independent data point and handle the rest yourself, that is entirely fine too.
