Sample Foods Sdn. Bhd.
Read from the SSM profile.
The name as SSM registers it. Every other upload is checked against this name before it is used.
Company NumberRead
201401000000 (1000000-X)
Read from the SSM profile.
The registration number, new format first and the old one after it.
Legal StructureRead
Private Company Limited By Shares
Read from the SSM profile.
The company type as SSM registers it.
ClassificationWorked out
Private Limited Company
Worked out from the company type.
The common name for the SSM company type, so a reader does not need the statutory wording.
Incorporation DateRead
12 June 2014
Read from the SSM profile.
It also sets the operating years, 11.7, that bank product rules check.
Nature of BusinessRead
Manufacture of sauces and condiments
Read from the SSM profile.
The business nature as SSM records it.
Industry SectorWorked out
Manufacturing
Worked out from the nature of business.
The broadest sector that covers the SSM business nature.
Domiciled CountrySet by rule
Malaysia
Set by rule, not read.
SPOT reports on Malaysian companies only, so this field is the same in every report.
Shareholders Capital (MYR)Read
RM 500,000
Read from the SSM profile.
The paid-up capital of the issued shares, added up across share classes.
Number of EmployeesMissing
Data not available
No upload states it.
None of the uploads is a statutory contribution statement, so the report says Data not available instead of estimating.
Revenue, 2023Read
3,650,000
Read from the 2023 column of the FY2024 report.
No FY2023 audited report was uploaded, so the comparative column stands in. Upload one and its own figure replaces this.
Revenue, 2024Read
4,200,000
Read from the FY2024 audited report.
A year is read from its own audited report first; a later report repeating it as a comparative does not override it.
Sample company and figures, anonymised; labels are the report's and each route follows SPOT's rule for that field. The printed report does not show this trail. SPOT keeps it: every stored fact carries the document it came from.
Read in order, this is SPOT from an SME referral to a meeting request on your desk.
Each module answers one question a bank asks about an SME, and shows how it got the answer.
Sample company, anonymised. Figures are illustrative; the rules are the product’s.
Think of a credit officer's first-pass worksheet, filled in the same way every time, with the arithmetic left on the page so anyone can redo it.
Sample company, anonymised, before it has uploaded its audited accounts and Beneficial Ownership register. The wording of each action is the product’s; each is listed once with the products it would settle.
Picture a careful loan officer with your product sheet beside the company file, ticking each requirement in turn, and writing "can't confirm yet" whenever the file is silent instead of guessing.
Sample company, anonymised. Figures are illustrative; the rules are the product’s.
Like spreading three months of statements across a desk and sorting every line into piles, then checking the piles still add up to the totals printed at the bottom.
Sample company, anonymised. Figures are illustrative; the rules are the product’s.
Like a factory inspector's checklist with fixed marks for each answer, followed by a short note on what is holding the floor back.
What the SME does in SPOT, and what your team sees on the other side. See both sides
Confirming sets your company name, registration number and business structure from this certificate. They can't be changed afterwards.
Nothing is locked to your company until you confirm.
Your report will cover the sections your documents support. Next you review your documents, then generation takes 3 to 5 minutes.
Before anything else, the SME uploads its SSM certificate. That certificate fixes who the company is, and every later document is checked against it.
A report built on another company's documents is worse than no report. The anchor stops that at the source.
Like checking a passport at the door. Once the identity is confirmed, anyone who walks in with someone else's papers is stopped.
