Issues Faced by Owner
业主面临的问题
MBJB Business License in Mount Austin
When setting up a business at a new location in Johor Bahru, Johor, one of the most crucial requirements is obtaining the MBJB business license. However, the business owner is often unaware of the application process, the necessary documents, and the steps required to complete the application successfully.
Operating without a valid MBJB license is an offence and can lead to fines and other enforcement action by the council. To avoid legal issues and ensure smooth operations, it’s essential to understand the correct procedure and prepare all required documents in advance.
MBJB Signboard License
In addition to the business license, Hippofit Austin also needed a valid MBJB Signboard License to display its gym signage. The business owner was unaware of the signboard application process, MBJB’s strict design and placement regulations, and the mandatory approval from Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) for Malay language compliance.
Without proper approvals, the gym risked enforcement actions, penalties, and even forced removal of their signboard, which could affect their branding and customer visibility.

Compliance Tip
Every business premises within the area of Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru (MBJB) needs a valid business license before it starts operating. Prepare your SSM documents, tenancy agreement and premises details early, and display the license at your premises once it is issued.
A signboard needs its own advertisement license, separate from the business license, and the wording usually has to pass a Bahasa Melayu check by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) first.
Operating without a valid license from Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru (MBJB) is an offence: under the Local Government Act 1976, breaching a council by-law can lead to a fine of up to RM2,000, imprisonment of up to one year, or both, plus up to RM200 for each day the offence continues.
