Whoaa informative!!

Just curious, have you ever dealt with the seriously massive individual structures? Like the ones next to highways that stand 5 stories tall and big enough to see from a few km away...

I hear those cost RM100,000 minimum a month to put an ad on it.

1. Very obvious my engineer design structure of the billboard, therefore he is a civil and structure engineer.
2. Varies. I spend RM 50k on mine.
3. The rental charge depends on the billboard size and location. My location market rate is RM 5.00 ~ RM 7.00 per sq.ft.

The highest my billboard goes is 3 storey. RM 100k per month rental definitely will not be consider by my client at my current location.

just asking... if my premise is in strategic location, and I want to rent the space, do I need to subscribe like a license to lease ?

Woa bro~ im impressed!!
btw, we are from the same kampung!

If you decide to lease your space directly to the client who advertise, then YES you need the license. If you merely lease the space to a advertising company, then NO, you don't need (but the advertising company need the license).

This license is easy to obtain since it is display at your commercial property comparing to what I'm posting.

I see....

like my 3 storey shop is in the corner and the side wall is well located and this xxx company approach me and say i want to put my sign board on your side wall and pay you rent

Oh that is good. No problem. Lease it to them then. When both of you enter in an agreement, do state that the advertising license will be borne by themselve, and you are not responsible for the license application. Get half a year or one year rental from them. Save your headache, and if half way they breach the agreement, you will still have some money to keep. Not forgetting you may need to demolish the billboard frame afterwards.

hi edyek & everyone
thanks for your sharing.

my friend planning to open an advertising firm just like that you mention. billboard, signage etc.

Besides billboard and signage have to apply license as i know. May i know those need to apply license? what license &　ｗｈｅｒｅ　ｔｏ　ａｐｐｌｙ？　
1) ambient advertising such as poster / wall advertising inside all complex or restaurant?

2) outdoor ａｍｂｉｅｎｔ　ｌｉｋｅ　ＬＲＴ　ｗｒａｐ，　ｂｕｓｅｓ　ａｎｄ　ｔａｘｉ　
３）scrolling lightbox　ｏｕｔｓｉｄｅ　ｓｈｏｐｐｉｎｇ　ｍａｌｌ　ｏｒ　ｉｎｓｉｄｅ　ｓｈｏｐｐｉｎｇ　ｍａｌｌ．　

these all 3 need to apply license in KL/Selangor?

Frankly speaking, yours is not billboard advertising. The license you are looking for is just the "Right of Advertising" at proposed location. Just go to your DBKL to ask for more information.

You need consent from complex, restaurant, LRT, buses and taxi management to advertise your ads on their premise or vehicle.

Good luck.

edyek, really appreciate ur posts & infos.
So u r based in KK?

I'm looking for outdoor advertising contacts in the Penang and Johor region, can help?

I'm not major in advertising industry. It just happen that one of my companies is holding billboard advertising license.

One of which I know is you cannot advertise on the pedestrian bridge by covering up the walk way. Other than that, I've yet come across.

Guys.. Any lawyer doing rental agreement for space renting for advertising with shoplot owner in kl or selangor to recommend?

Very good info, edyek!

Thanks for sharing!
