MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN
THE VENTURE
Get to know
NakHalal.
NakHalal helps small food businesses get Halal-ready, without navigating the process alone. Our AI Halal Buddy guides businesses through documentation, inventory and traceability, while our halal coaches provide hands-on support from preparation to certification.
The problem
Small F&B businesses want halal certification but are often held back by high consultancy costs and a complex certification process. Without dedicated compliance resources, many struggle to navigate the requirements, limiting their access to Malaysia’s growing halal market.
Target market
- Small F&B businesses in Malaysia pursuing Halal certification.
- Lower-income community such as asnaf entrepreneurs (zakat-eligible micro-entrepreneurs), which opens a sponsor-funded channel through zakat bodies/contributors .
The Solution
NakHalal is an AI-powered “Halal Buddy” combining smart digital tools with human coaching to simplify Halal certification. It helps F&B businesses organise documentation, track compliance readiness, and navigate requirements step-by-step, reducing reliance on costly consultants while staying audit-ready.
