We handle SECP incorporation and every registration that follows, so you can start trading with the right structure.

What is company registration?

Company registration in Pakistan means incorporating your business with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). Common structures are the private limited company, the single member company and the association of persons (AOP). Each has different rules on owners, directors, liability and compliance.

Questions about company registration

How long does company registration take?

It depends on name approval, document readiness and SECP processing. We give you a realistic timeline once we have your details.

Which structure should I choose?

Most operating businesses choose a private limited company for limited liability and credibility with banks and investors. A single member company suits one owner. We help you choose.

Do I need sales tax registration?

If you supply goods or taxable services above the applicable conditions, yes. We check this as part of registration.

Can you also register a trademark or LCCI membership?

Yes. We handle trademark registration and LCCI membership as part of our compliance services.
