Starting a business in Pakistan is an exciting journey, but before you begin operations, registering your company properly is essential. Among all business structures, a Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) is the most trusted and professional choice for entrepreneurs and startups. It not only builds credibility but also protects your business legally.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of registering a Pvt Ltd company in Pakistan, step by step.
✅ Step 1: Choose a Unique Company Name
Your company name must be unique and not already registered. SECP (Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan) provides an online portal where you can check and reserve your company name. Avoid restricted or misleading words.
✅ Step 2: Prepare Required Documents
You’ll need to gather and prepare the following documents:
- CNIC copies of all directors
- NTN (if available)
- Memorandum of Association (MoA)
- Articles of Association (AoA)
- Registered business address
✅ Step 3: Submit Online Application with SECP
All applications are submitted online through the SECP e-Services portal. After creating an account, you’ll upload documents, pay the prescribed fee, and submit your application for review.
✅ Step 4: Digital Signatures & Verification
Directors are required to obtain digital signatures from the National Institutional Facilitation Technologies (NIFT). This ensures authenticity and secure submissions.
✅ Step 5: Certificate of Incorporation
Once approved, SECP issues the Certificate of Incorporation. Congratulations — your company is now legally registered as a Private Limited Company!
✅ Step 6: Post-Incorporation Compliance
After registration, businesses must also complete:
- NTN registration with FBR
- Sales tax registration (if applicable)
- Bank account opening in the company’s name
- Chamber of Commerce registration for trade and export businesses
🎯 Why Register a Pvt Ltd Company?
- Builds trust with clients and investors
- Offers limited liability protection
- Easier access to bank loans and investments
- Ensures compliance with Pakistani laws
