Business Registration
Private Limited Company Registration with SECP
A private limited company in Pakistan is incorporated with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). This involves name reservation, filing the memorandum and articles of association with directors' details, and receiving a certificate of incorporation. The company then obtains its own NTN from the FBR. A company gives its owners limited liability and a separate legal identity. Tax Services PK handles the complete process.
