Corporate & Commercial
Full legal assistance for start-ups and ventures, from incorporation to ongoing commercial contracts.
Overview
We advise businesses of every size on company incorporation and registration, corporate governance, shareholder agreements, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, and day-to-day commercial contracting. Our clients range from early-stage start-ups registering with SECP for the first time to established groups restructuring cross-border operations.
Common questions
How long does company incorporation take with SECP?
Digital incorporation through SECP's e-Services portal can be completed in a matter of days once the name is cleared and documents are complete. Filings involving foreign shareholders or directors typically take longer, since additional identity and attestation documents are required.
Do I need a resident director to incorporate a company in Pakistan?
No. Pakistani company law does not require a private limited company to have a resident director, though the company must maintain a registered office address in Pakistan.
Is there a minimum capital requirement to start a private limited company?
There's no general statutory minimum paid-up capital for most private limited companies in Pakistan. Certain regulated sectors (such as NBFCs or banking) do carry their own minimum capital rules — we'll flag if yours is one of them.
