SECP Company Registration in Pakistan

Complete SECP company registration services. We handle the entire process from name availability search to certificate of incorporation for Private Limited Companies and LLPs.

SECP Company Registration

Registering a company with SECP is a structured process with specific document requirements and timelines. For a Private Limited Company (the most common business structure in Pakistan), the process involves: searching and reserving a unique company name through SECP's eServices portal, preparing the Memorandum of Association (defining the company's objects) and Articles of Association (governing internal management), obtaining digital signatures for all directors, filing the incorporation documents with SECP along with prescribed fees, and receiving the Certificate of Incorporation.N The cost of SECP registration in 2026 depends on the authorized share capital: the standard SECP filing fee for a company with PKR 100,000 authorized capital is approximately PKR 1,000, with additional fees for higher capital amounts. Professional service fees cover name search, document preparation, digital signature procurement, and post-incorporation compliance setup.N Beyond basic incorporation, we handle the post-registration essentials that many service providers overlook: opening the company's bank account (which requires the incorporation certificate, NTN, and board resolution), applying for the company NTN with FBR, setting up the company's statutory registers, and establishing the annual compliance calendar (annual returns, annual accounts, and AGM requirements).N For LLPs, the process differs: LLP registration requires a minimum of two partners (which can be individuals or companies), an LLP agreement, and registration under the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2017. LLPs offer operational flexibility with limited liability protection and are increasingly popular for professional services firms and joint ventures.

Why This Matters

Operating as an unregistered entity limits your business opportunities: banks won't provide corporate lending facilities, government tenders require registered entities, foreign clients prefer contracted relationships with registered companies, and investors won't deploy capital into unincorporated businesses. SECP registration also provides personal liability protection - a company's debts are its own, not the directors' personal obligation (except in cases of fraud or misconduct). The credibility and legal protection of a registered company far outweigh the registration cost.

NTN registration is your tax identity with FBR required for filing tax returns and appearing on the Active Taxpayer List. SECP registration is the incorporation of a legal entity (company) under the Companies Act 2017. They serve different purposes: SECP registration creates the company as a legal person, while NTN registration creates the company's tax identity. A company needs both: SECP registration first, then NTN registration with FBR using the incorporation certificate.
