Company / Firm Registration in Pakistan
Starting a business in Pakistan begins with the right legal structure. taxcalculator.credit/ handles your complete registration – choosing the structure, preparing documents, filing with SECP or the relevant registrar, and getting your NTN and sales tax registration – so you can focus on the business itself.
Which structure fits you?
- Private Limited Company (SECP) – separate legal identity, limited liability, best for startups seeking investment or dealing with corporate clients.
- Single Member Company – a private limited company with one shareholder; full corporate benefits for solo founders.
- AOP / Partnership firm – simpler and cheaper; partners share profits and liability. Good for professional firms and family businesses.
- Sole proprietor + NTN – the lightest option for freelancers and small traders who just need to be tax-registered.
