Types and First Steps

Lawyer Diary

Overview of business structures in Pakistan, how they connect to SECP, and what to prepare before you incorporate.

Choosing a structure before SECP filing

Most founders choose a private company when they want limited liability and a clear shareholding map. Sole proprietorships and partnerships follow different rules; confirm your path with a qualified advisor.

  • Private limited company: common for SMEs and startups.
  • Single-member company: when one owner wants corporate form.
  • Other structures: compare tax and compliance with your accountant.

What to prepare early

Gather director CNICs, registered office details, and a short business description. Name availability checks reduce back-and-forth on the portal.
