Establishing a foreign business footprint in Pakistan requires a deep understanding of local regulatory frameworks. At Javid Law Associates, we provide specialized company registration in Pakistan and strategic legal counsel to help multinational companies, foreign investors, and startups secure Board of Investment (BOI) approvals, branch office permissions, and liaison office registrations. Our senior team operating from F-10 Markaz Islamabad and Bahawalpur interfaces directly with government authorities on your behalf.
Regulatory Framework & Process
Foreign entities looking to operate locally must initiate SECP company registration followed by BOI approval for executive functions and visa recommendations. Operating without BOI endorsement hampers essential operations, including corporate banking setups and security clearances. We handle the multi-agency documentation lifecycle, aligning your submission with the requirements of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
| Phase | Key Authority | Deliverable Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1: Structuring | SECP | Company Registration Documents |
| Phase 2: Submission | Board of Investment | Application Lodgement & Review |
| Phase 3: Clearance | Ministry of Interior | Inter-Ministerial Security NOC |
| Phase 4: Permission | Board of Investment | Official BOI License & Approval |
