Foreign Investor Company Setup in Pakistan

Welcome to Pakistan, a burgeoning market offering significant opportunities for foreign investment. Establishing a company in Pakistan as a foreign entrepreneur requires a nuanced understanding of local regulatory frameworks. At Javid Law Associates, we specialize in providing comprehensive and efficient services to guide international investors through the entire company registration process Pakistan, ensuring your business is established compliantly and efficiently.

Navigating Pakistani Regulatory Landscape

The process for foreign entities to register a company in Pakistan involves adhering to regulations set by multiple authorities. The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) is the primary body for SECP company registration, whether you opt for a Private Limited company registration Pakistan, or establishing a Branch or Liaison Office. Beyond corporate registration, foreign entrepreneurs must secure a National Tax Number (NTN Registration Pakistan) from the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and potentially Sales Tax (ST Registration Pakistan) if applicable. Furthermore, depending on the sector, approvals from the Board of Investment (BOI) and the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) for foreign exchange matters are critical for smooth market entry and repatriation of profits.
