Overview of REIT Management
Establishing a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Management Company in Pakistan requires navigating complex regulatory frameworks set by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). At Javid Law Associates, we provide specialized corporate legal services to ensure your entity meets the rigorous capital, governance, and operational requirements necessary to manage REIT schemes effectively.
Regulatory Framework
The registration process is governed by the Non-Banking Finance Companies (Establishment and Regulation) Rules, 2003. Applicants must demonstrate financial stability and institutional capacity to oversee real estate assets. Our firm assists in preparing the Memorandum and Articles of Association, business plans, and internal control manuals required for SECP licensing.
