Companies Registration

Companies Registration Details

Planning company registration in Pakistan

Choosing a company structure affects ownership, decision making and the records you will maintain after registration. EM Brand Maker helps you discuss those choices from our Islamabad office, organise the application information and understand the next steps for your business.

SECP company incorporation and a sole proprietorship or partnership are different routes. Start with what you intend to do, who will own the business and whether you need a single member or private limited company. SECP's official guidance explains company incorporation and name reservation; the appropriate route should be confirmed before documents are prepared.

Prepare for the first discussion

  • Describe your products or services, where you will trade and whether you expect overseas customers or investors.
  • Bring alternative business names and a clear outline of the proposed owners, directors and ownership shares.
  • Tell us whether an existing firm, tax registration or company record needs to be considered.
  • Explain any sector-specific registration you may also need, such as PSEB registration or PEC registration.

What to agree before proceeding

  1. Review the proposed structure and application scope together.
  2. Confirm the information and documents needed for your circumstances, and resolve differences in names or ownership details.
  3. Agree the work to be undertaken, professional charges and any separate official payments before submission.
  4. Review the completed records and identify post-registration work, including tax registration and return support.

Does registering a company also register its trademark?

A company application and a trademark application address different matters. If you want support with your business name or logo as a brand, discuss trademark registration separately so that its scope is clear.

What determines the cost and completion date?

The chosen structure, completeness of the information and authority review affect the work involved. Ask for an itemised quotation and a case-specific estimate; a general website statement cannot confirm approval or a completion date.

Start with your business plan. Contact our Islamabad corporate team with your intended activity, preferred names and ownership outline. You can also read our company registration guide before the discussion.
