Company formation and structuring
We advise on the right entity and shareholding, then incorporate it correctly through SECP eServices.
We help Pakistani businesses choose the right structure, incorporate cleanly with the SECP, and stay compliant year after year. From a single member company to a foreign subsidiary, the corporate record is built correctly from day one. You deal with a partner, not a queue.
Every business in Pakistan sits inside a framework set by the Companies Act 2017 and administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan. The choices you make at the start, the type of entity, the shareholding, the directors and the objects of the company, shape your tax position, your access to bank finance and your ability to bring in investors later. We treat incorporation as the foundation of the business rather than a form-filling exercise, and we build it so the structure still works when the company grows.
Compliance is where most companies quietly lose ground. Annual returns, changes in directors, share allotments, statutory registers, the annual general meeting and ultimate beneficial ownership records all carry deadlines under the Companies Act 2017, and a gap in the record surfaces at the worst possible time: during due diligence, a bank facility, or a sale. We keep the corporate file current and audit-ready throughout the year, so nothing has to be reconstructed under pressure.
Finspera 21 is a partner-led firm, and corporate work is handled by people who understand both the law and the commercial reality of running a company in Pakistan. We work with family businesses tidying up years of informal arrangements, startups preparing for their first funding round, and foreign investors setting up a branch, liaison office or local subsidiary. The aim is the same in each case: a structure you understand, a record that holds up to scrutiny, and a clear view of what has to be filed and when.
Corporate work runs best when the sequence is clear and the record is kept clean throughout. Here is how a typical engagement moves.
We advise on the right entity and shareholding, then incorporate it correctly through SECP eServices.
We keep your statutory record complete and every SECP filing on time.
We help boards meet their duties under the law and the applicable governance code.
We manage changes to the company from a first share transfer through to winding up.
A disciplined, staged engagement model, from first question to defensible outcome.
We start with a short conversation about the business, the owners and where you want to be in a few years. From this we identify the questions that actually matter for your structure and flag anything in an existing setup that needs fixing.
We recommend the entity type, shareholding and directorships that fit your commercial and tax position. You get a plain explanation of the options and the reasoning, not just a form to sign.
We reserve the name, prepare the constitutional documents and complete registration through SECP eServices. We then handle the post-incorporation registrations, including the NTN with the FBR and sales tax registration where it applies.
We open your statutory registers and minute books and build a compliance calendar mapped to your filing deadlines. You leave this stage knowing exactly what has to be filed with SECP and the FBR, and when.
We act as your point of contact for secretarial filings, board meetings and any change to the company. As the business changes, the corporate record changes with it, so it is always ready for a bank, an auditor or an investor.
Good advice solves today’s problem, and prepares you for the next one.
