Choose your company structure
An SMC has one member. A private company requires at least two members; a public company requires at least three. The right structure depends on ownership, activity and legal requirements.
Prepare your information
- Proposed names and principal business activity.
- Promoter/director identity documents and contact details.
- Office particulars and agreed share/capital allocations.
- SMC nominee information where applicable.
- Additional authority, approval or foreign-participation documents where required.
The usual online sequence
- Create or verify authorised access to SECP eZfile.
- Apply for name reservation separately or with incorporation.
- Review the application and generated memorandum/articles, then attach required documents.
- Complete required authentication, pay the calculated official fee and submit.
- Respond to observations and download the digital incorporation certificate.
Check your next obligations
Verify the integrated FBR NTN result. If a correspondence address was used, SECP’s FAQ says the registered-office address must be provided within 30 days. Then assess banking, tax, licences and ongoing corporate filings separately.
Company registration assistance starts at PKR 20,000 in professional fees. Government fees, additional approvals and ongoing compliance are separately scoped.
