What company registration in Pakistan means
Company registration in Pakistan is the legal process of incorporating a business with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), which gives the business a separate legal identity, limited liability for its owners and formal recognition under the Companies Act, 2017.
Taxocrate Company Registration Services manages the full incorporation journey — from reserving the company name to filing with the SECP and arranging NTN registration with the FBR. The desk is supervised by Qanoon Corporate Law Associates and operates as part of the wider Qanoon Group, so corporate, taxation and documentation matters are handled together rather than in isolation.
How the company registration process works
The company registration process in Pakistan generally moves through name reservation, incorporation filing with the SECP, and tax registration with the FBR. The stages below outline how a typical incorporation progresses.
- 01
Name reservation
A proposed company name is checked for availability and reserved with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) before the incorporation filing begins.
- 02
Incorporation filing
The incorporation application, along with the company’s constitutional documents, is submitted to the SECP through its online eServices portal for review.
- 03
Certificate of Incorporation
Once the SECP is satisfied that the filing meets its requirements, it issues the Certificate of Incorporation, giving the company a separate legal identity.
- 04
NTN registration
After incorporation, the company is generally registered with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) for a National Tax Number (NTN) so it can meet its tax obligations.
- 05
Post-incorporation steps
Remaining steps may include opening a corporate bank account and arranging routine statutory filings, subject to the company’s structure and activity.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions founders ask most often about company registration in Pakistan, the available structures and what happens after incorporation.
