Why Register a Company with SECP?
A registered company gives your business legal identity, limited liability protection, credibility with banks and clients, and eligibility for contracts, funding, and international payments that sole proprietorships often can't access. The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) now allows fully digital incorporation through its eServices portal — there's no need to visit an SECP office or facilitation counter in person for a standard registration, and NTNWaale handles the entire process for you over WhatsApp from document collection through to the final Certificate of Incorporation.
Company Structures We Register
- Single Member Company (SMC) — ideal for solo founders wanting limited liability without bringing in a second shareholder
- Private Limited Company — for businesses with 2 or more directors/shareholders, the standard structure for most growing businesses
- Partnership / Firm Registration — for traditional partnership setups that don't need SECP incorporation
Not sure which structure actually fits your situation? Our guide comparing sole proprietorship, AOP, and private limited company walks through the tradeoffs on liability, tax rate, and cost before you commit to SECP incorporation specifically.
SECP Company Registration Fee — What's Actually Included
Our SECP company registration service starts at PKR 16,000. This covers company name reservation and availability check, drafting of the Memorandum and Articles of Association (MOA/AOA), the digital incorporation filing itself on SECP's eServices portal, and guidance through digital signature setup. It does not include SECP's own government filing fee, which is charged separately by SECP based on your authorized capital and paid directly to SECP during the filing step — we tell you the exact government fee for your specific capital amount before you commit, so there are no surprises. See our full pricing page for the complete breakdown, including SECP annual return filing once your company is incorporated.
What's Included
- Company name reservation and availability check
- Memorandum & Articles of Association drafting
- Digital incorporation filing on SECP eServices
- Certificate of Incorporation and digital signature setup guidance
- Post-incorporation NTN registration for the company
Your SECP Certificate of Incorporation
Once SECP approves your filing, you receive a digital Certificate of Incorporation (CoI) bearing your company's unique CUIN (Company Universal Identification Number) — this is the legal proof your company exists, and it's what banks, clients, and government departments will ask to see. It's issued as a digital document directly through SECP's own system, and we send it to you along with guidance on the next steps: opening a company bank account, registering the company's own NTN, and, if relevant, sales tax registration.
Documents Required
- CNIC copies of all directors/shareholders
- Proposed company name (2-3 options, in case your first choice isn't available)
- Registered office address
- Nature of business activity
Once these are ready and sent over WhatsApp, we handle name reservation, drafting, and the SECP eServices filing on your behalf, keeping you updated at each stage rather than leaving you to track the portal yourself.
