Frequently Asked Questions
What is a foreign company in Pakistan's law?
A company incorporated outside Pakistan that establishes a place of business or branch in Pakistan must register with SECP as a foreign company.
What documents are required?
Mother-company incorporation documents, board resolutions, audited financials, and UK/Pakistan apostilled or notarised papers under the applicable rules.
Can I instead form a local subsidiary?
Yes, many foreign investors prefer a locally incorporated private limited company. We help you compare both options and choose the best fit.
