Corporate & Business Law in Islamabad

Pakistan's business landscape is evolving rapidly — with thousands of startups registering with SECP each year, growing CPEC-driven investment, and an expanding digital economy. ILS provides practical, business-focused legal advice that helps founders, investors, and established companies build on solid legal foundations.

SECP Company Registration

We handle company registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) for private limited companies, single-member companies, and Section 42 non-profit companies. Our service covers document preparation, SECP eZfile portal filing, and initial compliance advice.

  • Private Limited Company (minimum 2 members)
  • Single Member Company — SMC (1 founder)
  • Public Limited Company registration
  • Section 42 non-profit company
  • Memorandum and Articles of Association drafting
  • Post-registration compliance (annual returns, change filings)

Commercial Contracts & Agreements

Well-drafted contracts are the foundation of any business. ILS drafts, reviews, and negotiates a full range of commercial agreements — protecting your interests and reducing legal risk.

  • Shareholder and partnership agreements
  • Service agreements and retainer contracts
  • Distribution and agency agreements
  • Employment contracts and HR policies
  • NDAs and confidentiality agreements
  • Franchise and licensing agreements
  • Joint venture and MOU drafting
  • SaaS and technology agreements

Startup & SME Advisory

We work with Islamabad's startup ecosystem — from pre-incorporation advice on structure and equity to investor term sheets and SECP compliance as the business scales. We understand the practical realities of early-stage businesses.

Regulatory Compliance

Beyond registration, companies face ongoing obligations under the Companies Act 2017, FBR, SBP, and sector-specific regulators. ILS provides annual compliance packages and handles SECP filings, director changes, and winding-up procedures.

Intellectual Property

We assist businesses with trademark registration at IPO-Pakistan, copyright registration, and IP licensing — protecting your brand and creative work across Pakistan and internationally.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does SECP company registration cost? +
Government filing fees start from PKR 3,500 for a private limited company. ILS legal fees for a straightforward registration start from PKR 25,000, inclusive of document preparation and SECP filing. Contact us for an exact quote based on your structure.
How long does SECP registration take? +
With complete documents, SECP's eZfile portal processes registrations within 1–3 working days. ILS typically completes the full process including document preparation within 5–7 working days from the date of instruction.
Can a foreigner register a company in Pakistan? +
Yes. Foreign nationals can hold up to 100% equity in most sectors. Requirements are largely the same as for Pakistani nationals, plus foreign equity reporting to the State Bank of Pakistan. ILS regularly assists international founders with Pakistani company registration.
What is the difference between a Private Limited and an SMC? +
A Private Limited Company requires minimum 2 directors and 2 shareholders. An SMC requires only 1. For solo founders, the SMC structure is often simpler. ILS advises on the optimal structure during your free consultation.
