Choose Your Structure

Which company type fits your business?

The right structure depends on ownership, funding plans, and how you intend to grow. Here's how the three most common options in Nepal compare.

Private Limited

The most common structure for small and medium businesses in Nepal.

  • 1–101 shareholders
  • Limited liability protection
  • Shares cannot be offered to the public
  • Simpler ongoing compliance than Public Ltd

Public Limited

For businesses planning to raise capital from the public or list shares.

  • Minimum 7 shareholders, no upper cap
  • Can offer shares to the public
  • Higher minimum capital requirements
  • Additional disclosure and audit obligations

NGO / Non-Profit

For organizations operating for social, charitable, or non-commercial purposes.

  • Registered under the Association Registration Act
  • No profit distribution to members
  • Eligible for specific tax exemptions
  • Separate compliance track from companies
The Process

From name reservation to certificate

Step 1

Name reservation

We check your proposed company name against the Office of the Company Registrar's database and reserve it before drafting begins.

Step 2

Document preparation

Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) drafted to match your shareholding and business structure.

Step 3

OCR filing

Full submission to the Office of the Company Registrar, with all supporting documents checked before filing to avoid rejection.

Step 4

Certificate & follow-through

We track the filing until your certificate of incorporation is issued, and flag anything OCR comes back with along the way.

Step 5

PAN & VAT registration

Once registered, we handle your PAN registration and VAT registration where applicable, so you're compliant from day one.

Documents to have ready

Citizenship certificate or passport of all shareholders and directors

Common Questions

Company registration, answered honestly

How long does company registration take in Nepal?

It depends on entity type and how quickly your documents are ready. We give you a realistic timeline in the first conversation based on your specific case, not a generic estimate.

What's the difference between Private Limited and Public Limited?

A Private Limited company restricts share transfer and caps shareholders at 101, suited to most small and medium businesses. A Public Limited company can offer shares to the public with additional compliance requirements.

Do I need a physical office to register a company?

You need a registered office address for OCR filing, but it doesn't need to be a large commercial space — a documented address meeting OCR requirements is enough.

Can a foreigner or NRN register a company in Nepal?

Yes, with additional approvals depending on sector and investment structure. We advise on the specific requirements for foreign and NRN investment as part of registration.
