Company Registration in Nepal

Start Your Company the Right Way, the First Time

Setting up a company in Nepal means working through the Office of the Company Registrar (OCR), PAN registration with the Inland Revenue Department, and multiple supporting approvals — and a single filing mistake can delay your business by weeks. CompanySathi handles company registration in Nepal end to end, for Private Limited Companies, Public Limited Companies, One Person Companies, and Non-Profit Organizations, so you can focus on actually running the business.

Whether you're a first-time entrepreneur in Kathmandu, an existing business converting structure, or a foreign investor setting up a subsidiary under Nepal's foreign investment rules, our CA-led team prepares your documents, drafts your Memorandum and Articles of Association, and manages the entire registration process under the Companies Act 2063.
