TYPES OF COMPANY REGISTRATION IN PAKISTAN

Private Limited Company Registration (PVT LTD):

A PVT LTD in Pakistan is a separate legal entity with limited liability for its shareholders. It requires a minimum of two shareholders, and shares are privately held, making it suitable for small to medium-sized businesses.

Single Member Company Registration (SMC PVT LTD):

A single shareholder private limited corporation is known as an SMC. It is perfect for business owners who want to enjoy corporate perks but still maintain total control over their enterprise since it provides minimal liability.

Limited Liability Partnership Registration (LLP):

An LLP in Pakistan combines features of both a partnership and a company. It provides limited liability protection to partners and is best suited for professional services firms or small businesses wanting flexibility in management.

Sole Proprietor:

A sole proprietorship is a business owned and controlled by a single individual. It is simple to establish, and as there is no legal separation between the owner and the company, the owner is fully liable for all debts and liabilities.
