About this service

Find the Right Business Setup Consultant in Pakistan

A business setup consultant helps you start a new company correctly from day one. Getting the basics right — the right legal structure, proper registration, and the correct tax setup — saves you from expensive problems later.

They guide you on whether to register as a sole proprietor, an AOP, or a private limited company, then handle the paperwork with SECP and FBR. They also help you get an NTN, a bank account, and any licences your business needs.

In Pakistan, the setup process can feel confusing, with different steps for different authorities. A good setup consultant makes it simple, so you can focus on your actual business instead of forms and offices.

On Consultance.online you can compare verified business setup consultants, check their experience, and send a free inquiry.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about finding a Business Setup Consultant in Pakistan.

What does a business setup consultant do?
A business setup consultant helps you start a company correctly. They advise on the right legal structure, handle SECP company registration, get your NTN and tax registration with FBR, guide you on opening a bank account, and help with any licences your business needs. Their goal is to get you fully set up and compliant with minimum stress.
How much does it cost to set up a business in Pakistan?
The consultant's service fee usually ranges from PKR 5,000 for a simple NTN setup to PKR 80,000 or more for a full private limited company registration. Government and SECP fees are paid separately on top of this. Complete packages that include tax, bank, and licences cost more. Always get a clear breakdown.
Which business structure should I choose in Pakistan?
It depends on your goals. A sole proprietorship is simplest for individuals. An AOP suits partners. A private limited company offers limited liability and looks more credible to investors and banks, but has more compliance. A setup consultant will recommend the best fit after understanding your plans.
How long does business registration take?
A sole proprietor NTN can often be done in a few days. A private limited company registration with SECP typically takes one to two weeks, depending on name approval and document readiness. Your consultant will give you a realistic timeline for your structure.
Do I need to register for tax when I set up a business?
Yes. Every business should get an NTN from FBR. If your business crosses the sales tax threshold or is in a taxable sector, you also need sales tax registration. A setup consultant makes sure you register for the right taxes from the start, so you avoid penalties later.
Can overseas Pakistanis set up a business here?
Yes. Overseas Pakistanis can register businesses in Pakistan, often with the help of a local consultant who handles the paperwork on their behalf. A setup consultant can guide you on the documents and any special steps needed for non-resident owners.
Can this be done online?
Much of the setup process can now be handled online, and a good consultant can guide you remotely, collecting documents digitally. You may only need to visit a bank in person to open your account.
