Our Business Registration Services in Nepal
We register every common business structure in Nepal, whether you need a company that limits shareholder liability, a firm owned by one person or by partners, or a non-profit body with a social objective. Our chartered accountants match your ownership, capital and objectives to the right legal form, file it with the correct authority and hand you the business registration certificate. Each registration of a company in Nepal stays with the same people who later look after your PAN, VAT and annual compliance.

Private Limited Company Registration
Family businesses, professional services, tech firms and trading companies in Nepal usually register a private limited company: a separate legal entity with 1 to 101 shareholders, limited liability for each shareholder and no right to offer shares to the public. The Companies Act 2063 sets no statutory minimum capital, though NPR 1 lakh is a common administrative norm. We draft the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA), reserve the name and file your pvt ltd company registration with the Office of the Company Registrar.
Two or more partners who share ownership, profits and liability register a partnership firm in Nepal under the Partnership Act, 2020 (1964). We draft the partnership deed, record each partner's capital and profit share, and complete the registration of your partnership firm, leaving it ready for PAN and a business bank account.
Investment Company Registration
An investment or holding company in Nepal commonly registers as a private limited company whose objectives cover holding shares and investing in other businesses. We word those objectives around the investment activity, structure the shareholding and capital, and file the registration with the OCR so the company can hold and manage its investments.
Sole Proprietorship Registration
A sole proprietorship, or private firm, gives one owner full control and unlimited personal liability, which makes it the simplest structure for a small business in Nepal. We complete your sole proprietorship registration, the local ward registration and the PAN, so the firm can trade, invoice and open a bank account in its own name.
IT / Tech Company Registration
An IT or software company in Nepal usually registers as a private limited company with business objectives written for software development, IT services or digital products. We word those objectives precisely, because the OCR and later licences read them, and we complete your IT company registration with PAN and VAT set up for software sales.
Construction Company Registration
A construction company in Nepal usually registers with the OCR as a private limited company and then needs a construction business licence in the class that matches the contracts it plans to bid for. We handle your construction company registration, align its objectives and capital with the licence class you target, and keep the PAN and tax records that tenders ask for in order.
Public Limited Company Registration
A public limited company in Nepal needs at least 7 shareholders and a minimum paid-up capital of NPR 1 crore (10 million) under the Companies Act 2063, and it may raise capital by issuing shares to the public. Banks, insurers and other businesses that raise public capital register in this form. We prepare the documents for promoters and shareholders, the MOA and AOA, and the OCR filing for your public limited company registration.
NGO Registration
A non-governmental organization in Nepal registers with the District Administration Office for social, welfare, educational or scientific objectives, and it cannot distribute profit to its members. We prepare the constitution, member details and application, then support affiliation with the Social Welfare Council so your NGO registration in Nepal is ready for donor funding and yearly audits.
An international NGO operates in Nepal only after it signs a general agreement with the Social Welfare Council, and that agreement is renewed at the end of its term. We prepare the agreement documents, project details and renewal filings for your INGO registration in Nepal, and we keep the audits and reports the Council reviews in order.
Company registration in Nepal now runs fully online through the Office of the Company Registrar's CAMIS portal, and we manage the whole incorporation of your company from company name reservation to PAN. Online company registration and online business registration both follow the same process of company registration in Nepal, which we complete for you in 8 steps:
Reserve your company name (OCR / CAMIS)
Prepare MOA and AOA
Submit documents online (CAMIS)
OCR verifies the filing
Certificate of Incorporation issued
Register PAN (VAT if applicable)
Ward / local registration
Certificate usually within 7 to 14 days
Before you settle on a name, run it through our company name check, because company name approval fails when a name is too close to an existing company. The government fee follows your authorized capital, and our company registration cost calculator shows the full cost before you commit. The step-by-step registration guide covers each stage in depth.
After incorporation, every company owes a statutory audit, an income-tax return and an annual OCR filing, and the same chartered accountants handle those every year.

How much does company registration cost in Nepal?
Company registration in Nepal costs a government registration fee set by your authorized capital, plus a professional fee for preparing and filing the documents. Together, these two parts make up the company registration fees in Nepal that a new company pays. The OCR fee rises in bands as authorized capital grows, and publication and notary charges are added to it. Our professional fee depends on your company type and the scope of work, so we quote it after a free consultation, and the cost calculator and company registration cost guide estimate your total charges before you commit.
What documents are required to register a company?
A company registration in Nepal needs 6 sets of incorporation documents from the shareholders and directors:
Citizenship certificates of all shareholders
National ID (NID) numbers of all shareholders
Citizenship certificates of two witnesses to the MOA
Passport-size photos of the directors
The signed MOA and AOA
DOI approval and passport copies for foreign shareholders
Which business type should I register: Pvt Ltd, sole proprietorship, or partnership?
A private limited company fits owners who want limited liability and room to add shareholders, a sole proprietorship fits one owner who wants the simplest setup, and a partnership fits two or more people who share ownership and liability. The right choice depends on liability, capital, tax and future investment plans, so compare them in our company type guide or book a free consultation.
Can I register a company online in Nepal?
Yes, you can register a company online in Nepal, because the OCR runs name reservation, document upload, fee payment and incorporation through its CAMIS portal. You can check company name availability in Nepal online before applying, and we file the full application for you.
How long does company registration take?
A clean private limited company file usually moves from name reservation to the electronic Certificate of Incorporation in about 7 to 14 days, in our practice. Name approval, OCR queries on your documents and missing signatures are what extend it.
Do I need a PAN for my business?
Yes, every business in Nepal needs a PAN, and a newly incorporated company registers for one with the Inland Revenue Department within 30 days of incorporation. Without a PAN, a business cannot open a bank account, issue invoices or put employees on the books. PAN registration
When must my company register for VAT?
VAT in Nepal becomes mandatory for your company once annual turnover crosses NPR 50 lakh for goods, or NPR 30 lakh for services or mixed business, under the thresholds in force for FY 2082/83. Some sectors, such as software, telecom, audit and legal services, register from their opening sale regardless of turnover. Registering lets your company claim input VAT on business purchases at the standard 13% rate, and our VAT registration service handles the filing.
Does my company need an annual audit?
Yes, every registered company in Nepal needs an annual statutory audit by an ICAN-licensed audit firm or chartered accountant, and the law sets no size exemption. The audited accounts support your income-tax return and OCR annual filing, and our statutory audit page sets out how the audit works.
What is a tax clearance certificate and do I need one?
For a business in Nepal, the tax clearance certificate is the Inland Revenue Department's confirmation that it has filed its tax returns and paid its dues for a fiscal year. You need one for government tenders, licence renewals, some bank and investment work, and profit repatriation. We prepare the filings so your tax clearance certificate is issued on time.
Can a foreigner register a company in Nepal?
Yes, a foreigner can register a company in Nepal through foreign direct investment approval from the Department of Industry, or Investment Board Nepal for larger projects, under FITTA 2019. The minimum FDI is NPR 20 million, with an automatic approval route for investments up to NPR 500 million. Nepal Rastra Bank records the inbound capital, which later allows profits and capital to be repatriated, and our FDI company registration service manages each approval.
What happens after I register my company?
After registration, your company in Nepal owes 4 recurring obligations every fiscal year:
A statutory audit by an ICAN-licensed chartered accountant
An income-tax return within three months of the fiscal year end
The OCR annual filing
Company, firm and ward renewals
Business Registration Nepal handles all four, plus VAT returns if you are VAT-registered, under one annual compliance plan.
What are the risks of running an unregistered business?
An unregistered business in Nepal faces 3 practical limits:
No PAN, so no business bank account, tax invoices or payroll
No legal identity to sign contracts, bid for tenders or take investment
Exposure to back taxes and fines once the trade comes to light
Registering your business correctly from the start removes all three.
