Private Limited company with foreign director

Private company (other than single member company)

Definition: Private company [Section 2(49)] “private company” means a company which, by its articles:

(a) restricts the right to transfer its shares;

(b) limits the number of its members to fifty not including persons who are in the employment of the company;

 (c) prohibits any invitation to the public to subscribe for the shares or debentures of the company:

Provided that, where two or more persons hold one or more shares in a company jointly, they shall, for the purposes of this definition, be treated as a single member. Private companies are usually small and medium sized family owned businesses.

Private company is a firm held under private ownership. Private companies may issue stock and have shareholders, but their shares do not trade on public exchanges and are not issued through an initial public offering (IPO). As a result, private firms do not need to meet the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SECP) strict filing requirements for public companies.

Private company is required to have minimum 2 members  and 2 directors

4: Deposit of Shares:After the registration, shareholders must deposit their corresponding amount of shares to the company’s bank account.

 5: Registration of Income, Sales, and Professional Taxes.In conclusion, the last step of company registration in Pakistan is the registration with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and issuance of a national tax number (NTN). A sales tax registration number may be registered if applicable.
