Company Incorporation in Nepal for Foreign Enterprises

The Right Structure—or Years of Unnecessary Costs

Choosing the wrong business structure can derail your long-term goals, create tax inefficiencies, and increase regulatory exposure. For large multinational companies, this decision is not just about compliance—it’s about setting the stage for scalability and sustainable operations.

We meticulously evaluate your business needs to recommend the optimal structure:

• Private Limited Company: Perfect for agile, growth-focused enterprises.
• Branch Office: A streamlined option for market entry without full incorporation.
• Public Limited Company: Designed for businesses seeking public investment and market visibility.
• Joint Venture: Ideal for leveraging local expertise and shared risks.
  
  

A poorly chosen structure could mean years of unnecessary costs, regulatory hurdles, or even legal exposure. Our team ensures your foundation is solid.

One Mistake in Documentation Can Stall Your Entire Operation

Legal paperwork in Nepal is notoriously detailed, and even a minor error can result in costly delays or outright rejections. Our legal experts meticulously handle:

• Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) drafting
• Shareholder agreements tailored to protect your investments
• Comprehensive financial disclosures to meet regulatory standards
• Applications for company name reservation and incorporation certificates
• Acquisition of mandatory registration certificates

With our expertise, you avoid the pitfalls that could derail your incorporation.

One Missed Approval Could Stall Your Operations Indefinitely

Nepal’s regulatory landscape is complex and multilayered, involving multiple agencies and overlapping requirements. Missing an approval or misunderstanding a regulation can stall your operations indefinitely.

Our team ensures your business meets every requirement, securing approvals from key agencies, including:

• Office of the Company Registrar (OCR)
• Department of Industry (DOI)
• Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB)

With us, you’ll never need to worry about bureaucratic delays or compliance gaps.

Tax Non-Compliance Can Devastate Your Business

Nepal’s tax laws are rigorous, and non-compliance can result in severe financial penalties, audits, and reputational damage. We make sure your company stays on the right side of the law by:

• Registering your Permanent Account Number (PAN) and VAT
• Setting up systems for financial reporting and audits
• Guiding you through cross-border tax implications and transfer pricing
• Assisting in setting up corporate bank accounts for efficient cash flow management

We future-proof your financial operations to ensure compliance at every stage.

Streamline Investment Approvals—or Risk Missing Market Opportunities

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is heavily regulated in Nepal. Delays in approvals can stall your business plans, and incomplete applications can result in outright rejection.

We simplify the process, handling:

• FDI applications and documentation
• Securing clearances from government departments
• Ensuring full compliance with Nepal’s FDI laws

With our expertise, you’ll secure the approvals you need—on time, every time.
