Register your company in Nepal correctly the first time, fully compliant with OCR and IRD
Book Free ConsultationCompany registration in Nepal is the legal process of incorporating a business entity under the Company Act 2063 through the Office of the Company Registrar (OCR). This creates a legally recognized entity separate from its owners, enabling the business to enter contracts, open bank accounts, apply for loans, and operate formally.
Beyond OCR registration, a new company must also obtain a Permanent Account Number (PAN) from the Inland Revenue Department (IRD), and register for VAT if its annual turnover exceeds the threshold set by the IRD. Each of these steps involves specific documentation, procedures, and timelines.
Getting the registration right the first time matters. Errors in your Memorandum of Association (MOA), Articles of Association (AOA), or shareholding structure can be costly and time-consuming to correct later, especially once banking relationships and contracts are established.
The paperwork required for company registration involves multiple government agencies with specific formatting requirements. Without expert guidance, documents are frequently returned for corrections, delaying the entire process.
Selecting the wrong company type, whether Private Limited, Public Limited, or Single Member Company, affects your tax obligations, shareholder rights, and operational flexibility for years to come.
Without PAN and VAT where applicable, you cannot open a proper business bank account, issue valid tax invoices, or begin formal operations. Delays here stall your entire business launch.
Once registered, companies face immediate compliance obligations including annual renewals, AGM requirements, and tax filings. Many new business owners are unaware of these requirements until they face penalties.
Operating an unregistered business in Nepal exposes the owner to personal liability for all business debts and legal claims. There is no corporate shield protecting personal assets.
Banks in Nepal require a registered company with PAN and valid company documents before opening a corporate account or processing loan applications.
Government contracts, procurement bids, and many B2B contracts require the counterparty to be a legally registered company with valid tax clearance.
Companies that miss annual OCR renewals face fines and potential de-registration, which can make the company legally non-operational and require a costly reinstatement process.
