How to start registering a business in Nepal

Describe the business and its owners

Write down what the business will do, who will own it and where it will operate. Consider whether there is one owner, several shareholders or an organization with a different purpose. This helps identify the appropriate route and the questions that need to be answered.

A sole proprietorship and a company are different structures. Do not assume that company registration is the right starting point for every activity. The responsible authority and any industry approval depend on the structure and business.

For a company, prepare the core documents

The Office of Company Registrar’s published checklist includes the application, the applicable memorandum and articles, founder identification, and any approval required for the activity. The exact documents depend on the company type and founders.

Foreign investment and joint ventures can need additional permissions and documents. Confirm the current requirements before submitting. Hisab Kitab helps organize the checklist and coordinate preparation.

• Proposed business name and activities
• Ownership, founders and capital information
• Identification and relevant company documents
• Any approval required for the activity

Think beyond the registration certificate

Ask which tax registrations, local requirements, sector permissions and accounting arrangements apply to your business. A company certificate is one part of the setup; it does not answer every question about beginning operations.

Set up a simple way to keep business bills, sales records and bank activity from the start. Clear records make later reporting and tax work easier.

Separate the service fee from official charges

A registration quote should identify the assistance provided and distinguish the consultancy fee from government charges or other statutory payments. Ownership, structure and the work required can change the scope. Avoid relying on a price that does not explain what it covers.
