About us
We started this because we lived the problem
Registering a business in Sri Lanka shouldn't take three trips to Colombo, a folder of photocopies and a favour from someone's uncle. StartOne is the service we wished existed on our own day one.
Every year, thousands of Sri Lankans start businesses — and almost every one of them learns the same things the hard way. That the Registrar of Companies, the Inland Revenue Department and the Labour Department don't talk to each other. That a missed Annual Return quietly stacks up penalties. That the incorporation certificate you need for the bank is somewhere in an email from your old consultant.
StartOne puts a modern, honest layer over all of it. Real professionals — company secretaries and accountants — do the filings. Clean software keeps you informed, stores every document, and warns you before every deadline. You always know what it costs, where it stands and what comes next.
We're a small Sri Lankan team, and we like it that way: every customer gets people who know their file, not a ticket number.
Straight dealing
Fixed prices, government fees at cost with receipts shown, and honest advice — including 'you don't need this yet'.
Nothing hidden
Every order has a live timeline. You see the same status our team sees — no chasing, no 'we'll get back to you'.
Local for real
Built in Sri Lanka, for Sri Lankan rules — the ones that change with every budget. Tracking them is our whole job.
