Common questions

Business registration or a company — which do I need?

A business name registration is quicker and cheaper, but you and the business are legally the same person. A (Pvt) Ltd protects your personal assets and looks stronger to banks and clients. We'll tell you honestly which fits.

Does this give me a TIN?

No — the TIN comes from the Inland Revenue Department separately. Most customers add TIN registration to this order and we handle both together.
