Common questions
How many directors and shareholders do I need?
A private limited company in Sri Lanka needs at least one shareholder, one director and a company secretary. One person can hold more than one of these roles.
Can I incorporate from overseas?
Yes. The whole process runs online — we collect documents digitally and keep you updated through your StartOne dashboard, whatever the time zone.
What happens after incorporation?
Your StartOne compliance calendar is created automatically: TIN registration, your first Annual Return, and anything else your answers tell us applies to you.
