Company Registration in Nepal: The Basics




1. Types of Companies in Nepal


Before registering a company you have to decide what kind of company is suitable for your business needs. Currently, three types of companies can be established in Nepal according to the Companies Act 2006 (2063 B.S.). They are :-
  • Private limited company - requires only one shareholder or promoter 
  • Public limited company - requires at least seven shareholders and promoters 
  • Non-profit company - requires at least five members
A minimum paid up capital of 10 Million Nepalese Rupees is required to register a public limited company. Private company does not have any minimum capital requirements.

A non-profit company does not have shareholders, it only has members and does not require any form of minimum capital.

 

2. Documents Required for Registration


The following documents are required:
  • Memorandum of association of proposed company 
  • Articles of association of proposed company 
  • Copy of the agreement such as Joint Venture Agreement or Memorandum of Understanding (if any) 
  • Approval licence if a company is intending to operate a business regulated under Industrial Business Act 
  • Incorporation decision of its board of directors and other major documents if the promoter is a company
  • Approval under the Foreign Investment and Technology Transfer Act if the promoter is a foreign national or foreign companyIn addition
  • Powers of Attorney are required if promoters want to send a representative rather than appear in the Office of the Companies Registrar themselves.

 

 3. Costs


The government fees are based on Authorised Capital and are charged are as follows (for Nepali nationals opening a private limited company, please note that this may change in the future):
  • Up to NPR 100,000 (authorized capital): NRS 1,000.
  •  NRS 100,001 to NRS 500,000: NRS 4,500.
  •  NRS 500,001 to NRS 2,500,000: NRS 9,500.
  •  NRS 2,500,001 to NRS 10,000,000: NRS 16,000.
  •  NRS 10,000,001 to NRS 20,000,000: NRS 19,000.
  •  NRS 20,000,001 to NRS 30,000,000: NRS 22,000.
  •  NRS 30,000,001 to NRS 40,000,000: NRS 25,000.
  •  NRS 40,000,001 to NRS 50,000,000: NRS 28,000.
  •  NRS 50,000,001 to NRS 60,000,000: NRS 31,000.
  •  NRS 60,000,001 to NRS 70,000,000: NRS 34,000.
  •  NRS 70,000,001 to NRS 80,000,000: NRS 37,000.
  •  NRS 80,000,001 to NRS 90,000,000: NRS 40,000.
  •  NRS 90,000,001 to NRS 100,000,000: NRS 43,000.
  •  More than NRS 100,000,000: NRS 43,000 plus NRS 30 for each additional NRS 100,000.

Other costs for registration, the main one being legal fees, varies with the type of businesses, complexity of the relationship between the shareholders, and on many other factors. For a small company for Nepali nationals with no complications and where no additional services such as drafting extra contracts (labour contracts, lease contracts) and tax registration and planning are being offered, it should not cost more than NRS 20,000-30,000 per Company. 

When complex issues are involved, and the needs of multiple investors have to be balanced, legal fees charged by specialised corporate lawyers can be more expensive, but mistakes in the initial stages may cost you more in the future. Therefore, it is advised not to compromise on the quality of legal advice if you are a serious investor.

4. Time


The registration takes on average 15 days.

  10. Thanks for sharing this post I also share with you some tip hope you like. You can place cash, stock, real estate or other valuable assets in your trust. You meet with an attorney and decide on the beneficiaries and set stipulations. Maybe you say that the beneficiaries receive a monthly payment, can only use the funds for education expenses, expenses due to an injury or disability, or the purchase of a first home. It's your money so you get to decide.

  13. Thanks for share this post I also share with you something hope you like my post. With a will, there is a period of time after you pass where all your assets are frozen until a judge can verify the validity of the will. This is what we know as probate. Most often, the key reason for establishing a trust is to avoid a probate which saves all parties time, money and paperwork. Thanks

  23. Stay away from 'Yes men'
    It is not hard to find stories of offshore software development firms over-promising and under-delivering. With increasing competition among offshore vendors, some of the companies would go to any length to land contracts. In a desperate attempt to keep up the volume of work, they tend to start telling the clients exactly what the clients want to hear, all the time. They end up saying Yes to everything that comes their way. '

    2

    Get involved, stay engaged
    Some people still think that you can put a bunch of software developers in a room, feed them project specifications, pizza and soda, and the complete product magically appears in a few weeks or month, only to discover upon delivery that project has gone way off-track. Not being passionately involved with your offshore team is a recipe for failure. Your team is not addressing a technology challenge; they are addressing your business challenge using technology. And no one knows your business and your vision better than you.

    3

    Communication is key
    It's easy to underestimate this, but communication failures are the biggest IT project killers; whether they are onsite or offshore. Putting good communication frameworks in place is ever more critical while working with global teams. One of the most important things you should do is to demand a seasoned project manager located offshore who works directly with the developers. This person should manage all communication since developers are not the best communicators and should provide you daily status reports. I

    Do your homework and document well
    Offshore teams are best trained to develop robust software applications based on elaborate business requirements documents. But most clients tend to engage developers pretty early in the process with a vague project concept in mind, and assume that the developers would know exactly what they want. There is no substitute for a clearly documented project vision that should come from you. For this reason it is extremely beneficial to create a project initiation document or RFP (Request For Proposal) before you engage an offshore team.

  33. To delve deeply into Offshore Company Formation is an exciting adventure. Many an afternoon has been enjoyed by a family, bonding over the discussion of Offshore Company Formation. Until recently considered taboo amongst polite society, it is impossible to overestimate its impact on modern thought. It is an unfortunate consequence of our civilizations history that Offshore Company Formation is rarely given rational consideration by the easily lead, many of whom blame the influence of television. Relax, sit back and gasp as I display the rich tapestries of Offshore Company Formation.

  37. All you have to spend on legal processing for registration varies from 5000 to 10000.I have done for 5000. No need to worry just go to the related department (i.e kuleshowor in kathmandu) and you will find many broker out there for help. Just ask one of them for process, with in a day or next day you get your company registered.Best of luck for your entrepreneurship.
