Common questions

What are the recurring SECP filings for a private company?

The core recurring items are the annual return following the annual general meeting, change filings for directors and officers, beneficial ownership updates, and mortgage or charge filings where applicable. Missing them attracts penalties that compound.

What does the State Bank require from a foreign-owned company?

Inward foreign investment must be reported through the authorised dealer bank, and remittances of dividends, royalties or technical fees require documentation and prior approvals in some cases. Getting the inbound paperwork right is what makes later repatriation possible.
