PARTNERSHIP FIRM REGISTRATION PROCESS IN PAKISTAN
A partnership (also known as a Firm / Form C) is a business structure that functions similarly to a sole proprietorship, but with multiple people running it. Depending on their agreement, the general partners split the profits and/or losses.
They share authority and responsibility for business operations. Partnership taxes are paid by the general partners on their personal tax returns in proportion to their share of ownership under the terms of the partnership agreement.
In order to register a partnership firm in Pakistan, an application on Form 1 must be filed with the registrar of firms, along with the following documents:
- A minimum of two people are required to register a business as a partnership firm, and the following information is required for each partner: Full Name, Father or Husband Name, Residential Address, and Occupation.
-
A copy of both partners’ national identification cards.
-
A partnership deed on stamp paper is required as well.
-
Proof of the Partnership Business’s address, typically an electricity bill
-
If the Partnership Business’s address is rented, a rent deed is required.
-
Original receipt of the Partnership Fee deposited in the National Bank of Pakistan.
-
Signatures of all partners in a partnership/firm in the presence of the registrar or an authorized officer.
You should keep in mind that if one of the partners is sued, all of the partners are held liable. Another disadvantage is that decision-making is shared among the partners, so no single person has control.
