Company law, from registration to exit
Company registration, shareholder agreements, regulatory compliance and foreign investment.
Running a company in Nepal means working with the Office of the Company Registrar, the Inland Revenue Department and, for foreign investment, the Department of Industry. We handle that work so you can run the business.
We advise start-ups incorporating for the first time, established companies restructuring their shareholding, and foreign investors entering the Nepali market.
What we handle
- Private and public company registration
- Shareholder and joint-venture agreements
- Foreign direct investment approvals
- Annual compliance and Company Registrar filings
- Mergers, acquisitions and share transfers
- Commercial contracts and vendor agreements
- Company liquidation and winding up
Good structure at the start prevents most of the disputes we are later asked to litigate.
Why choose Anvi Legal for company matters
We give commercial advice in plain language, with filing deadlines and approval steps set out at the start rather than discovered halfway through. Where a matter needs an auditor, a valuator or a sector regulator, we coordinate that too.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to register a company in Nepal?
A straightforward private limited company is usually registered within one to two weeks once the name is approved and the documents are in order. Sectors needing a separate licence take longer.
Can a foreign national own a company in Nepal?
Foreign investment is permitted in most sectors, subject to approval and a minimum investment threshold, with some sectors restricted. We advise on whether your proposed business qualifies before you commit funds.
What annual filings does a company have to make?
Companies must file annual returns with the Office of the Company Registrar and meet their tax obligations with the Inland Revenue Department. Missing these attracts penalties that grow over time.
