Overview

What This Service Covers

Partnership firm registration brings together a written partnership deed and the appropriate registration and PAN route for the activity and location. It is not a company-registration route through the Office of the Company Registrar.

The partners should settle their commercial terms, intended activity and operating location before the deed and registration material are prepared.

What Our Service Includes

  • Partnership-deed, registration and PAN-coordination support within the agreed engagement.
  • A route review before filing, because industrial, local and sector-specific requirements can differ.
  • Preparation support for a deed that records the partners' agreed ownership, management and exit arrangements.

Who It Is For

  • Partners who have identified the activity, location and intended roles before registration begins.
  • Two or more Nepali individuals starting a trading, contracting, hospitality or professional-service business together.
  • Partners who need their agreed capital, profit sharing, management and exit terms reflected in a written deed.

What Is Not Assumed

  • Partners generally have personal liability for the firm's obligations.
  • The relevant authority decides name acceptance, registration and certificate issue.
  • A foreign partner, industrial activity or regulated activity can require a different or additional route.
  • The final registering office, checklist, fee and Company Darta scope must be confirmed for the individual case.

KEY ROUTE DECISIONS FOR PARTNERSHIP FIRM REGISTRATION

  • Intended audience: Two or more Nepali partners.
  • Primary authority or route: Route-dependent; IRD for PAN.
  • Core route definition: Partnership firm registration brings together a written partnership deed and the appropriate registration and PAN route for the activity and location. It is not a company-registration route through the Office of the Company Registrar.
  • Main dependency: Whether the activity or partner profile requires an additional route before the firm can operate.
Why It Matters

Doing It Yourself vs. Working With Us

  • The partners keep their identity, capital, premises and signature information ready for the selected route.
