One point of contact for a complex market.

Pakistan offers significant opportunity for international investors — and significant regulatory complexity. UMCO is the single local partner that handles everything from entity formation to profit repatriation.

Overview

International Investors

International businesses entering Pakistan face an unfamiliar regulatory landscape: SECP for corporate registration, FBR for tax and NTN, SBP for foreign-exchange and remittance approvals, and provincial bodies for sales-tax registration. Navigating these concurrently while meeting a contract deadline is a significant operational challenge.

UMCO has helped Gulf-based, European, and Asian companies establish fully compliant Pakistan presences — often within eight weeks. We act as the single coordinated point of accountability, removing the need to manage multiple local advisors, and continue as the company's ongoing compliance partner once operations begin.
