Legal Requirements: Compliance Under the Private Firm Registration Act, 2014

Private firm registration is governed by the Private Firm Registration Act, 2014. According to Section 3 of the Act, any person intending to operate a business must register the firm if the business involves commercial transactions, and mandatory registration applies to firms exceeding specified capital thresholds or those involved in regulated industries.

Compliance ensures that your business is recognized as a legal entity, preventing disruptions in operations and ensuring eligibility for government incentives.

Unique Firm Name: As per the Act, the proposed name must be unique and not conflict with existing registered firms or trademarks.
Capital Declaration: The application must accurately declare the total capital investment, which determines the registration fee payable to the government.
Principal Place of Business: A registered office address must be declared, validated by a lease agreement or proof of ownership, as per Section 4.
Proprietor Details: The application requires full details of the proprietor, including parents’ and grandparents’ names, and a copy of the Nepali citizenship certificate.
Objectives and Scope: A clear description of the nature of goods or services the firm intends to deal with must be specified in the application.
