Company registration/Incorporation (SECP)
Company incorporation is the legal process of establishing a new business entity, typically a corporation, under the laws and regulations of a specific jurisdiction. It involves registering the company with the appropriate government authorities, specifying its structure, and obtaining legal recognition as a distinct legal entity.
Benefits of Incorporating a company:
- Limited Liability: Shareholders' personal assets are generally protected from business debts and liabilities, limiting their financial risk.
- Credibility: A registered company often has greater credibility and trust in the eyes of customers, suppliers, and investors.
- Perpetual Existence: Corporations can exist indefinitely, separate from the owners, ensuring business continuity.
- Access to Capital: Corporations can raise capital by issuing shares and attracting investments more easily than unincorporated businesses.
- Tax Benefits: Corporate structures may offer tax advantages, such as lower tax rates or tax-deductible business expenses, depending on the jurisdiction.
