Questions
How do I register a private limited company in Sri Lanka?
We reserve your company name, prepare the incorporation documents and Articles of Association, file them with the Registrar of Companies and deliver your Certificate of Incorporation. You only need to provide director and shareholder details and identity documents.
How many directors and shareholders do I need?
A private limited company needs at least one director and one shareholder. The same person can be both. A company secretary must also be appointed.
How long does company registration take?
Once all documents are ready, registration usually takes around a week, depending on processing time at the Registrar of Companies.
Why does my company need a company secretary?
The Companies Act No. 07 of 2007 requires every company to have a secretary, who makes sure returns are filed on time and statutory records are kept properly. We connect you with licensed company secretaries.
Can a foreigner register a company in Sri Lanka?
Yes, subject to the applicable investment rules and restrictions in some sectors. We guide foreign investors on the right structure and the approvals needed.
Do you help after registration?
Yes. We connect you with company secretaries and tax consultants, set up your accounting and offer annual compliance packages so your company stays compliant.
How much does company registration cost?
