Types of Business Entities

Sole Proprietorship
The simplest and easiest way to start a business in Pakistan, with one person owning and managing all financial transactions. Common examples include beauty parlors, event management firms, and restaurants.

Public Limited Company
A limited liability company that can sell and trade shares publicly. These companies must disclose their financial status to provide transparency to buyers and sellers.

Company Limited by Guarantee
Ideal for non-profit organizations, where profits are reinvested into the company’s mission rather than distributed to members. Directors act as guarantors.

Company Limited by Shares
This can be a private or public company where ownership is tied to the shares held by members. The company is a separate legal entity, protecting owners from personal liability.

Unlimited Company
Similar to a private company limited by shares, but members are fully liable for the company’s debts, risking their personal assets.
