    Our Method

    BOI registration process, step by step

    1. Scoping

    We confirm your proposed office type, planned activities, and expected timelines. You receive a tailored checklist that highlights attestation requirements and fee heads in advance.

    2. Filing

    Our team prepares and files the BOI online application, attaches notarized and apostilled documents, and ensures submission of BOI filing fees in USD through compliant channels.

    3. Security Clearance

    We manage responses during scrutiny and coordinate with the Ministry of Interior for security clearance, keeping you informed with weekly updates.

    4. Approval Letter

    Once approved, we share the official BOI letter detailing validity and conditions. Immediately after, we begin SECP and FBR post-approval steps to avoid delays.

    5. SECP & FBR

    We register your entity as a foreign company with SECP, obtain NTN registration with FBR, and prepare the necessary bank introduction letters for smooth onboarding.

    6. Go Live

    Finally, we assist with business bank account opening, employer registrations (EOBI, SESSI, PRA if applicable), and set up your compliance calendar for renewals and ongoing obligations.
