Step 1: Choose your company type & name
- Decide what type of company you’re registering — most new ventures go for a Private Limited Company (Pvt. Ltd.). Company Sewa+3nepallawyer.com+3digitalconsultingventures.com+3
- Choose a unique name (in both English and Nepali) that isn’t already in use or too similar to another company. Company Khata+2Tax Services Nepal+2
- Reserve the company name via the online portal of the Office of Company Registrar (OCR). application.ocr.gov.np+1
📄 Step 2: Prepare required documents
While waiting for name reservation, you should gather and prepare the relevant documents:
- Memorandum of Association (MOA) & Articles of Association (AOA) for your company. Dipen Company+1
- Copies of citizenship or passport of promoters/shareholders/directors. digitalconsultingventures.com
- Proof of registered office address (lease agreement, utility bill, or land registration) where the business will be located. digitalconsultingventures.com+1
- Any special agreements (shareholder agreement, if there are multiple partners) and other legal forms. Dipen Company+1
🖥 Step 3: Submit application online via OCR portal
- Visit the OCR’s online registration portal (for example: https://application.ocr.gov.np/). application.ocr.gov.np+1
- Create a user account if you don’t have one. application.ocr.gov.np+1
- Fill out the registration form: upload your MOA, AOA, identity documents, address proofs, and other required attachments. Company Sewa+1
- Pay the registration fee (fee depends on your authorised capital) and submit. digitalconsultingventures.com+1
🎉 Step 4: Wait for approval & get the Certificate
- The OCR will review your submitted documents. If everything is correct, they approve registration and issue the Company Registration Certificate. Bhandari Law and Partners+1
- Once you get the certificate, your company becomes a legal entity.
🔍 Step 5: Post-registration compliance
After registration, there are a few important “next steps”:
- Register for a PAN (Permanent Account Number) with the Inland Revenue Department for tax purposes. Company Sewa+1
- If your turnover will exceed the threshold or you’ll deal in VAT-applicable goods/services, register for VAT. Company Sewa+1
- Open a business bank account using the registration certificate and PAN. Dipen Company
- Make sure the company stamp, seals, and all local registrations (municipality/ward) are handled. Dipen Company+1
💡 Tips especially for your context
Since you mentioned you’ll be building content-creation, digital t-shirt business, travel channel and a tech agency:
- When choosing the company name & draft MOA/AOA, include flexible business objectives (so you can operate content creation, tech services, e-commerce t-shirts, etc) rather than very narrow scope.
- Because your business may evolve, ensure your authorised capital is enough to give you room for growth.
- Keep all digital and scanned copies of documents safely (you’re already tech-savvy) so you can easily retrieve them later.
- Since you’re balancing college, business and content creation, delegate or outsource parts of the registration (legal, paperwork) so you can focus on building your skills and brand.
- Make sure the registered address you use is reliable — since you plan content creation and digital business, you might not need heavy physical set-up, but you must comply legally.
- Given you’ll expand into other domains (agency, travel, tech), consider engaging a legal advisor early to ensure your registration structure fits future plans.
