AOP & Company Registration
Structure your business correctly from the start — with the right legal and tax entity.
Overview
An Association of Persons (AOP) is the most common unincorporated business structure in Pakistan, covering partnerships and joint ventures. Choosing between an AOP and a private limited company has significant implications for tax rates, liability, and financing. Spinzer Law Firm advises on the optimal structure and handles the complete registration process — covering both FBR tax registration and any applicable corporate or deed requirements.
Why This Matters
The entity type you choose determines your tax rate, personal liability exposure, ability to take on partners or investors, and access to formal financing. An incorrectly structured entity is costly to unwind.
Scope of Work

- Partnership deed / AOP agreement drafting
- FBR NTN registration for the AOP or company
