    How do I search the business registry in Pakistan?

    The Pakistan business registry is operated by SECP (Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan). It covers Private Limited (Pvt) Ltd, Public Limited. Search by business name to find the registered entity behind a trading name — free, no signup.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Search the trading name you were given

      Start with the name on the invoice, website or contract. It is often a trading name rather than the registered legal name.

    2. 2

      Identify the legal entity behind it

      SECP (Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan) records the legal entity. Matching a trading name to its registered entity is the whole point of a registry search — the two are frequently different.

    3. 3

      Check the entity type

      Pakistan recognises Private Limited (Pvt) Ltd, Public Limited. Entity type determines liability and who is legally responsible, so it matters before you contract.

    4. 4

      Note what the registry does not cover

      Sole traders and unregistered activity may not appear at all. An absent record is not automatically proof of fraud — it can simply mean the business is not required to register.
