Register your one-owner business with FBR, get a business NTN and the documents banks, suppliers and clients ask for.
A sole proprietorship is a business owned and run by one person. It is the most common structure for shops, traders, freelancers and small service businesses in Pakistan because it is quick to set up and simple to manage. The business and the owner are legally the same person, so income is taxed in the owner’s own return.
To operate professionally you usually need a business NTN on FBR, a business name in your IRIS profile, and supporting documents for opening a business bank account. We register the business correctly and advise you on any local or sector-specific registrations.

Business income is declared in the owner’s individual income tax return. Keeping business and personal finances separate makes filing much easier.
Depending on your business, you may also need sales tax, PRA, local municipal or professional registrations. We check what applies to you.
