Foreign investment generally requires an approved investment structure, sector eligibility review, registration and regulatory approvals. The exact route depends on the investment size, sector and proposed Nepal entity.
What legal support does a new company in Nepal need?+
A new company commonly needs incorporation documents, shareholder arrangements, tax and licensing review, employment documentation, contracts and a continuing compliance calendar.
