Corporate secretarial

Three packages, priced in full.

Each price is for a company with one director, and every additional director is added at the package's own published rate. There is nothing else to find out later.

Incorporation packages

Choose how much of the paperwork you want done for you.

All three get the company incorporated, registered for tax and ready to open a bank account, with the first year's retainer included. The difference is how complete the statutory record is on day one.

The firm's fee sheet words this line differently between packages: Form 18 and Form 19 are specified as certified copies on Advanced and as plain copies on Premium. The difference is flagged rather than smoothed over. Ask us which applies to your filing and we will confirm it in writing.

What happens

Four steps from idea to bank account.

Every package runs the same sequence. The difference is only in what you are holding at the end of it.

  1. 1

    Tell us what you are setting up

    What the company will do, and how many directors it will have. That is enough to say which package fits and what it will cost.

    You, by phone or e-mail

  2. 2

    We clear the name

    Name approval is the first filing and the first thing that can come back. It is in all three packages.

    The firm, with the Registrar of Companies

  3. 3

    We incorporate and register

    Form 1 and the Articles are filed, the Certificate of Incorporation is issued, the seals are made, the TIN certificate is obtained and the BO forms go in.

    The firm

  4. 4

    You open the bank account and start trading

    The resolutions to open the account and enable online banking are in every package. From the second year we file your Form 15 on the annual retainer.

    You, with our resolutions in hand

What it will cost

Price your incorporation before you call.

Pick a package, set the number of directors, and add anything else you will need on day one. The figures are the firm's published fee structure, not a range.

Package
Directors

Drag, or use the arrow keys. The first director is in the package price; each one after that is added at the package's own rate.

Also needed

Estimated one-time cost

LKR 36,000

Basic package, one director.

  • Basic package, one director LKR 36,000

From the second year, the annual retainer is LKR 15,000, charged when your Form 15 is filed. The first year is already in every package above.

This is an estimate, not a quotation. The package prices and the per-director rates are exact and come from the firm's fee structure. The website and POS lines are starting prices and depend on scope. Government charges on additional filings are separate. Tell us what you are setting up and you get the real figure in writing before any work begins.

Afterwards

What is charged once the company exists.

The first year retainer is inside all three packages. These are the things that can be billed after that, each at a published rate.

Name approval is the first filing, and the first thing that can come back. Send the name you want and the number of directors, and we will tell you exactly what happens next.
