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
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
Estimated one-time cost
LKR 36,000
Basic package, one director.
Then, every month
LKR 0
Billed monthly, separately from the setup.
- 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.
- Annual retainer, from the second year Charged at the time of filing Form 15. The first year is included in every package above.
- LKR 15,000
- Additional forms filed with the DRC Plus the government charges for that form.
- LKR 2,500 per form
- Board resolutions after the initial set The resolutions to open the bank account are already in every package.
- LKR 2,500 per resolution
- A secretary attending your board meeting Charged per meeting attended.
- LKR 5,000 virtually, LKR 7,500 in person
Systems for day one
Two things a new company usually needs the week it starts trading. Both are starting prices.
- Website development
- from LKR 65,000
- POS system, cloud based
- from LKR 4,500 / month
- POS system, offline
- from LKR 45,000
Year two onwards
The annual retainer is LKR 15,000, charged when your Form 15 is filed. It is the only thing that recurs automatically.
