Business Articles of Incorporation are essential documents required when establishing a new company in Pakistan under the Companies Act 2017. This document must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and serves as the founding charter that defines the company's legal existence, purpose, and operational framework. It includes crucial information about the company's structure, including share capital, management rights, voting procedures, and corporate governance mechanisms. The Articles become binding upon registration and govern the relationship between the company and its stakeholders. Any company seeking to incorporate in Pakistan must ensure their Articles comply with local regulations and obtain SECP approval before commencing operations.
