Questions

How do I book a consultation?

Use the form or call us. Tell us briefly what you need and we'll arrange a time with the right person.

What documents do I need to register a company in Sri Lanka?

Proposed company names, the business activity, identity documents and addresses of the directors, shareholders and company secretary, the registered office address and the planned shareholding. Foreign shareholders may need more. See company registration for the full list.

Can I register a company online?

The Registrar of Companies runs an online system, eROC, for most company registrations and filings. We prepare and file through it for you.

What is a title search?

A check of the Land Registry records to trace who has owned the property and whether there are mortgages or other registered interests. A title search is normally done before any money is paid. Ask us about the property.
