Things to Consider Registering a Tech Company
Just because you can start an IT company, doesn’t mean you should. If you are just looking to try out, you can start with a business PAN (By registering a Firm) or freelancing. However, if you wish to grow your business, have a team of developers/designers, and carry out multiple processes, you should register an IT company.
Running a company is somewhat risky for newbies or someone who hasn’t been involved in managerial roles previously. Running a company requires specific skills and a lot of hard work. If you are aware of the risks, then starting a company is a great idea. Most IT entrepreneurs realize their mistakes too late. There is some degree of management skill needed to run a company, as you may not or could not hire a manager to smooth out things. Because most IT companies fail (like most of the other startups), you might be wary about the idea of starting your own IT company. However, with good planning, implementation and proper management, you can run a successful IT business and scale it easily.
To start an Information Technology company, you need to register a company at OCR Nepal. In the Article of Association, you need to specify clearly the objectives related to the IT company.
