1) The registration of a public ltd company and private limited company is the biggest hurdle to start

a high scale business in Pakistan. Registration is bounded by hundreds of requirements mentioned in


law (Register under the Companies ordinance 2017)

In terms of international standards, the criteria for doing business in any country are determined
by the ease and the cost of doing business. In terms of cost of doing business in Pakistan, the
country ranks at a staggering low of 72 out of 108 based on the Doing Business Report 2020 by
the World Bank. The companies’ ordinance of Pakistan is filled with a set of complex laws all
of which require a lengthy amount of paper works and other documents. All companies have to
file their financial accounts, name all their directors, and mention every single detail of
their annual general meetings and submit it to the securities and exchange commission of
Pakistan (SECP). This entire ends up being a big hassle for new entrepreneurs and most of the
time, foreign businessmen look for other countries to invest in.
2) There should be relaxation if someone is bringing investments in country and providing numerous
job opportunities for the public

Despite improvements on Ease of Doing Business (EODB) index, massive, costly and time-
consuming business regulations at the federal, provincial and local level still appear to be the
major stumbling block in the way of attracting the foreign direct investment (FDIs) and
businesses to flourish. To achieve the substantial FDI inflows and help thrive the businesses,
especially the small enterprises, the government needs to rationalize the excessive business
regulations. There are the systemic, institutional and procedural (SIP) challenges of business
regulation. At institutional level, there are more than 60 regulatory agencies with heavy
compliance coupled with a lack of transparency and poor feedback mechanism. At procedural
level, there is weak automation of business processes and mostly business-related procedures are
performed manually, which increase uncertainty in trade and investment operations.

Those challenges are significantly undermining the FDI inflows and were not allowing more
cities to become hubs of growth and job creation.
3) Ipo Pakistan is operated by copyright act 1976. Getting a trademark in Pakistan is an actual
hustle for a businessman. All the goodwill lies in the trademark and it can be stolen very easily in
Pakistan due to corruption and difficulty in the law.

The intellectual property laws have a limited scope in Pakistan in the sense that the real victim of
the immoral act of infringement is public and masses in general. It has been observed that the
dealers as well as retailers are profit oriented in their approach business. They easily join hands
with the imitators to grab more profit margin in Trade. This unholy alliance and conclusiveness
of the imitator and dealer, retailer work always to the detriment of the masses. It is unfortunate
that our law makers have blindly followed the tradition of unfair Trade practice to the extent of
proprietor and the violator.
4) It should be easy so everyone can easily take what is right belongs to them
