Nepal: Corporate and Company Law

An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is the process through which a company offers its shares to the general public for the first time. IPO registration in Nepal refers to the legal and regulatory procedure that a company must complete before issuing shares to the public. The process is regulated by the Securities Act, 2063, the Companies Act, 2063, and regulations issued by the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON). IPO registration is designed to ensure transparency, investor protection, disclosure of material information, and compliance with capital market requirements. Before a company can issue shares to the public, it must obtain approval from SEBON and satisfy various legal, financial, and procedural requirements.
