Startup consulting in Nepal
The mistakes that cost startups most are made in the first few months: the wrong structure, an informal shareholding, books no investor can read. We help founders get the foundations right from registration to the first raise, so the numbers support the story when it matters.
Who this is for
- First-time founders registering a company in Nepal
- Startups preparing to raise from angels, funds or banks
- Foreign founders building a team or entity in Nepal
- Early-stage businesses whose books have fallen behind
What it includes
- 01
Structure and registration
The right entity, share structure and registration, done so it still works when investors arrive.
- 02
Cap table and founder equity
A clear record of who owns what, with the financial effect of each dilution shown before it happens.
- 03
Tax and VAT setup
PAN, VAT where needed, TDS on salaries and vendors, and a compliance calendar from month one.
- 04
Financial model
Unit economics, runway and a three-year forecast built on assumptions you can defend.
- 05
Investor-ready financials
Clean books and reporting that hold up to an investor's due diligence questions.
- 06
Ongoing compliance
Monthly bookkeeping and filings handled, so founders spend their time on the business.
How it works
- 01
Founder conversation
What you are building, who is involved and when you expect to raise.
- 02
Set up right
Structure, registration, tax and books established together.
- 03
Build the model
Unit economics and the forecast behind your plan and your ask.
- 04
Raise-ready
Financials and data prepared for investor or bank conversations.
How we price this work
There is no standard price list, because the fee follows the scope and the depth of the work. We agree both in writing before anything starts.
- ScopeWhat is included, and what is not, set out in plain terms.
- Volume and condition of recordsClean, current books cost less to work from than a backlog.
- Depth and complexityA review is different from a full defence, filing or build.
- DeadlineWork against a fixed date, such as a reply to the IRD, is planned around it.
One-off work is quoted as a fixed fee for a defined scope. Ongoing work is a monthly retainer. The first 30-minute call is free, and you leave it with an indication of the cost and the time involved, even if you decide not to hire us. Book a free call.
Questions people ask
When should a startup register a company?
Before taking money from anyone other than the founders, hiring staff or signing significant contracts. Registering early also puts founder ownership on record before value is created.
Do you draft shareholder agreements?
We advise on the financial side, such as valuation, dilution and vesting economics, and work alongside your lawyer, who drafts the agreement.
Do we need audited accounts to raise money?
Most investors and banks expect financial statements prepared to a recognised standard, and companies in Nepal need audited accounts. We prepare the books and schedules so the audit by your appointed auditor goes smoothly.
