SMC Kya Hai — Single Member Company Explained
Companies Act 2017 se pehle Pakistan mein company banane ke liye minimum do members chahiye hote thay. SMC iss requirement ko khatam karta hai — ek hi banda 100% shares hold kar sakta hai, sole director bhi ban sakta hai, aur phir bhi corporate limited liability protection milti hai jaisay normal Pvt Ltd mein milti hai.
- Sirf ek shareholder — koi partner ya co-founder zaroori nahi
- Limited liability — personal assets business liabilities se protected hain
- Separate legal entity — company khud contracts, bank accounts, property hold kar sakti hai
- Corporate credibility — clients, banks, aur investors ke saamne zyada trust

Nominee Director — Kyun Zaroori Hai
Nominee director ka role: Kyunke SMC mein sirf ek hi member hota hai, SECP requirement hai ke ek nominee declare kiya jaye — agar sole member ka intiqal ho jaye ya wo incapacitated ho jaye, nominee company ko legally continue chala sakta hai jab tak proper transfer na ho. Nominee normal operations mein involve nahi hota — sirf ek legal safeguard hai.
