Global Professional Networks
We Exist to Help Foreign Investors Enter Bangladesh
Khan Akber & Co. (KAC) Chartered Accountants is a registered audit and next-generation accounting firm. We’re part of Allinial Global, but that’s not why startups and tech companies trust us.
You came here because setting up a business entity in Bangladesh feels like navigating a system designed to confuse. The legal requirements shift. The necessary documents multiply. The registration procedure demands precision you don’t have time for.
We built KAC with one mission: give foreign companies a smooth market entry into Bangladesh. You get more than company formation. You get someone who knows the Memorandum of Association inside out, who has personal relationships at RJSC and BIDA, and who won’t let bureaucracy slow your timeline.
Our Mission
Help foreign entities establish and operate in Bangladesh without legal roadblocks or compliance surprises. We want you trading, hiring, and growing — not stuck in government offices.
Our Expertise
Twelve years serving Foreign Direct Investment means we’ve done this hundreds of times. Private limited company registration, subsidiary company setup, branch office approval through BIDA — we know every step.
Our Values
Transparency. Speed. Reliability. You’ll never wonder where your application stands. We give you direct answers, realistic timelines, and we deliver what we promise when we promise it.
Choose the Right Business Structure for Your Goals
Whether you’re testing the market or committing capital, the business structure you pick affects everything — ownership rights, commercial activities, tax obligations, and how fast you can move.
Private Limited Company
Full commercial operations with local or foreign ownership.
You’re here to trade, hire employees, invoice customers, and build something that scales. This is the most common business entity for foreign investors committed to doing business in Bangladesh.
- 100% foreign ownership or joint venture (sector rules apply)
- Minimum 2 directors and 2–50 shareholders
- RJSC incorporation, TIN, VAT/BIN, bank account setup
- Full drafting of MoA/AoA and all registrar filings handled
Subsidiary Company
A Bangladesh-incorporated company owned by your foreign parent.
You want the parent company to maintain control, but you need a local legal presence to sign contracts, hire staff, and operate independently in Bangladesh.
- Separate legal personality from the parent company
- 100% foreign ownership permitted in most sectors
- RJSC incorporation with full company registration
- Sector-specific licenses and compliance where needed
Branch Office
Operate as an extension of your overseas company under BIDA approval.
You’re executing specific projects, providing services, or exploring market research before committing to a full subsidiary company. You need local invoicing but don’t want a separate legal entity.
- BIDA permission for defined activities
- Not a separate legal entity; parent remains liable
- Local tax setup plus VAT/BIN registration
- Bank account, work permits, and office setup support
Liaison Office
Non-commercial presence for research and coordination.
You’re sourcing raw materials, running due diligence on suppliers, or building relationships. You’re not selling products or services in Bangladesh — you’re observing and coordinating.
- BIDA approval for representation activities only
- No local income; expenses funded by parent remittances
- VAT/BIN registration and routine compliance managed
- Office, staffing, visa recommendations and renewals
Five Steps from Decision to Operation
Most foreign companies think registration in Bangladesh takes six months. With the right support and expertise, you’re operational in weeks.
Choose Your Entry Route
Select a private limited company, subsidiary company, branch office, or liaison office based on your goals. We outline foreign ownership rules, allowed commercial activities, realistic timeline, minimum capital requirements, and setup costs. You decide with full information.
Reserve Company Name and Register
We handle RJSC name clearance, draft your Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, and complete the incorporation process. For branch and liaison offices, we first secure BIDA approval and file with Bangladesh Bank.
Open Bank Account & Bring in Capital
We manage KYC, business bank account setup, and capital remittance where required. If you’re bringing foreign investment, we ensure encashment certificates are issued correctly and online banking is ready before you need it.
Get Licenses & Tax IDs
We obtain your Trade License, e-TIN (Tax Identification Number), VAT BIN, and activate e-Mushak for VAT compliance. For import/export, we add IRC/ERC and any required sector permits. No bureaucratic surprises.
Go Live & Stay Compliant
We set up payroll, draft employment contracts, then handle ongoing filings — VAT returns, corporate tax, RJSC annual returns, license renewals, and work permits/visas for foreign nationals. You focus on growing your business.

What Foreign Investors Say
“We tried registering our subsidiary company ourselves. After three months of confusion with RJSC, we hired Khan Akber. They had our Certificate of Incorporation in four weeks. Should have called them first.”

“Setting up our liaison office meant dealing with BIDA, RJSC, and Bangladesh Bank. I’m grateful we had someone who knew the registration procedure and could navigate these agencies without us wasting time.”
“Khan Akber handled our private limited company registration with impressive efficiency. Their knowledge of foreign ownership rules and BIDA procedures saved us months of time.”
“Setting up our branch office was seamless with KAC. They managed all documentation, BIDA approvals, and tax registrations. Their post-setup support with VAT compliance has been invaluable.”
