THE REALITY

Why Foreign Investors Struggle with
Company Registration in Bangladesh

You’ve identified Bangladesh as your next market. The growth potential is real — 8%+ GDP growth, 170 million consumers, competitive labor costs. But setting up a Private Limited Company here? That’s where things get complicated.

Confusing Documentation

Memorandum of Association, Articles of Association, Form I, Form VI, Form IX — the paperwork feels endless. One mistake delays everything.

Multiple Government Agencies

RJSC for registration. NBR for tax. City Corporation for trade license. Bangladesh Bank for capital remittance. Each has its own rules.

Unpredictable Timelines

What should take weeks stretches into months. Your business plan sits idle while you chase approvals and corrections.

Language & Process Barriers

Government portals in Bengali. Local procedures that change without notice. Requirements that differ from what you’ve read online.

Hidden Compliance Requirements

VAT registration, e-TIN certificates, trade license renewals — requirements that surface only after you’ve started the process.

The Real Cost of Getting It Wrong

Applications rejected for minor errors. Bank accounts frozen due to incorrect documentation. 6+ months lost while competitors enter the market.

THE SOLUTION

Your Private Limited Company.
Registered Right.

We know every step in the company formation process. Which RJSC officer handles foreign ownership cases. Which Bangladesh Bank branch processes Encashment Certificates fastest. How the National Board of Revenue (NBR) wants VAT Registration Certificate applications formatted.
