Business Setup in Bangladesh
End-to-end setup and regulatory support — structuring, registration, licensing and post-setup compliance.
What it is
Establishing a business in Bangladesh generally involves business structuring, company registration, tax and VAT registration, trade licensing, regulatory approvals, banking, foreign-investment compliance, employment and operational permits. We provide end-to-end support across all of it, so nothing is discovered too late.
What this covers
Business Structuring
Selecting the appropriate legal and ownership structure for the intended business.
Regulatory Roadmap
Identifying every authority, approval, document, fee and timeline that will apply.
Company & Licensing Support
Incorporation, trade licence, TIN, VAT and sector-specific registrations.
Investment & Foreign-Exchange Compliance
BIDA, Bangladesh Bank and repatriation-related matters.
Tax & Compliance Advisory
Tax planning, VAT, customs and statutory compliance from the outset.
Premises & Operational Support
Due diligence on land or premises and the local approvals the operation requires.
Challenges we address
Multiple regulatory authorities
Overlapping requirements across several authorities, resolved into a single roadmap.
Complex approvals and licensing
Approvals that are time-consuming and easy to sequence wrongly.
Tax, VAT and customs compliance
Obligations that must be structured before they are incurred.
Foreign investment & exchange rules
Foreign-investment and foreign-exchange regulations governing capital and repatriation.
