Foreign Company Registration in Bangladesh โ€” Premium Legal Solutions

Foreign company registration in Bangladesh can give international investors a structured route into a growing South Asian market. The appropriate route depends on the business model, ownership structure, activities and approvals required.

Our support covers the practical journey from initial planning and document preparation through RJSC registration and relevant post-registration requirements. For branch or liaison office structures, additional approval and regulatory considerations may apply.

Why consider Bangladesh for foreign investment?

  • Foreign equity: foreign ownership may be available in many sectors, subject to applicable restrictions and approvals.
  • Strategic location: Bangladesh provides access to South and Southeast Asian markets.
  • Workforce: a large, cost-competitive labour market supports many business models.
  • Investment incentives: eligible businesses may benefit from sector-specific incentives and facilities.

How the registration process works

  1. Name clearance and structure planning.
  2. Preparation of incorporation and supporting documents.
  3. Capital and banking coordination where applicable.
  4. RJSC submission and registration.
  5. Certificate of Incorporation and corporate documentation.
  6. BIDA approval where required for the chosen structure.
  7. Post-registration support such as trade licence, TIN, VAT and banking.

Yes โ€” 100% foreign directors are permitted for most company structures in Bangladesh.
