How to Setup a Company in Bangladesh – Step-by-Step Guide

Setting up a company in Bangladesh is straightforward with the right guidance. Whether you're a local entrepreneur or a foreign investor, this guide explains how to setup a company in Bangladesh smoothly and legally.

At YKG Global, we help you every step of the way — from approvals to bank accounts and legal compliance.

Step 1: Choose a Legal Structure

Select the right business type depending on your investment goals:

• Private Limited Company – Most preferred for startups and SMEs

• Public Limited Company – For large enterprises or IPO plans

• Branch Office / Liaison Office – For foreign companies expanding

• Sole Proprietorship / Partnership – Low-cost options for local businesses

Step 2: Name Clearance from RJSC

Before incorporation, reserve your company name through the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies (RJSC). We help ensure your proposed name meets all government requirements.

Step 3: Draft MoA & AoA

Prepare the Memorandum and Articles of Association in line with your business activities. These documents define your company’s scope, objectives, and internal rules.

YKG Global provides professionally drafted, legally compliant MoA & AoA tailored to your needs.

Step 4: Collect Required Documents

You'll need:

• Company name clearance certificate

• MoA and AoA

• Director/shareholder ID proof (Passport/NID)

• Registered address proof

• Bank reference (for foreign shareholders)

• Investment details (if applicable)

Step 5: File Incorporation with RJSC

Once the documents are ready, file them with the RJSC. Upon approval, you’ll receive:

• Certificate of Incorporation

• Company Registration Number

• Digital signature (if applicable)

Step 6: Open Corporate Bank Account

Open a bank account in the company’s name to facilitate business transactions. Foreign investors must remit the paid-up capital as part of incorporation requirements.

Step 7: Register with BIDA (For Foreigners)

If you're a foreign investor, registration with Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) is essential. This enables foreign remittance, visas, and project approvals.

We handle BIDA registration, documentation, and local coordination on your behalf.

Step 8: Obtain Trade License & Tax Numbers

Get the following post-incorporation registrations:

• Trade License from the City Corporation

• TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number)

• VAT (BIN) Registration

• Import/Export License (if applicable)

YKG Global ensures your business meets all legal, tax, and regulatory obligations.

Timeframe to Setup a Company

The full company setup process typically takes 7 to 12 business days, depending on the type of company and documentation provided.

After registration, we help you maintain annual compliance:

• Financial statement preparation

• Annual return filings to RJSC

• Tax and VAT returns
