Foreign Company Registration in Bangladesh

Foreign Company Registration in Bangladesh – Easy & Trusted! Segunbagicha Consultancy handles registration to compliance for foreign investors today!

Bangladesh offers excellent opportunities for foreign investment, especially in manufacturing, IT, energy, and export-oriented sectors.
To operate legally, a foreign investor or entity must register their business with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC) and comply with BIDA (Bangladesh Investment Development Authority) and NBR requirements.
At Segunbagicha Consultancy, we provide complete Foreign Company Registration services — from documentation and registration to tax and banking compliance.

Foreign investors can choose from several legal structures:

  1. Private Limited Company (most common)

    • 100% foreign or joint venture ownership allowed.

    • Separate legal entity.

  2. Branch Office

    • Operates as an extension of the parent company.

    • Requires BIDA approval and RJSC registration.
