Entity Formation

Entity Formation & Company Incorporation in Bangladesh

Choosing the right corporate vehicle is the foundation of a successful venture in Bangladesh. FM Consulting International advises local entrepreneurs and foreign investors on the most suitable structure for their objectives and manages the entire incorporation process from name clearance to the issuance of the certificate of incorporation. Whether you intend to trade through a limited company, partner with a local sponsor under a joint venture, or establish a representative presence, our team ensures full compliance with the Companies Act 1994 and the relevant regulatory authorities.

Structures We Help You Establish

We register every principal form of business entity recognised in Bangladesh. A private limited company is a separate legal person in which shareholders' liability is confined to the value of the shares they hold, making it the preferred vehicle for most enterprises. A public limited company suits larger ventures, can raise capital from the public, and may list on a stock exchange. A joint venture brings foreign and Bangladeshi partners together, particularly in sectors where local participation is required.

For foreign companies seeking a presence without forming a domestic subsidiary, a liaison office provides a non-trading communication channel, while a branch office permits commercial activity under approval from the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA).

Regulators and Governing Law

Company incorporation in Bangladesh is administered by the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC) under the Companies Act 1994. Foreign-owned structures such as liaison and branch offices additionally require authorisation from BIDA, and foreign investment is protected under the Foreign Private Investment (Promotion and Protection) Act 1980. We manage each filing and approval on your behalf and keep you informed at every stage.

How We Work With You

The right structure depends on your commercial goals, ownership pattern, and the sector in which you intend to operate. We begin with a consultation to understand your needs, recommend the appropriate entity, and then handle the documentation, statutory filings, and post-registration formalities so that your business is ready to commence operations without delay.
