IPO & Capital Market Services in Bangladesh

Going public is a significant and demanding undertaking that requires careful preparation across finance, governance and regulatory compliance. We help organisations structure the process from the outset, drawing on specialists in securities regulation and working alongside investment banks to position the offering for success.

Our support encompasses corporate governance advice, transparent risk management, financial statement audits by reporting accountants, and the drafting and negotiation of the contracts involved.

A typical IPO begins with assembling an IPO team that includes securities regulation experts, followed by the preparation of a company prospectus detailing financial performance and organisational information. Financial statements are then audited to verify their accuracy.

The prospectus is submitted to the regulator and an offering date is set, with reporting prepared to International Financial Reporting Standards and timelines managed to meet exchange requirements.

Bangladesh's capital market is overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which makes and enforces rules, monitors compliance and develops the market, with shares traded on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and the Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE).

Though modest by Asian standards, the market is among the larger ones in South Asia, offering a meaningful route for well-prepared companies to raise capital.
