Business Licensing & Registration Services in Bangladesh

We handle more than two dozen licence and registration types for clients across Bangladesh, from the foundational trade licence, TIN and VAT registration through to import and export registration, fire and factory licences, environmental clearance, bonded warehousing, work permits for foreign nationals, and intellectual-property registrations such as patents, trademarks, designs and copyright.

Because each permit involves a different authority, fee schedule and document set, we coordinate the entire programme on your behalf and sequence applications in the right order, so dependencies like an existing trade licence or TIN are in place before the next certificate is filed.

Unless you intend to operate as a sole proprietorship, you will generally need to register a partnership or a company before most licences can be issued. We advise on the appropriate structure and complete formation so your subsequent licence applications proceed without avoidable delays.

Licences in Bangladesh are issued by a range of bodies, including the National Board of Revenue (NBR), the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), the Chief Controller of Imports & Exports, Fire Service and Civil Defence, the Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments, the Department of Environment, and local City Corporations, municipalities and union parishads. Our team liaises directly with each office and tracks every application through to issuance.
