Cost & Timeline of Company Registration in Bangladesh

The overall cost of company registration in Bangladesh depends on your authorized capital, company type, and whether foreign shareholders are involved. Government fees (RJSC registration fee, stamp duty, and name clearance fee) are calculated based on your declared capital, while professional service fees cover document drafting, filing, and follow-up. Most straightforward private limited company registrations are completed in 7-14 working days, while foreign or joint venture structures involving BIDA approval can take slightly longer.

Company Registration vs. Trade License in Bangladesh

A common point of confusion is the difference between company registration and a trade license. Company registration with RJSC creates your legal corporate entity — this is what establishes your company as a distinct legal person under the Companies Act 1994. A trade license, by contrast, is issued separately by the local City Corporation or Union Parishad and permits you to conduct a specific business activity at a specific address. Both are legally required to operate a business in Bangladesh, and we assist with both as part of our full-service company registration in Bangladesh package.

Beyond initial company registration in Bangladesh, we offer annual compliance, share transfer, share allotment, company winding up, Schedule X submission, society registration, and foundation registration services — so your business stays compliant well beyond incorporation day. Our business registration solutions are designed to save you time and ensure ongoing legal compliance with RJSC requirements.
