About this service

Bangladesh allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, lets you repatriate profits after tax, and runs investor services through one agency. Few markets of 170 million people are this open — and few are this easy to enter incorrectly.

WHAT I GUIDE YOU THROUGH

Entry structure: wholly-owned subsidiary, joint venture, or branch office — chosen for your case, not by default
Company incorporation with foreign shareholders (RJSC), with the extra documents foreign ownership triggers
BIDA registration — the one-stop agency for industrial and service ventures outside the EPZs
Work permits and investor visas for you and expatriate staff
Banking, inward remittance evidence, and the paper trail that makes later repatriation smooth

THE KEY NUMBERS (accurate as of August 2026)

100% foreign ownership permitted in most sectors; restricted areas include arms, atomic energy, and forest plantation
US$ 50,000 minimum inward investment if the company will employ expatriates who need work permits
US$ 50,000 minimum inward remittance to establish a branch office
Dividends, capital gains, and sale proceeds are repatriable after applicable taxes
Standard incorporation costs apply on top: RJSC name clearance BDT 200, registration + stamp duty from ~BDT 15,000-20,000, trade license BDT 5,000-25,000

Frequently asked questions

Can a foreigner own 100% of a Bangladeshi company?+

Yes, in most sectors — no local partner required. Restricted areas include arms, atomic energy, and forest plantation; part of the Basic package is confirming your sector is clear.

What is the $50,000 requirement exactly?+

If your company will employ expatriates needing work permits, at least US$50,000 must arrive as documented inward investment. A branch office likewise requires US$50,000 inward remittance. Purely local-staffed subsidiaries have no such minimum.

Can I take profits out?+

Yes — dividends, capital gains, and sale proceeds are repatriable after applicable taxes, provided the money came in through documented banking channels. That paper trail is exactly what the Standard package builds.
