Company formation is the legal process of registering a new company with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC) in Bangladesh under the Companies Act 1994. HRBD handles company formation for local and foreign founders, from name clearance and the memorandum and articles to RJSC registration and the tax and licence steps that follow.
HRBD forms companies across Bangladesh for local founders and foreign investors, from a private limited company or one-person company to a foreign-owned subsidiary, branch or liaison office. We obtain name clearance from the RJSC, draft your memorandum and articles to the Companies Act 1994, file the registration and see your certificate of incorporation through, then arrange the TIN, trade licence and VAT/BIN so your company is ready to trade. For foreign investment we also register the company with BIDA, and we hand off cleanly into the accounting and payroll your new company needs from day one.
Whether you are a local entrepreneur, a foreign investor or a company opening a presence in Bangladesh, HRBD registers the right entity for you and keeps it consistent with the accounting and tax setup your new company needs.
A private limited or one-person company registered with the RJSC under the Companies Act 1994.
A subsidiary with up to 100% ownership in most sectors, registered with BIDA.
A branch, liaison or representative office set up with BIDA permission.
Company formation is the legal process of registering a new company with the RJSC in Bangladesh under the Companies Act 1994. HRBD handles it end to end.
Most businesses register a private limited company; a single founder can use a one-person company, and foreign firms often use a subsidiary or branch. HRBD advises the right fit.
It depends on name clearance, your documents and the RJSC queue. HRBD prepares everything correctly the first time so filing is not held up, and keeps you updated at each step.
Yes. Bangladesh allows up to 100% foreign ownership in most sectors. HRBD sets up the company and registers the investment with BIDA.
A one person company (OPC) has a single member and was introduced by the Companies (Amendment) Act 2020. HRBD checks whether your business qualifies and registers it.
Foreign investment and branch or liaison offices are registered with BIDA. HRBD handles the BIDA registration alongside the RJSC incorporation.
After the certificate of incorporation you need a TIN, a trade licence and, where it applies, VAT/BIN registration. HRBD arranges these so you can start trading.
Your information is handled under written terms and strict confidentiality, used only for your incorporation and shared only with you.
Choosing HRBD for company formation means one team that knows how the RJSC, BIDA and NBR work and files your company right the first time, so a wrong form or a missed step does not send you back to the start. We own your incorporation from name clearance to certificate, keep your plans confidential, and hand straight into the accounting, tax and payroll your company needs, so the business you register is ready to run rather than a certificate that still leaves every next step to you.
When you contact HRBD, we confirm the entity that fits your plans and set a start point with no obligation. From there we obtain name clearance, draft your documents, file with the RJSC and arrange the tax and licence steps that follow. You keep one point of contact, and the setup sits alongside your tax and VAT registration.
