HRBD runs due diligence for investors and acquirers across Bangladesh, from verifying a target’s finances and RJSC records to reviewing its contracts, tax position and market. Whether you are buying a company, taking a stake or vetting a partner, we investigate the target independently, confirm the numbers against RJSC filings, the Companies Act 1994 and NBR records, and report the risks in plain terms so you can price the deal, structure the protections you need, and walk away if the target does not hold up. We also handle the audit and corporate tax work the same transaction needs.

How is the information handled?

Choosing HRBD for due diligence means one team that knows where Bangladeshi company, tax and RJSC records sit and how to read what they show. We investigate independently, keep your interest and the target confidential, and report the risks as we find them rather than burying them, so you can walk into a deal knowing exactly what you are buying and what it is worth before you sign or transfer any money. Because the same team also handles the accounting, audit and tax behind the deal, the picture we give you is joined up rather than a set of disconnected reports that leave the hardest questions to you.
