When thinking about establishing a new business in Bangladesh or moving your current one there, keep in mind that the majority of Bangladeshi businesses are established as private limited liability corporations (commonly known as private limited companies).
You should be aware that a One Person Company provision exists (OPC in short). However, due to several limitations, we do not suggest that our clients create an OPC.
In the first nine months of 2021, a record-breaking 1,396,800 applications to create new firms expected to recruit people have been submitted, which is a 41% increase over the same period in 2019. (including non employers, all business applications are up by 58%).
The rate is even 22% higher than the extraordinary amount filed up through September 2020, when over 1.1 million applications had been totaled amid an unanticipated surge in potential firm formation.
