Company registration in Bangladesh is a crucial legal step for any entrepreneur or business owner who wants to establish a legitimate and structured business presence in the country. Under the Companies Act 1994, all business entities must be registered with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC), which is the main regulatory authority responsible for incorporating and maintaining company records in Bangladesh. The process typically begins with obtaining name clearance for the proposed company name, followed by preparing key constitutional documents such as the Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA), which define the company’s objectives, ownership structure, and internal management rules. After that, shareholders are required to open a temporary bank account and deposit the paid-up capital, which is then verified through an encashment certificate. The application is then submitted online through the RJSC portal.
