You can find experienced company registration lawyers in key commercial zones including Saheb Bazar, Laxmipur, Binodpur, Sopura, and Katakhali.

Company registration in Rajshahi follows the same national procedure governed by the Companies Act 1994 and administered by the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC). The RJSC has a regional office in Rajshahi that processes filings for businesses across the Rajshahi Division. Key steps include:

• Step 1 – Name Clearance: Apply for a unique company name via the RJSC online portal. Processing takes 1–2 working days; fee is approximately BDT 600.
• Step 2 – Draft MOA & AOA: Prepare the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association defining business objectives, share capital, and governance structure.
• Step 3 – Open Temporary Bank Account: Required primarily for foreign shareholders to remit capital and obtain an Encashment Certificate from a Rajshahi-based scheduled bank.
• Step 4 – Submit RJSC Application: Upload signed MOA/AOA, Form I (declaration), Form IX (director consent), Form XII (director list), and subscriber pages to the RJSC portal.
• Step 5 – Pay Government Fees: Fees are calculated on authorised share capital and payable through the RJSC portal or designated banks.
• Step 6 – Receive Certificate of Incorporation: Issued digitally by RJSC, typically within 20–30 working days.

A qualified business registration lawyer ensures your MOA/AOA are legally compliant and the RJSC filing is error-free. Contact our Rajshahi legal team for a smooth registration experience.

Every business operating within Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) jurisdiction — covering 30 wards — must obtain a Trade License before commencing operations. RCC issues trade licenses under the City Corporation Act and relevant municipal laws. The process involves:

• Collect the appropriate form — K-Form for commercial firms or I-Form for industrial/manufacturing units — from the RCC Licensing Section or the RCC online portal.
• Fill in business name, owner details, nature of business, and premises address within RCC area.
• Obtain the signature and verification of the local Ward Commissioner.
• Submit the completed form with supporting documents (NID, rental deed, photographs, incorporation certificate if applicable) to the RCC Zonal Licensing Office.
• After inspection by the Licensing Inspector, pay the prescribed fee at the designated Sonali Bank branch or via the RCC online payment system.
• Collect the Trade License from the RCC Office upon approval.

The Trade License must be renewed annually by 30th June. A signboard fee (30% of license fee) is also mandatory. Late renewal attracts surcharges. Need help with your RCC Trade License? Consult our specialists.

Yes. Bangladesh generally permits 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and Rajshahi is increasingly attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) — particularly in agro-processing, silk manufacturing, and mango export. Key considerations:

• 100% foreign shareholding is allowed in most manufacturing, IT, export-oriented, and services sectors.
• Restricted sectors — banking, insurance, telecom, and media — require Bangladesh Bank or sector-specific regulatory approval.
• Foreign shareholders must remit paid-up capital via formal banking channels and obtain an Encashment Certificate from the receiving bank before RJSC submission.
• Rajshahi's mango and silk export potential makes it attractive for foreign-backed agro-processing and textile ventures.
• BIDA's One-Stop Service assists with work permits, investor visas, and inter-agency coordination.
• Alternatives include setting up a Branch Office or Liaison Office, both requiring BIDA approval.

The Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) are the two foundational constitutional documents of any company under the Companies Act 1994:

• MOA (Section 11): Defines the company's name, registered office jurisdiction (Rajshahi), business objectives, authorised share capital, and member liability. Limited to 400 words and 7 prescribed clauses. It sets the external boundaries of the company's powers.
• AOA (Section 22): Governs internal operations — board meetings, share transfers, director appointments, voting rights, dividend distribution, and winding-up procedures.

A poorly drafted MOA can restrict your company's future business activities; an inadequate AOA can lead to shareholder disputes and governance deadlocks. RJSC officers scrutinise both documents — errors cause rejection and delays. A qualified business registration lawyer ensures your MOA/AOA are tailored, comprehensive, and RJSC-compliant. Our legal team drafts MOA/AOA for Rajshahi businesses.

After receiving your Certificate of Incorporation, several post-registration steps are legally mandatory for Rajshahi-based companies:

• TIN Registration: Obtain a Tax Identification Number from the NBR's Rajshahi Tax Commissionerate — mandatory for all companies.
• BIN / VAT Registration: Obtain a Business Identification Number from the Rajshahi VAT Commissionerate if annual turnover exceeds BDT 30 Lakh.
• RCC / Upazila Trade License: Apply to Rajshahi City Corporation or the relevant Upazila Parishad before starting business — renewed annually by 30 June.
• Corporate Bank Account: Open a current account in the company's registered name at a Rajshahi branch of a scheduled bank.
• Import/Export Registration: Obtain IRC/ERC from the CCIE if engaged in international trade (particularly relevant for mango and silk exports).
• Annual Return (RJSC): File yearly returns and financial statements under Section 150 of the Companies Act 1994.

Our compliance team handles all post-incorporation requirements for Rajshahi businesses. Get a complete compliance package.

• Audited Financial Statements: Prepared annually by a practising Chartered Accountant appointed as auditor.
• RCC/Upazila Trade License Renewal: By 30 June each year — late renewal incurs surcharges.

A Partnership Firm is governed by the Partnership Act 1932 and registered with the RJSC. While registration is optional, it is strongly recommended for legal enforceability. The process in Rajshahi involves:

• Draft Partnership Deed: A legally binding agreement specifying profit-sharing ratios, roles, capital contributions, and dissolution terms — prepared by a qualified lawyer.
• Collect Forms: Obtain Form I (application for registration) and Form III (partner particulars) from the RJSC portal.
• Submit Application: File the Partnership Deed, Form I, Form III, and NID copies of all partners with RJSC (Rajshahi regional office processes filings for the division).
• Pay Registration Fee: BDT 2,000–5,000 depending on the firm's capital and nature.
• Obtain RCC/Upazila Trade License: Apply separately to the relevant local authority.
• Get TIN: Each partner and the firm must have separate TINs.

A well-drafted Partnership Deed is crucial to prevent disputes. Our lawyers draft and register partnership firms across Rajshahi.

An Electronic Tax Identification Number (E-TIN) is mandatory for all companies and every director/shareholder in Bangladesh. The registration process via the NBR e-TIN portal is:

• Step 1: Visit the NBR e-TIN portal (etaxnbr.gov.bd) and create an account with a valid mobile number and email.

• Step 4: Submit the application and receive your 12-digit TIN instantly online.
• Step 5: Download the TIN certificate from the portal.

Every company director must also hold an individual E-TIN. E-TIN is required for RCC Trade License renewal, bank account opening, and filing annual tax returns with the Rajshahi Tax Commissionerate. Our team assists with E-TIN and BIN registration in Rajshahi.

Post-registration changes must be filed with the RJSC using prescribed forms within legally mandated timeframes:

• Change of Company Name: Requires Special Resolution at an EGM, RJSC name clearance for the new name, and filing of amended MOA/AOA. Processing: 15–30 working days.
• Change of Directors: File Form IX (new director consent) and Form XII (updated director list) within 30 days. Resigning directors must file Form X.
• Share Transfer: Execute a Share Transfer Deed, update the Register of Members, and file with RJSC. Stamp duty is payable on the transfer value.
• Change of Registered Office: File Form III within 21 days. If moving within Rajshahi District, it is simpler; moving to a different district may require a Special Resolution.
• Alteration of MOA/AOA: Requires Special Resolution and RJSC filing under Sections 12–16 and Section 22 of the Companies Act 1994.

All changes must be reflected in company records and communicated to RJSC promptly. Our lawyers handle all post-incorporation amendments in Rajshahi.
