Licences and Permits

Navigating the regulatory landscape in Bangladesh requires a clear understanding of the various licences and permits mandated by law. Whether you are establishing a new venture, expanding operations, or entering the market as a foreign investor, compliance with licensing requirements is essential for lawful and efficient business operations. The following overview categorises the principal licences and permits relevant to diverse business activities, including trading, manufacturing, services, and specialised sectors.

It is important to note that these categories are provided for convenience and organisational clarity. The fact that a licence appears under a particular heading does not preclude its relevance to other business types. For example, a trading company may also require environmental clearance depending on its activities. Prospective and existing businesses should carefully review all applicable licensing requirements in light of their specific operations and regulatory obligations.
