Closing Down a Liaison, Branch or Project Office in Bangladesh
Foreign entities operating in Bangladesh through Liaison Offices (LO), Branch Offices (BO), or Project Offices (PO) must navigate a specific regulatory pathway when ceasing operations. Unlike locally incorporated companies which undergo liquidation under the Companies Act 1994, these offices follow a distinct closure process primarily overseen by the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), alongside the National Board of Revenue (NBR) and Bangladesh Bank (the central bank).
