From name clearance to Certificate of Incorporation — a practical walkthrough of the RJSC company registration process for new entrepreneurs.
A private limited company is the most popular business structure in Bangladesh. It offers limited liability, a professional image and makes it easier to raise investment and open corporate bank accounts. Registration is handled by the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC).
Basic requirements
- At least two shareholders and two directors (the same people can hold both roles).
- A unique company name that is available with RJSC.
- A registered office address in Bangladesh.
- Memorandum and Articles of Association (MoA & AoA).
- NID/passport, photos and TIN of shareholders and directors.
Step-by-step process
- 1Name clearance — apply online to RJSC and reserve your preferred company name.
- 2Prepare documents — draft the MoA & AoA and the required incorporation forms.
- 3Pay fees — pay registration fees and stamp duty based on your authorised capital.
- 4Submit to RJSC — upload the signed documents for review.
- 5Receive your certificate — once approved, RJSC issues the Certificate of Incorporation.
How long does it take?
When documents are prepared correctly, incorporation typically takes around 7–15 working days. Most delays come from name rejections and incomplete documents — which is exactly where professional support saves time.
