  • Document Preparation and Business Consultancy for Bangladeshi Entrepreneurs

Every business process, whether you are registering a company in Dhaka, forming an LLC in Wyoming, setting up a Sdn Bhd in Kuala Lumpur, or establishing a free zone company in Dubai, begins and ends with documents. The right document, prepared correctly, submitted to the right authority at the right time, moves your application forward without delay. The wrong document, a missing clause, an incorrectly worded object clause in your Memorandum of Association, a shareholder agreement that does not reflect your actual ownership arrangement, a business plan that fails to address what a bank’s compliance team needs to see, a Power of Attorney that is not properly notarized for international use, a translation that is not certified for the jurisdiction that requires it, any one of these errors can delay your entire process by weeks, trigger rejection from a government authority, result in a bank declining your account application, or cause a foreign government office to return your submission entirely. GoBangladesh provides a complete document preparation and business consultancy service built specifically for Bangladeshi entrepreneurs operating at home and internationally. We understand how Bangladeshi businesses are structured, what Bangladeshi government authorities require, what international banks and foreign government offices look for in documentation from Bangladeshi applicants, and how to present your business, your ownership structure, and your intentions in a way that gets results. Whether you need a single document prepared or a complete advisory session on your global business strategy, this service is exclusively designed for Bangladeshi businessmen.

WHO THIS SERVICE IS FOR

This service is specifically for Bangladeshi citizens and Bangladeshi-owned businesses. It is not a general document service. Every piece of advice, every document we prepare, and every consultation we provide is tailored to the specific context of a Bangladeshi business owner navigating the Bangladeshi regulatory environment or building an international business from Bangladesh.

  • Entrepreneurs in Bangladesh who need proper company formation documents prepared from scratch for RJSC submission
  • Business owners who have been operating informally and need complete documentation to formalize their existing business
  • Bangladeshi entrepreneurs who are applying for a US LLC, UAE company, or Malaysia Sdn Bhd and need their supporting documents prepared to international standards
  • Bangladeshi businessmen who are applying for international bank accounts and need a credible business plan and company profile for bank compliance review
  • Exporters and importers who need specific trade documents prepared including proforma invoices, commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin
  • Bangladeshi entrepreneurs who want to sell on Amazon, Alibaba, or other global platforms and need their seller profile documentation organized correctly
  • Business owners who need a shareholder agreement, director appointment document, or company resolution drafted professionally
  • Bangladeshi people living abroad in the USA, UAE, Malaysia, UK, or elsewhere who need documents from Bangladesh processed, notarized, apostilled, or translated for use in the country they are operating in
  • Anyone who is unsure which business structure, which market, which jurisdiction, or which platform is right for their situation and needs a genuine one-on-one consultation with someone who understands the Bangladeshi entrepreneur’s specific position

PART ONE: DOCUMENT PREPARATION FOR BANGLADESH COMPANY FORMATION

Getting your Bangladesh company documents right is non-negotiable. RJSC has specific formatting, word count, and content requirements for constitutional documents. A Memorandum of Association that exceeds 400 words in the object clause, uses restricted words without authorization, or fails to cover the seven mandatory clauses will be rejected. An Articles of Association that is inconsistently structured or contradicts the MoA creates governance problems that surface years later when the company faces disputes, ownership changes, or bank loan applications.

Memorandum of Association Drafting:

  • Complete drafting of your Memorandum of Association in compliance with RJSC requirements under the Companies Act 1994
  • Object clause written clearly and concisely within the mandatory 400-word limit covering your company’s actual business activities
  • All seven mandatory clauses included and correctly structured: name clause, registered office clause, object clause, liability clause, capital clause, association clause, and subscription clause
  • Authorized and paid-up capital clearly stated with share denomination and class structure
  • Subscriber details formatted correctly with proper NID or passport references

Articles of Association Drafting:

  • Complete drafting of your Articles of Association defining your company’s internal governance
  • Directors’ powers, appointment procedures, and removal conditions clearly defined
  • Shareholder rights, voting rights, and share transfer restrictions properly structured
  • Dividend policy and profit distribution procedures included
  • Meeting procedures for board meetings and general meetings specified
  • Dispute resolution mechanisms and company winding up procedures included

RJSC Statutory Forms Preparation:

  • Form IX: Consent to Act as Director completed for each director with correct personal details
  • Form X: List of Persons Consenting as Directors compiled and formatted
  • Form XII: Particulars of Directors, Managers, and Managing Agents prepared with complete biographical and identification information
  • Form VI: Situation of Registered Office completed with verified office address details
  • Subscriber page drafted with correct share allocation and identification references

  • Share Certificate preparation for each shareholder reflecting their holdings
  • Statutory Register preparation including Register of Members, Register of Directors, and Register of Beneficial Owners
  • First Board Meeting Minutes documenting the appointment of directors, adoption of constitution, and initial corporate decisions
  • Company Seal and Letterhead design guidance aligned with your registered company name
  • Trade License application documentation compilation
  • TIN and VAT registration application documents organized for NBR submission

PART TWO: DOCUMENT PREPARATION FOR INTERNATIONAL COMPANY FORMATION

When a Bangladeshi entrepreneur applies for a US LLC, UAE free zone company, or Malaysian Sdn Bhd, the success of their bank account applications, seller account verifications, and ongoing platform compliance depends heavily on the quality and consistency of their supporting documentation. We prepare every document the international formation process requires.

US LLC Documentation:

  • Operating Agreement drafted specifically for your LLC’s ownership structure, management model, and business activity, meeting the formatting standards that Mercury, Relay, Wise, Stripe, and PayPal compliance teams expect to see
  • EIN application package preparation including all IRS Form SS-4 details
  • Registered Agent appointment letter
  • Company profile document in English describing your business, its activities, revenue model, and target market for bank KYC purposes
  • Source of funds documentation explaining the origin of your initial capital for US bank compliance review
  • Business activity description formatted for Amazon Seller Central or other marketplace account verification
  • US virtual address application documentation

  • Shareholder declaration and beneficial ownership documentation for UAE free zone authority submission
  • Business activity description for trade license category selection
  • Board Resolution for bank account opening authorized under UAE company law
  • Company profile document prepared in English for UAE bank KYC compliance, covering your business background, revenue sources, and transaction projections
  • Establishment Card application supporting documents

Malaysia Sdn Bhd Documentation:

  • Super Form preparation for MyCoID submission with complete director, shareholder, and company information
  • Memorandum and Articles of Association drafted to Companies Act 2016 Malaysia standards
  • Director consent letter and appointment documentation
  • Board Resolution for bank account opening compliant with Malaysian banking requirements
  • Company profile document for Malaysian bank KYC review
  • Resident director appointment documentation

PART THREE: BUSINESS PLANS AND FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS

Banks in the UAE, Malaysia, and internationally require a business plan as a standard part of their account opening KYC process. Free zone authorities sometimes ask for business plans during license applications. Investor visa applications in multiple countries require business plans demonstrating your company’s viability. Bangladeshi banks require business plans for loan applications. A poorly written business plan that does not match your actual business model, contains inconsistencies, or fails to address what the reviewing institution specifically looks for is one of the most common reasons bank applications and visa applications are rejected or delayed.

We prepare professionally written business plans that are:

  • Written in clear, professional English at international business communication standards
  • Structured to match what UAE, Malaysian, and US bank compliance teams specifically require during account opening review
  • Consistent with your company’s registered activities, trade license categories, and corporate documents
  • Realistic in their financial projections with assumptions clearly stated and defensible
  • Formatted correctly for the specific purpose, whether it is a bank application, a free zone submission, an investor visa application, or a business loan from a Bangladeshi bank

What our business plan preparation covers:

  • Executive summary clearly describing your business concept, target market, and competitive position
  • Company overview aligned with your legal entity structure in the relevant jurisdiction
  • Business activity description that matches your trade license or company registration categories exactly
  • Market analysis covering your target geography, customer segments, and competitive landscape
  • Revenue model explanation covering how your business generates income and who pays you
  • Operations plan describing how you deliver your product or service and where your team is based
  • Financial projections for three years including revenue forecasts, operating expenses, and projected profit
  • Source of funds section explaining where your initial and ongoing business capital comes from
  • Management team section describing your background and experience as the business owner

Financial Projection Preparation:

  • Three-year profit and loss projection prepared in a professional spreadsheet format
  • Revenue growth assumptions clearly documented and realistic for your sector
  • Operating expense breakdown covering all categories the bank or authority expects to see
  • Cash flow projection showing monthly cash movement for the first twelve months
  • Balance sheet projection for all three years
  • Break-even analysis showing at what revenue level your business becomes profitable

PART FOUR: SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENTS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DOCUMENTS

When two or more people start a business together, verbal agreements and good intentions are not enough. A properly drafted Shareholders Agreement defines exactly what happens in every important scenario that partnerships face, before those scenarios arise. Many Bangladeshi business partnerships break down not because of bad intentions but because the partners never established clear written rules about decision-making authority, profit distribution, share transfers, and what happens when one partner wants to exit.

Shareholders Agreement Preparation:

  • Shareholder rights and responsibilities clearly defined for each party
  • Share transfer restrictions preventing any shareholder from selling their stake to an outside party without the other shareholders’ right of first refusal
  • Decision-making thresholds specifying which decisions require simple majority, supermajority, or unanimous shareholder approval
  • Dividend distribution policy specifying how and when profits are distributed
  • Non-compete and confidentiality obligations for all shareholders
  • Dead-lock resolution mechanisms for situations where shareholders cannot reach agreement
  • Exit mechanisms including tag-along rights, drag-along rights, and buyout provisions
  • Valuation methodology for share transfers and buyouts
  • Dispute resolution procedure specifying mediation and arbitration before litigation

Director Appointment and Removal Documents:

  • Director Appointment Letter formally appointing each director to the company’s board
  • Director Service Agreement for executive directors who are also employed by the company
  • Director Resignation Letter template for use when directors need to step down
  • Board Resolution removing a director when required by company circumstances
  • Director Conflict of Interest Declaration for maintaining good governance standards

Company Resolutions and Board Minute Preparation:

  • Board Meeting Minutes for any significant company decision requiring documentation
  • Extraordinary General Meeting resolutions for major decisions requiring shareholder approval
  • Annual General Meeting minutes and resolutions
  • Written Resolution in lieu of a meeting for routine decisions that do not require a formal meeting
  • Resolution to change company name, registered address, business activity, or authorized capital

PART FIVE: POWER OF ATTORNEY PREPARATION AND NOTARIZATION

A Power of Attorney authorizes another person to act on your behalf in legal, financial, or business matters. For Bangladeshi entrepreneurs, Power of Attorney documents are required in multiple situations: when you want someone in Bangladesh to handle RJSC submissions or government dealings on your behalf, when you want to authorize someone to sign contracts or manage property while you are abroad, when a foreign bank or government authority requires a notarized POA as part of their documentation requirements, and when you are operating your business from another country and need someone in Bangladesh to represent you for specific transactions.

Bangladesh joined the Hague Apostille Convention on 30 March 2025, meaning documents issued in Bangladesh can now be apostilled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for use in other Hague Convention member countries including the USA, UK, UAE, Malaysia, Germany, France, Australia, and over 120 other countries, without requiring full embassy legalization in most cases. This significantly simplifies the process of using Bangladesh-issued documents internationally.

We prepare the following Power of Attorney documents:

  • General Power of Attorney authorizing a representative to handle a broad range of matters on your behalf within Bangladesh
  • Special Power of Attorney limited to specific transactions such as signing a particular contract, completing a specific government registration, or managing defined property
  • Business Power of Attorney authorizing a representative to act on behalf of your company in business and legal matters
  • Property Power of Attorney for buying, selling, managing, or transferring property in Bangladesh when you are abroad
  • Company Management Power of Attorney authorizing a local representative to manage ongoing company compliance filings and government dealings while you operate internationally

Power of Attorney Notarization and Apostille:

  • Preparation of the POA document in the correct format under Bangladesh’s Power of Attorney Rules 2015
  • Coordination of notarization by a licensed Bangladeshi notary public
  • Ministry of Foreign Affairs submission for e-Apostille authentication for use in Hague Convention member countries
  • For countries not in the Hague Convention, coordination of embassy attestation through the destination country’s embassy in Dhaka
  • For Bangladeshis living abroad who need a Bangladesh POA signed overseas, guidance on the correct process in the USA, UAE, Malaysia, and UK

PART SIX: CERTIFIED DOCUMENT TRANSLATION

Many international processes require Bangladeshi documents translated into English or other languages. RJSC certificates, trade licenses, TIN certificates, NID cards, academic certificates, and other official documents issued in Bangla must be translated into English for use in US LLC formation, UAE company applications, Malaysian bank account opening, and international visa applications. Similarly, documents issued in foreign languages sometimes need to be translated into Bangla or English for submission to Bangladeshi authorities.

Bangladesh joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2025, and documents submitted for apostille that are in Bangla must be accompanied by certified translations. Translations for use with Arabic-language authorities must additionally be certified by the Islamic Foundation of Bangladesh.

Translation services we provide:

  • Certified English translation of Bangladeshi government documents including RJSC Certificate of Incorporation, Trade License, TIN certificate, and VAT certificate
  • Certified English translation of personal identification documents including NID cards and birth certificates
  • Certified English translation of academic certificates and professional qualifications
  • Certified English translation of property documents, tenancy agreements, and utility bills required for proof of address in foreign applications
  • Certified English translation of company constitutional documents including MoA and AoA for foreign jurisdiction submissions
  • Certified Bangla translation of foreign-issued documents required for submission to Bangladeshi authorities
  • Arabic translation with Islamic Foundation certification for documents submitted to Gulf country authorities

All translations are prepared by qualified translators with professional certification and come with a translator’s declaration of accuracy, which international authorities and banks require for translation validity.

PART SEVEN: EXPORT AND TRADE DOCUMENT PREPARATION

Bangladeshi exporters and importers need a specific set of trade documents for every shipment. Incorrectly prepared trade documents cause customs clearance delays, payment processing problems, and buyer disputes. We prepare and review all standard export and import documents.

Export Document Preparation:

  • Proforma Invoice prepared in internationally accepted format with complete product specifications, quantity, unit pricing, total value, payment terms, delivery terms in Incoterms format, and buyer and seller details
  • Commercial Invoice prepared for each actual shipment with correct HS codes, declared customs value, country of origin, and all mandatory fields
  • Packing List with detailed carton count, carton dimensions, gross and net weights per carton, and total shipment weight and volume
  • Certificate of Origin application preparation for submission to the Export Promotion Bureau of Bangladesh or the relevant Chamber of Commerce
  • GSP Form A and GSP Certificate of Origin preparation for shipments to European Union countries benefiting from the Everything But Arms preferential tariff access
  • Bill of Lading instruction preparation for your freight forwarder based on the buyer’s requirements
  • Shipper’s Letter of Instruction for air freight and courier shipments
  • Inspection Certificate coordination with third-party inspection agencies where buyers require pre-shipment quality verification

Letter of Credit Document Preparation:

  • Review of Letter of Credit terms received from the buyer’s bank against your production and shipping capability
  • Identification of LC discrepancy risks and advice on requesting amendments before production begins
  • Preparation of all LC-compliant shipping documents in exact accordance with UCP 600 and the specific LC terms
  • Review of completed shipping documents before presentation to your bank to minimize discrepancy risk

PART EIGHT: ONE-ON-ONE BUSINESS CONSULTANCY

Some of the most important conversations a Bangladeshi entrepreneur needs are not about documents. They are about decisions. Which market should I enter first? Should I form a US LLC, a UAE company, or both? Do I need to register my company in Bangladesh before forming a foreign company? Should I sell on Amazon or start with Alibaba? Am I better off as a sole proprietor or should I register a private limited company? How do I structure my business so that both my Bangladesh operations and my international operations are tax efficient? How do I protect my shares if my business partner and I have a disagreement? What documents will a UAE bank require, and how do I prepare myself before I apply?

These are the questions that determine whether a business succeeds or wastes months going in the wrong direction. GoBangladesh offers dedicated one-on-one business consultancy sessions for Bangladeshi entrepreneurs at any stage of their business journey.

DOCUMENTS WE DO NOT NEED FROM YOU BEFORE THE FIRST CONSULTATION

Unlike most services that require you to fill out forms and upload documents before speaking to anyone, our consultancy starts with a conversation. You do not need to prepare anything in advance for your first consultation. Just bring your questions, your business idea, or your current situation and we will take it from there.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I get documents prepared without taking the full company formation service? Yes. If you already have a company registered but need specific documents prepared such as a shareholder agreement, a business plan for a bank application, or a Power of Attorney, we can prepare those documents independently without requiring you to use our full registration service.

How long does document preparation take? Standard documents such as MoA, AoA, and RJSC forms can typically be prepared within three to five working days. Business plans and financial projections take five to ten working days depending on the complexity of your business. Translations are typically completed within two to five working days. Apostille processing through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs takes approximately five to ten working days after documents are submitted.

Can I get my documents apostilled for use in the USA and UAE? Yes. Bangladesh joined the Hague Apostille Convention in March 2025, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now issues e-Apostilles for qualifying documents. Bangladeshi company documents, personal identification documents, educational certificates, and Powers of Attorney can be apostilled for use in Hague Convention member countries including the USA, UAE, UK, Malaysia, and over 120 others. We coordinate the complete apostille process on your behalf.

Do you provide translation services for documents issued in Arabic or other foreign languages? Yes. We provide certified English translations of Arabic, Malaysian, and other foreign-language documents that Bangladeshi entrepreneurs need to submit to Bangladeshi authorities or banks.

Is the consultancy only for people in Dhaka? No. Our consultancy services are available to Bangladeshi entrepreneurs across Bangladesh and to Bangladeshi people living and working abroad in the USA, UAE, Malaysia, UK, and elsewhere. All sessions are conducted by phone or video call so your location does not matter.

What is the difference between this service and using a lawyer? Our consultancy is business-focused and practical. We advise on structure, strategy, markets, platforms, and banking in addition to preparing documents. We connect you with lawyers and Chartered Accountants for matters that require formal legal or financial advice, but many of the decisions and documents that Bangladeshi entrepreneurs need most do not require a lawyer to handle them, and having a dedicated business consultant who understands your specific situation as a Bangladeshi entrepreneur is often more useful than a general legal service.

Can you help me understand which of your other services I need? Yes. This is often the starting point for new clients. Many Bangladeshi entrepreneurs contact GoBangladesh knowing they want to go international but unsure exactly what they need to put in place first. Our first consultancy session is specifically designed for this, mapping out exactly which services apply to your situation and in what order you should pursue them.

Contact GoBangladesh to schedule your first business consultancy session or to commission any specific document preparation service. Every conversation is confidential, every document is prepared to the standards required by the specific authority or platform it is being submitted to, and every recommendation is based on what we genuinely believe is the right next step for your specific business situation as a Bangladeshi entrepreneur.
