License Registration Consultant in Bangladesh: Cost & Process

Starting or expanding a business in Bangladesh requires multiple licenses and registrations. From a basic Trade License to Import-Export Certificates (IRC/ERC), TIN, BIN, BIDA approval, or sector-specific permits, the process can be time-consuming and complex if handled alone.

A professional License Registration Consultant in Bangladesh helps businesses navigate these requirements efficiently, ensuring full compliance while saving time and reducing the risk of rejection or delays.

This guide explains the role of a license registration consultant, the typical process, approximate costs, and how expert support can benefit your business.

What Does a License Registration Consultant Do?

A license registration consultant provides end-to-end support for obtaining and renewing various business licenses and registrations. Key services usually include:

• Advising on the correct licenses required for your business type
• Preparing and organizing all necessary documents
• Selecting the proper business category (important for fees and future tax implications)
• Filing applications with the relevant authorities
• Following up with City Corporations, NBR, CCI&E, BIDA, Customs, and other bodies
• Handling renewals, modifications, and related compliance
• Coordinating multiple registrations as a package (Trade License + TIN + BIN + IRC/ERC, etc.)

Typical Process of License Registration

While the exact steps vary by license, the general process followed by a consultant is:

1. Initial Consultation & Requirement Assessment
   Understanding your business type, location, and activities to identify all necessary licenses.
2. Document Preparation
   Collecting and preparing NID, photographs, rent agreement/ownership proof, company documents, bank statements, etc.
3. Application Filing
   Submitting applications to the correct authority (online portals or physical offices).
4. Fee Payment
   Paying government fees via treasury challan or designated channels.
5. Follow-up & Coordination
   Tracking progress, responding to queries, and arranging inspections if required.
6. License Issuance & Handover
   Collecting the approved license and providing guidance on renewal and compliance.

For company formation packages, the process also includes RJSC name clearance, MoA/AoA drafting, and incorporation before moving to licenses.

Approximate Costs Involved

Costs consist of two parts: Government fees and Consultant service fees.

Government Fees (Approximate & Subject to Change):

• Trade License: BDT 200 – 1,000 (small business), up to BDT 5,000–50,000 for medium/industrial categories (yearly)
• BIDA Liaison Office application: Around BDT 25,000 + VAT
• IRC / ERC: Fees vary based on category and are paid via treasury challan
• TIN & BIN: Generally low or nominal government fees
• Other licenses (Fire, Environmental, C&F, Bonded Warehouse): Vary significantly by type and scale

Consultant Service Fees:

These depend on the number of licenses, complexity, urgency, and whether it is a full business setup package. Professional consultants typically charge a transparent service fee that covers document preparation, filing, follow-up, and advisory support. Package deals for multiple registrations (e.g., Trade License + TIN + BIN + IRC/ERC) are often more cost-effective than handling each separately.

Note: Always request a detailed quotation based on your specific business needs, as costs can vary by location and business category.
