Public records in Bangladesh are fragmented across the RJSC, land registries, tax offices, sector regulators and the courts, and much of what matters is not online. Credible diligence needs people who know which office holds which record and how to obtain it.
We run diligence exercises for acquirers, lenders, investment committees and listing sponsors — covering corporate standing, share capital history, land and title, licences, financing and security, employment, tax, litigation, IP and regulatory compliance — and we report in the format the client's deal team actually uses, with risks ranked and remediable items separated from deal-breakers.

Our writing on this
- Invest Bangladesh replaces BIDA, BEZA and the PPP Authority: what changes for foreign investors
Since 20 August 2026 a single authority, Invest Bangladesh, has done the work of BIDA, BEZA and the PPP Authority. Registration, work permits and the one-stop service continue, but documents, contracts and checklists that name the old agencies need attention.
- Inbound M&A in Bangladesh: what has changed for foreign acquirers
Deal volume has concentrated in energy, financial services and consumer. The execution risks have moved — from approvals, to competition analysis, to the exit that has to be priced at entry.
