Our Secretarial Services in Bangladesh
Our secretarial services in Bangladesh keep your company in good standing: the registers, the board and shareholder records, and every filing the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms expects. You get one point of contact and a written statement of what falls due next.
We take over a set of obligations that usually has no owner. Registers nobody updated. A board resolution your bank asks for that nobody minuted. A director change filed three months late.
We bring the file current first, in date order, and never backdate anything. Then we keep it current.
What We Handle For Your Entity
Four areas. Take all four, or keep the meeting side in house and give us the filings.
Statutory Registers
The register of members, register of directors and related books kept current, in a form that survives a bank review or a buyer's due diligence.
Board And Shareholder Records
Notices, agendas, attendance and minutes for board and general meetings, plus the resolutions that banks, regulators and counterparties ask to see.
RJSC Submissions
Preparation and submission of the returns and forms your entity owes the Registrar, with a copy of every filed document returned to you for your own file.
Director, Address And Share Changes
Appointments and resignations, transfers and allotments of shares, and changes of registered office — documented internally and filed externally.
The Records We Keep For You
We maintain these and produce them on request. The right-hand column is who asks, and why.
| Record | When someone asks for it |
|---|---|
| Register of members | Bank account opening, due diligence, any share transfer |
| Register of directors | Signatory changes, board authority checks, KYC |
| Minute book for board meetings | Proving a decision was properly taken and by whom |
| Minute book for general meetings | Shareholder approvals, accounts adoption |
| Share certificates and transfer records | Investment, exit, inheritance of a holding |
| Registered office details on file with RJSC | Service of notice, regulator correspondence, licence renewals |
| Annual return filed with RJSC | Good standing — the first thing a counterparty checks |
We Confirm Your Deadlines In Writing
Deadlines and penalties depend on your company type and the filing. We will not publish a date here that may not apply to you. Tell us your entity type and we will confirm your position in writing, with the RJSC reference, before you rely on it.
Records list verified September 2026 against published RJSC guidance. Tax registration and returns are administered separately by the National Board of Revenue.
Who Our Secretarial Services Are For
Six situations where our secretarial services pay for themselves.
- 01A foreign parent whose Bangladesh subsidiary has finance staff but no corporate secretarial function.
- 02Companies that have just completed company registration and therefore hold no records beyond the incorporation file.
- 03Branch, liaison or representative offices reporting to a head office that expects documented governance.
- 04Any business preparing for investment, a share transfer or an audit, where the registers will be examined.
- 05Businesses whose director or shareholder structure has changed while the filings have fallen behind.
- 06Entities with no permanent staff in Bangladesh, running alongside entity setup or an EOR arrangement.
Why Companies Hand This To Us
Companies move their secretarial services to us for three reasons. Cost is the weakest of them.
The register nobody maintained is never a problem until the week a bank, a buyer or a regulator asks to see it — and by then it is no longer a paperwork problem.

How Our Secretarial Services Start
Our secretarial services start in four steps. We publish working-day timings only when we can stand behind them.
- 1Records ReviewWe look at what exists: incorporation documents, registers, minute books and what has been filed. The output is a written list of what is current and what is not.
- 2Scope And AgreementYou decide which of the four areas we take. The agreement states what we handle, what stays with you, and what we will not do.
- 3Bringing Records CurrentGaps identified in the review are closed first, in date order, before any ongoing cycle starts. Nothing is backdated.
- 4Ongoing CycleMeetings are minuted as they happen, changes are filed as they occur, and you receive a standing statement of what is due next.
