Online Company Registration in Bangladesh has revolutionized how local and foreign entrepreneurs establish businesses. Through the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC) portal, company formation is faster and more transparent than ever before.
The digital RJSC registration system minimizes administrative delays, reduces paper documentation, and allows real-time tracking of name clearance and incorporation applications. It provides a secure, streamlined gateway for local startups and international investor FDI setup.
The Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC) is the sole statutory authority governing company incorporation, name clearance, filing of statutory returns, and issuance of Certificates of Incorporation in Bangladesh.
Create an official user account on the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC) online portal.
Apply for company name clearance through the RJSC online portal to ensure name availability.
Prepare and upload required documents including Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA).
Pay government filing and stamp registration fees securely through online payment gateways.

Transfer the minimum share capital required for your company type into a local bank account. The minimum paid-up capital for a privately held company limited by shares is BDT 1,00,000.
Following RJSC's approval of your application, the business is now legally entitled to operate under the registered name after receiving the Certificate of Incorporation.
