UAE & Hong Kong Market Entry
Take a Bangladeshi business international — with the Bangladesh-side structuring handled too.
The UAE and Hong Kong are the two expansion destinations that make most sense for most Bangladeshi companies. The UAE gives you the Gulf market, a large Bangladeshi diaspora, zero corporate tax on qualifying income and serious trade infrastructure. Hong Kong gives you East and Southeast Asia, a low-tax regime and a jurisdiction counterparties everywhere recognise.
We handle both ends. Incorporation, licensing and banking in the destination — and the part most advisors skip: outward FDI rules, Bangladesh Bank approval for overseas investment, and a holding structure that works for tax on both sides of the arrangement.

Why clients keep this with us
Most firms handle one side of this. Getting Bangladesh Bank comfortable with an outward investment is the harder half — and it is the half we do routinely.
