Why deals stall

Investors rarely walk away over the idea. They walk away over the paperwork.

Three gaps come up again and again when a Bangladeshi company meets its first foreign investor or a new audit firm.

Gap 01 · Cash

Sales are growing but cash isn't

Receivables pile up, suppliers get paid late and nobody can say how many months of cash are left.

We fix it with a 13-week cash forecast and monthly MIS.

Gap 02 · Filings

RJSC and BIDA records are behind

A late Schedule X or a missing Form XV means the share issue can't be recorded, and the money waits.

We fix it with a filing clean-up and a calendar you keep.

Gap 03 · Evidence

Documents live in five places

Contracts in email, licences in a drawer, ledgers on one laptop. Diligence slows to a crawl.

We fix it with an indexed data room built to the investor checklist.

Who we help

Built for companies about to meet serious money.

Startups raising funds

Seed to Series A companies facing their first foreign investor.

What you receive

A data room an investor can review without calling you.

Statutory audit fees and legal opinion fees are paid to the licensed firms that sign them. We show them as separate lines in your quote, never hidden inside ours.

How we work

Six commitments in every engagement letter.

You are sharing your company's most sensitive files. Here is exactly how we handle them and who is accountable.

NDA first

We sign a non-disclosure agreement before you send a single document.

Fixed fee in writing

Scope, fee and timeline in one letter. Extra work needs your written approval first.

One named lead

One adviser owns your file from the first call to the last filing.

Weekly status note

Every week: what was done, what is waiting on you, what is next.

You own every file

The data room, index and working papers are handed to you when we finish.

Licensed sign-off

Audits are signed by ICAB-licensed CA firms. Legal opinions come from partner lawyers.

Sample scenario · not a client story

What an engagement can look like

An illustrative Dhaka manufacturer with a foreign buyer who wants to take an equity stake:

  1. Health Check shows late RJSC returns, no cap table and receivables nobody has aged.
  2. Clean-up files the missing returns and builds the cap table and ageing reports.
  3. The data room is indexed to the checklist and shared with the buyer's advisers.
  4. After remittance, we collect the encashment certificate and update RJSC and BIDA records.

Real case studies will be published here with client permission.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does it take to become investor-ready?

Usually 6–10 weeks, depending on how many filings are missing. The Health Check gives you the exact timeline in the first two weeks.

How much does it cost?

Each package has a fixed fee based on the size of the gap. After a free 30-minute call you get a written quote within 48 hours. Audit and legal fees from licensed partners are listed separately.

Is BIDA still the agency for foreign investment?

BIDA, BEZA and PPPA were merged into Invest Bangladesh under the Invest Bangladesh Act 2026, in force since August 2026. BIDA's records moved to the new agency, and foreign and joint-venture companies now register and update their records with Invest Bangladesh. Our BIDA registration page explains what changed.

What is an encashment certificate and why does it matter?

Your bank issues it when foreign currency is converted to taka. It proves the investment money actually arrived, and it is needed to record the FDI properly. Our encashment certificate guide explains how to get one.

Do you do the statutory audit yourselves?

No. We prepare all 65 audit requests and coordinate with your ICAB-licensed audit firm, which signs the audit.

Can you find us an investor?

No. We get your company ready for investors you are already talking to, or will talk to. We don't broker deals or take a success fee.

Which accounting software do you work with?

QuickBooks, TallyPrime and NetSuite, plus bank and MFS reconciliations for City Bank, BRAC Bank, EBL, UCB, bKash and Rocket.

Is my data kept confidential?

Yes. We sign an NDA before we see any document, and your data room is shared only with people you approve.
