Types of Companies in Bangladesh

Sole Proprietorship
A sole proprietorship is an independently owned business that is run by one person only. An owner becomes personally responsible for all debts or losses that occur in this business since it holds its plus and minuses

Private Limited Company
A private limited company is a separate legal entity, and its owners do not bear any liability for the debts incurred by the company. It is for this reason that PLCs are more attractive to businesses requiring huge amounts of capital or those who need to ensure their personal assets are protected.

Public Limited Company
A PLC is just like a private limited company; however, PLCs can issue their shares to the public. In this way, PLCs can gain huge capital by listing in the stock market, but they are again heavily regulated and need to follow many reporting requirements.

Joint Venture
A joint venture is a business partnership of two or more companies. It can be either a legally separate entity or merely a contractual relationship. It allows firms to combine resources, capabilities, and market reach. On the other hand, joint ventures may also lead to potential conflicts or coordination issues.

Foreign Company
A foreign company is a company that is incorporated other than in Bangladesh but carries its business in Bangladesh. They need to obtain a certificate of registration from the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms along with all other local laws and compliances. this can be a good option for foreign businesses seeking to enter the Bangladesh market.
