The first and most crucial task is to create a company strategy and pick short and long-term objectives, and we can assist you in doing so.

After that, determining the project cost and deciding on a method of funding is the first step in getting the business up and running.

Companies must plan for recruitment and layout policies to turn employees into assets. You must schedule the project design milestone for trial production. Our skilled staff assists you in ensuring a more efficient business process.

3. Finance :

Personal investment or intercompany investment can be used to arrange finances. Local commercial banks also provide project financing for the establishment of apparel-related businesses.

The registration of a firm at the Registrar of the Joint Stock of Companies, often known as RJSC, is usually the first step in establishing a garments factory in Bangladesh. A public or private limited business is the two alternatives. Private limited firms have their own group of shareholders, whereas public limited companies can raise capital from the public by selling shares. For any company, the process begins with a Name Clearance Certificate and continues with the RJSC’s required document list for company incorporation. The Articles and Memorandum of Association outline the companies’ ownership and operations.

When there are foreign shareholders, the document needs will vary depending on the RJSC’s requirements. Foreign owners have the option of forming a subsidiary business that will be a limited liability corporation with the parent company’s ownership.

After a company has been established, the next set of criteria is obtaining factory licenses. The following is a general list of the licenses that a garments manufacturer may require for operation, depending on the type of operations. This list is non-exhaustive:

1. Certificate of Export Registration (E.R.C)
2. Certificate of Import Registration (I.R.C)
3. Approval of the Factory Layout Plan.
4. A fire license is required.
5. Factory Permit
6. Certificate for the Environment
7. Belonging to a Chamber of Commerce.
8. Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers & Exporters Associate membership and certification (BGMEA)
9. Certificate of Registration for Value Added Tax.
10. A business license.
11. Certificate of Enrolment in the Export Promotion Bureau.
12. Tax Identification Number (TIN) (TIN)
13. Certificate of Bank Solvency
14. Bond License and General Bond (If Applicable) and so on.

In the clothing industry, buying houses play a significant role. Some of the world’s largest brands employ buying houses to make orders with local enterprises and manufacturers. A Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, or Corporation can be formed to purchase houses. The Sole Proprietorship is the most basic type of business ownership, with the proprietor bearing full responsibility for all liabilities, including profits, dues, and taxes. It is simple to set up by acquiring a Trade License, which must be renewed annually. Bangladeshi partnerships require a minimum of two and a maximum of twenty participants. It can be carried out through a cooperation agreement that has been registered with the RJSC. There’s also the possibility of forming a buying house as a subsidiary firm with the parent corporation owning a majority stake. Most foreign owners, on the other hand, prefer to have a dedicated branch or liaison office for this purpose. To operate, such a branch/liaison office must first seek approval from the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA).
