Due to a lack of information, starting a non-profit organization in Bangladesh might be difficult. There are various government agencies with which you may register your corporation, and we spent a lot of time deciding which one was best for us. NetworkBD has a long history of providing company formation services. Our experts will handle the entire registration procedure for you, ensuring that your non-profit organization is properly registered.

The NGO Affairs Bureau is in charge of NGOs. To begin, the INGO or NGO must be registered with the relevant NGOAB body. Application in the prescribed form must be submitted to the NGOAB, along with payment of the required fee and all supporting documents, such as an operation report, a letter of intent, a constitution, and a copy of the Treasury Challenge for payment of registration fees, among others.

Upon receipt of the papers, the Ministries concerned shall designate the Special Branch of Police and National Security Intelligence to conduct a security check on the applicant and to conduct such an inspection as clearance forwarded to the Ministry of Home Affairs, provided that the approved bodies are satisfied with their inquiries.
