5.3. Capital Requirements and Ownership Rules

While the Companies Act 1994 does not mandate a minimum paid-up capital for standard private limited companies, foreign-invested firms must practically execute an initial inward remittance of USD 50,000 through an Authorized Dealer bank to clear expat work permits and register with the IBA. For a One Person Company (OPC), the law enforces a strict, mandatory minimum capital requirement of BDT 2.5 million.
