Employer of Record (EOR) services in Bangladesh let foreign companies hire, onboard, and pay staff legally without registering a local entity. We become the legal employer; you direct the work. An Employer of Record is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on behalf of another company. The EOR handles employment contracts, payroll, NBR tax withholding, statutory benefits and HR administration, while the client company manages the employee’s daily work and performance.
How to Hire Employees in Bangladesh Without Registering a Company
You can employ staff in Bangladesh without incorporating there. A third party that already holds the local registrations employs the person on your behalf, and you direct their work. That arrangement is called an Employer of Record.
The alternative is to build the entity yourself — registering with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC), obtaining a trade licence, and registering with the National Board of Revenue (NBR) for tax. Each step must complete before your first employee can legally start.
