Market Research & Investment Advisory
Mingdao Advisory helps businesses assess Bangladesh markets, sectors and commercial opportunities through research and analysis.
Who this service is for
Investors and business teams assessing a sector, customer segment, competitor landscape or market entry decision.
What the engagement aims to achieve
Evidence and analysis organized around a defined commercial or investment decision, with sources, assumptions and limitations made clear.
Define the engagement
The decision this service should help you make.
Is there sufficient customer, competitor and operating evidence to justify the next stage?
Useful information to bring
- Product or service definition and intended customer segment
- Existing research, customer conversations and source documents
- Geography, channel, budget and decision deadline
Outputs to agree
- A source register with observation dates, scope and limitations
- A market-assessment brief connecting research findings to options and next tests
Define what would change the decision: validated buyer interest, realistic addressable demand, channel margins or project sensitivities. National GDP and bilateral trade are context, not a company sales forecast.
These are proposed scoping examples. The engagement confirms the work, responsibilities, dependencies and fees.

Common questions
Does a feasibility study guarantee an investment outcome?
No. It evaluates a defined project using available evidence and assumptions. The report should identify uncertainty, sensitivities and limitations.
Can research include interviews or fieldwork?
Primary research can be included when the scope defines the participants, method, coverage, access requirements and deliverables.

Foreign ownership in Bangladesh
Build a business you can fully own.
100% foreign ownership
Available in eligible sectors
100% foreign ownership is permitted in most sectors in Bangladesh. An eligible business can establish a wholly foreign-owned company without a local equity partner.
Eligibility depends on the business activity. Reserved or restricted activities, sector-specific ownership rules, licences and regulatory approvals must be checked before incorporation or investment.
Do I need a local shareholder?
For an activity eligible for wholly foreign-owned incorporation, a local equity partner is not generally required. The proposed activities and applicable sector rules must be reviewed first. Ownership eligibility does not replace company registration, operating licences or other required approvals.
