Digital & B2B services

Freelancing agency

A small team taking foreign client work and routing the money home legally. Income tax and VAT are both waived and legal-channel earnings carry a 2.5 per cent cash incentive - but the first year pays close to nothing.

Flat and land brokerage

Matching buyers and sellers for a commission. No separate government licence is needed for brokerage and the capital is a phone; Dhaka flats list from Tk 1 crore to Tk 11.5 crore.

Selling online courses

Turning what you know into a course and selling seats. Near-zero capital, course prices Tk 1,250-8,800, but a new course's first batch enrols only 16-72 people.

Travel agency

Tickets, visas and hajj-umrah packages. Ministry registration costs Tk 62,500, renewal Tk 25,000 every three years, and the 2026 ordinance requires a Tk 10 lakh bank guarantee.

CCTV installation and maintenance

Installing and maintaining camera systems. Cameras are Tk 799-6,438 and recorders Tk 4,400-41,990, so cheap hardware has squeezed installation margins; the money is in annual maintenance contracts.
