To commence any business, project, or industry, you must obtain a regulatory license. A regulatory license is a formal authorization or permission granted by a government or regulatory authority.

These licenses are crucial components of regulatory frameworks to ensure compliance with laws, standards, and guidelines governing various sectors. Although regulatory requirements vary for different organizations depending on the sector, safety, impact on society, the environment, and many other considerations, they play a vital role in maintaining law and order for any organization.

Here, I will mention some important and common regulatory licenses in Bangladesh.
