Every business in Bangladesh deserves to be findable online, not just the big brands. A free business directory listing gives your shop, company or service a permanent web presence: your name, category, address and phone number visible to customers exactly when they are searching for what you sell.
You can also submit your company for free in our Bangladesh business directory with addresses, phone numbers and opening hours.
This guide walks you through adding your business to a free online directory in Bangladesh, with the BDTalika free business directory as the main example, plus the other free listings every business should claim.

FAQ
Is a business directory listing really free in Bangladesh?
Yes. BDTalika offers free listings, and so do Google Business Profile and Facebook. Some directories sell premium placements or ads, but the standard listings cost nothing.
Do I need a trade license to list my business?
Legally, every business in Bangladesh should hold a trade license, and some directories may request it for verification. A trade license also builds customer trust, so obtain one from your city corporation or pourashava.
How long until my free listing appears?
Usually within minutes to a few days after review, depending on the directory. BDTalika listings go live quickly after a basic check.
Can a free listing really bring customers?
Yes, especially combined: customers searching your category find you on directories and Maps, and consistent listings also improve your visibility in Google search results over time.
