Before You Decide

Can't we just do this research ourselves? +
You can — if you have someone who speaks Bangla, knows which government officials to call, has relationships with industry insiders, and can spend 4-6 weeks on the ground. Most don't.

What you'll struggle to get without local presence:
• Real pricing data (competitors don't publish this)
• Exclusive distribution arrangements (only known through relationships)
• Actual regulatory timelines (official guidelines are optimistic)
• Candid buyer feedback (requires trusted local introductions)

Our team has 15+ years of Bangladesh market experience. We know who to call — and they take our calls.
How are you different from McKinsey or Big Four firms? +
They're great at global strategy. We're great at Bangladesh.

McKinsey will charge $150K-$500K and send junior consultants who'll spend weeks learning what we already know.

What we offer that they don't:
• On-the-ground team that's been here 15+ years
• Direct relationships with BIDA, Bangladesh Bank, industry associations
• Primary interviews in Bangla (not through translators)
• Practical, implementation-ready recommendations

For Bangladesh-specific market entry, we deliver better intelligence at 5-10% of the cost.
What if the research shows No-Go? Is it still worth it? +
A No-Go might be the most valuable outcome.

Consider: A bad market entry costs $500K-$1.5M. Our research costs $4,500-$14,500. If we save you from a failed entry, the ROI is 50-100x.

But here's what usually happens: A "No-Go" on your original plan often comes with a "Go Instead" recommendation. We frequently discover:
• Adjacent segments that DO make sense
• Different entry models that reduce risk
• Timing considerations (wait 6 months for regulatory change)

We've had clients thank us for No-Go recommendations more than Go recommendations.
What industries have you covered? +
We've delivered research across 15+ industries including:

• Manufacturing: textile machinery, industrial equipment, automotive parts
• Technology: IT services, cybersecurity, SaaS, fintech
• Consumer: FMCG, consumer electronics, retail
• Other: pharmaceuticals, agricultural equipment, logistics

If your sector isn't listed, we likely still can help. Ask us about your specific industry.
Can you deliver faster than 4 weeks? +
Yes. Accelerated 2-week delivery available for +50% expedite fee.

For urgent needs, we also offer 1-hour Market Briefings ($500) within 48 hours.
What are the payment terms? +
Standard terms: 50% upon kickoff, 50% upon delivery.

We accept wire transfer (USD), credit card, and PayPal.
