Business Incubation Agreement
Business Incubation Agreement — this contract typically follows the general framework of this category in Bangladesh. Business partnerships, joint ventures, and inter-company agreements — Partnership Deeds, MOUs, NDAs, distributor and supplier contracts, share-transfer documents, and franchise agreements — are the backbone of the Bangladeshi SME economy. Unlike a rental or a loan, a business agreement usually creates an ongoing relationship with money, decisions, work-product and reputation shared between the parties every day; the contract's job is to set out clearly what each partner brings in, how profits are split, who signs cheques, how new partners are admitted, how a disagreement is resolved, and how the venture is wound up when it eventually ends. A poorly drafted or missing Partnership Deed is the single largest cause of small-business break-ups in Bangladesh.

Frequently asked questions
- Is a digital agreement on ChuktiQ legally valid in Bangladesh?
- Yes — Sections 6 and 7 of the ICT Act, 2006 give electronic records and OTP-verified electronic signatures the same legal recognition as their paper equivalents. Two important exceptions apply: (a) documents that a specific statute requires to be executed on non-judicial stamp paper or registered — such as land sale / transfer deeds under the Registration Act — still need that stamp / registration in addition to the digital record; and (b) family-law instruments (marriage, divorce, will) follow their own governing statutes. Where either exception applies to your specific agreement, ChuktiQ shows a clear notice on that page.
- What stamp duty and registration apply to this type of agreement?
- That depends on the specific instrument type and, for many instruments, the amount involved — the Stamp Act, 1899 and the Registration Act, 1908 supply the rules. Most ordinary private contracts (loan notes, service agreements, MOUs, NDAs, general contracts) run on Tk. 300 non-judicial stamp with no registration. Certain instrument types have higher requirements — partnership deeds, sale or purchase of immovable property, leases longer than one year, gift deeds, powers of attorney used for property transfer, and others. Before executing this specific agreement, confirm the correct stamp denomination and any registration formality with a lawyer, especially if any significant value or long-term commitment is involved.
