For international businesses, ecommerce sellers, and import/export companies — your trusted Bangla-speaking partner in Dhaka. I help you discover verified suppliers, audit factories, source samples, attend trade fairs, and navigate Bangladesh's growing manufacturing landscape — without expensive on-ground trips.
Bangladesh is the world's second-largest garment exporter after China, with rapidly growing capacity in pharmaceuticals (Square, Beximco — WHO-GMP certified), leather goods, jute products, agricultural exports, light electronics, and handicrafts. Production costs are 30-50% lower than China for many categories, lead times shorter than Vietnam for South Asian buyers, and government export incentives are aggressive.
But the market is opaque to outsiders. English is limited outside Dhaka's elite. Cultural negotiation matters. Verifying actual factory capacity vs marketing claims is hard from abroad. Documentation is bureaucratic. Local introductions unlock 10x better pricing than cold outreach.
I'm your boots-on-ground partner — Bangla-speaking, Dhaka-based, with real factory access and supplier relationships.
I research, contact, and pre-vet manufacturers based on your specifications. Verified info: actual factory size, production capacity, certifications (BSCI, WRAP, OEKO-TEX, GOTS), trade license, export history, sample policy.
Deliverable: Shortlist of 5-15 vetted suppliers with full profiles, contact details, samples requested.
In-person factory visit on tor behalf. Photo + video documentation, capacity verification, working conditions check, sample quality assessment, certification cross-check.
Deliverable: Detailed inspection report with photos, video walkthrough, recommendations. Catches mismatches between marketing claims and reality.
Get physical samples before bulk commitment. I collect samples from multiple suppliers, photograph, consolidate, and ship to your address. Cheaper than negotiating separately with each supplier.
Deliverable: 3-10 samples from different suppliers, consolidated shipment via DHL/FedEx.
Can't fly to Bangladesh for DITF, Bangladesh Denim Expo, Asia Apparel Expo, or BAPLC trade shows? I attend on tor behalf — collect catalogs, take photos, identify potential suppliers, book follow-up meetings.
Deliverable: Photo + video coverage, supplier contact list, follow-up recommendations.
Competition analysis (who else is sourcing what), pricing trends, raw material availability, seasonal production capacity, MOQ ranges, lead times, payment term norms.
Deliverable: Custom research report based on your product category.
Bangla-speaking advantage: 20-40% better pricing through local negotiation. Cultural fluency reduces friction. I handle initial outreach, price discussions, sample requests on tor behalf.
Deliverable: Negotiated quotes, lead time commitments, sample policies in writing.
Many suppliers claim certifications they don't have. I verify with issuing bodies: BSCI, WRAP, SEDEX, OEKO-TEX, GOTS, ISO, HACCP, GMP. Photo of actual certificates from supplier files.
Deliverable: Certification verification report, issuing body confirmation, validity dates.
Bangladesh export documents — Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin (CO), GSP forms, Form A, packing list, commercial invoice — can confuse first-time buyers. I help interpret + verify.
Deliverable: Document review, missing element flags, regulatory compliance check.

B2B services pricing depends on scope, urgency, and category complexity. Three common engagement types:
Single deliverable. Eg., "Find 10 verified jute bag suppliers" or "Audit one factory in Gazipur."
Typical range: $100-500 per project. Quote on request.
Ongoing relationship. Hours per month for supplier communication, sample sourcing, market intelligence.
Typical range: $300-1500/month based on hours. Long-term clients get better rates.
For larger sourcing deals. Small percentage on actual purchase orders facilitated. Aligned incentives.
Typical range: 2-5% commission on supplier payments. Discussed case-by-case.
All quotes itemized and transparent. Free initial consultation to understand your needs. Pay only on milestone completion. NDA available for sensitive projects.
Bangladesh has thousands of "sourcing agents" — most are middlemen inflating prices, taking kickbacks from suppliers, providing zero accountability. My approach is different:
You pay me directly for services. I don't take supplier commissions. No hidden markup on your purchase orders.
Active seller since 2022 with verified international clients. Read real reviews.
Photo + video reports from factory visits. Timestamped, geotagged where relevant. Not just text claims.
Years building trust with factory owners directly — skip layers of brokers, get owner-level pricing.
Negotiate in Bangla for better pricing, report to you in clear English with full context.
I don't own factories. I don't take kickbacks. My only loyalty is to my client.
15-30 min chat via WhatsApp/email to understand tor business, product category, target margins, MOQ needs, timelines, and specific requirements. NDA available.
Within 24 hours: detailed proposal with scope, deliverables, timeline, fixed cost. No upfront fee. No commitment until you approve.
I do the on-ground work. Daily/weekly updates with photos, contact lists, sample status. Adjust scope as needed.
Final report with all findings, supplier contacts, sample shipments, recommendations. Q&A session included.
Continued help as you transition to direct supplier relationships. Retainer option available for regular needs.
I work on projects starting from $100 (e.g., quick supplier vetting). However, factory audits, bulk supplier discovery, and trade fair attendance typically start at $250-500. For ongoing retainers, minimum 10 hours/month ($300+).
NDA available on request. I sign mutual non-disclosure for sensitive product specs, target margins, supplier relationships. 5-star Fiverr track record + verifiable Bangladesh business identity provides accountability. My reputation is my business — protecting client confidentiality is core to that.
I avoid: weapons, regulated chemicals, anything ethically questionable, products requiring specialized certifications I'm not familiar with (medical devices Class III, aerospace, etc.). I'll honestly tell you if your category is outside my expertise and refer you elsewhere.
Bangladesh doesn't have a direct 1688/Alibaba equivalent. The main online platforms (BD Apparels, Daraz B2B) are limited. Most sourcing happens through trade fairs, direct factory contact, and broker networks. That's exactly where I add value — providing the ground-level access that online platforms don't offer.
Multiple options: Wise (cheapest, best rates), Payoneer, Fiverr platform (for new clients who prefer escrow), bank wire to my Bangladesh account, PayPal for smaller amounts. I'm flexible — whatever's easiest for tor business.
Yes — see my Travel Guide service. I combine business meeting logistics with country exposure: factory tours, supplier meetings, optional cultural/tourist time. Many international buyers visit Bangladesh once before committing to long-term sourcing.
Varies by category: Garments: 60-90 days for new orders, 45-60 for repeat. Pharmaceuticals: 30-60 days. Jute/handicrafts: 30-90 days. Leather goods: 60-120 days. Add 15-30 days for sea shipping (USA/UK), 5-10 days for air freight. Chinese New Year and Eid holidays cause production gaps.
Garment MOQs are typically 500-5000 pieces per style depending on factory tier. Pharmaceuticals: case-by-case. Small handicraft producers will work with 100-500 unit MOQs. Aarong and similar branded suppliers have their own MOQ rules. I help you find suppliers matching your MOQ comfort zone.
