Query
I just graduated from University. I am looking forward to setting up a website like the ones which are advertised everywhere as 'click to earn'. I was wondering what legal processes I am required to follow in order to do so.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Response
Thank you for your query. You wanted to know the legal procedure for setting up a website with a provision for "clik to earn". It is, however, not clear what you meant by such a website. If you meant that you will sale your website space to your potential client for their advertisement, then the following steps will have to be taken:

(a) Registration of domain name. While obtaining registration of a domain name, you need to be aware of the fact that you will not be allowed registration of a domain name which is a trade name of another company.

(b) Development of your website. This will involve creating content for the website as well as designing the same. In developing content and designing the site, you should not copy the intellectual property of another website.

(c) Obtain regulatory approval for doing business in Bangladesh. These would involve obtaining (i) a Trade License from the local authority, (ii) Tax Identification Number from the local income tax office, (iii) VAT registration with the relevant VAT Office and (iv) membership with the relevant trade association.

Once you take the above steps, you are ready to start your business. Good luck.
