This document reviews different forms used for business start-ups in Bangladesh and analyzes them for gender perspectives. It provides a table that lists 22 forms across various government ministries and departments, the number of pages in each form, whether the form is overall gender neutral, any gender biased sections, and any additional reforms needed to make the forms more women friendly. Key findings are that some forms like the importers and exporters order and the societies registration act mainly focus on males and need revisions to be more inclusive of women.
