Investment advisory, market research and feasibility studies, strategic partnership development, project facilitation and government liaison, incentive and regulatory (BOI) guidance, and aftercare and expansion support.
Tourism and real estate (hotels, resorts and luxury residential), manufacturing and industry, green energy (solar, wind, biogas) and technology and innovation are the main sectors we work in.
The Board of Investment of Sri Lanka (BOI) is the apex investment-promotion agency and a single-window facilitator: it attracts, approves and supports foreign and local investment, from site selection and statutory approvals to aftercare. As published by the BOI, more than 1,600 companies operate under it, accounting for 64% of national exports and 485,000 direct cumulative jobs. A project may be eligible for BOI incentives, subject to BOI approval terms and conditions. See our Investment Guide for published incentives and process, or ask Kenglobe Lanka to guide you through BOI approval.
Official guidance distinguishes Section 17 of the BOI Law (new or expanding BOI companies entering an incentive agreement) from Section 16 (foreign shareholding in a company that is not eligible for Section 17, or a share issue or transfer in a non-BOI company). Company names are checked under the Companies Act No. 7 of 2007, and BOI-approved projects must obtain prior approval of draft Articles of Association before incorporation. Kenglobe Lanka guides you through BOI approval; we do not publish government application portals on this site.
In the Investment Incentives summary dated 9 September 2026, the standard corporate income tax rate is 30%, with a 45% rate (since 1 April 2025) for betting, gaming, liquor and tobacco, and a 15% rate for the export of services including ICT and for certain foreign-source income in foreign currency. Export-oriented projects may receive customs-duty exemptions on capital goods and raw materials, and Strategic Development Projects (from above USD 50 million, under a February 2026 regulation) may receive corporate-tax holidays of 5–10 years. Confirm current rules before relying on any figure.
