In recent years, the Balkan region has become a true hub for new business initiatives. Countries like Bulgaria attract entrepreneurs from all over the world with some of the lowest taxes in the European Union (10% corporate tax), a stable economy, and a strategic geographical location.
The best news for modern businesses is that you no longer need to waste time in lines, travel, or fill out complicated folders of paperwork. Today, company registration (LLC / OOD) can be done entirely online, within a few working days. The only thing required from you is one short visit to a notary – no matter where you are currently located in the world.
How Does Remote Company Registration Work?
The process is maximally simplified and fully digitalized to save you time, stress, and unnecessary expenses for transport and hotels. Here is how it works step-by-step:
Step 1: Online Consultation and Document Preparation
You choose the company name, capital amount, and business activities. Our corporate lawyers draft the full package of documents (Articles of Association, minutes, declarations under the Commercial Act) and send them to you via email in a ready-to-print format.
Step 2: Notary Verification in Your Country of Residence
This is the only physical step you need to take, and it can be done from anywhere across the globe:
-
At a Local Notary: You can visit a local notary in the country where you live (Germany, Serbia, Turkey, the UK, etc.). Depending on the country, the documents are verified with an Apostille or under bilateral legal assistance treaties, and then sent back to us for professional translation and legalization.
-
At a Bulgarian Consulate or Embassy: If you choose this option, the documents are verified directly by a Bulgarian consular officer and are ready for immediate use in Bulgaria, without the need for additional translation.
Step 3: Remote Opening of a Capital Bank Account
The company's capital (which in Bulgaria can be a symbolic 2 BGN) must be deposited into a bank account. We will assist you with opening a capital account remotely, and the receipt issued by the bank will be scanned and attached to the document package.
Step 4: Electronic Filing in the Commercial Register
Once you send us the scanned, notarized documents, we submit them to the Commercial Register electronically using a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES). Using a QES not only speeds up the procedure but also cuts government fees in half.
How Long Does It Take to Open the Company?
Once the documents are submitted to the Commercial Register, the official incorporation of the new company takes between 24 and 48 hours (1-2 business days). The entire process – from our initial conversation to the moment your company is fully ready to operate and issue invoices – takes just a few days.
