Why foreign founders choose us
Your matter is led by an experienced lawyer from the first call to the final filing, not passed down the line.
English, Georgian and Russian, in writing and in meetings, with Georgian documents explained before you sign them.
Professional secrecy on every matter; a non-disclosure agreement signed before you share documents, if you wish.
Published starting fees, a fixed written quote, and government fees passed on at cost without a margin.
Questions founders ask
Yes. You sign a power of attorney before a notary in your country and have it apostilled (or legalised where the apostille does not apply). We arrange the certified Georgian translation, file with the Public Registry and send you the registration documents.
Yes. Georgian law sets no nationality or residence requirement for the director or the shareholders of an LLC. A non-resident director may still need a residence basis to stay in Georgia beyond the visa-free period.
No. An LLC can be registered without a minimum capital contribution.
Only individual entrepreneurs, not companies. The status applies while annual turnover does not exceed 500,000 GEL and the activity is not excluded; activities that require a licence or permit and certain professional services are excluded. We confirm eligibility before you register.
A Georgian company pays 15% profit tax only when profit is distributed to the owners, and on certain payments treated as distributions. Profit that stays in the company and is reinvested is not taxed.
Yes, subject to the bank's own compliance review, which no adviser can guarantee. Some banks onboard companies remotely; individuals are usually asked to attend in person.
Yes. Every company must have a registered legal address in Georgia, with the owner's consent. If you have no premises, we can provide one for twelve months.
Registration itself takes one working day once the documents are ready (same day for a higher fee). With documents signed abroad and a bank account, plan for one to three weeks from start to finish.
Next step
A few short questions, then a lawyer replies within one business day with an assessment and, where possible, a fixed fee.
