Company incorporation in Bulgaria + banking introduction* + guaranteed EU (European Union) VAT number

One of the most important advantages of Company incorporation in Bulgaria for EU citizens is access to the European single market. As Bulgaria is an EU Member State, companies incorporated in the country can enjoy the benefits of the free movement of goods, services, capital and labour within the EU.

Many expatriates come to Bulgaria with the idea of setting up a new business or moving the one they have in their country of origin, to take advantage of the favourable tax regime (10% corporation tax) and the business climate.

Bulgaria has a fast company registration process, particularly for non-residents. Note that you can register a company here without necessarily coming to Bulgaria.

It is important to know that foreigners face legal restrictions on buying land in Bulgaria; however, these restrictions do not apply to cross-border businesses in Europe.

On the contrary, cross-border companies in Europe can buy and own land in Bulgaria without any restrictions; as far as company operations are concerned, the company does not incur any costs after registration unless it is operational.

Before starting the procedure for registering your company, you will need to think about these requirements:

  • your company must have an address in Bulgaria (don’t worry, we’ll provide it for you, it’s included in our package),
  • your company must have initial capital, which must be deposited in a local bank (we’ll take care of this, the share capital can be as little as €1),
  • you must choose a name and a scope of activity for your company (once you have ordered your Company incorporation in Bulgaria, you will automatically receive a Company incorporation form to fill in, in which you will indicate your choice of company name (3 choices), future activity, etc…

Very important: choose the legal form of your company

There are several options, the most common of which are:

  • “One Person Limited Liability Company” (EOOD) – an entity with a single owner with limited liability
  • “Private Limited Liability Company (OOD) – owned by two or more limited liability partners
  • “Sole Proprietor” (ET) – very small business (full owner liability)
  • “Freelance – sole trader
  • “Public Limited Company (AD) – joint stock company – commercial company whose capital is held by its members
  • “Branch in Bulgaria” – foreign legal entities registered abroad may register a branch in Bulgaria

Step 1 : Company name and activity

Vous devez choisir un nom de société et son activité, qui seront les marqueurs de votre entreprise sur le marché ainsi que devant l’administration bulgare.

Step 2 : Register your business address

Registering your address is the next compulsory step in the process of setting up your company. Your company must have a Bulgarian address.

Step 3 : Registration on the official government register

Under Bulgarian law, any new company must be registered in the official commercial register accessible to the public.

The procedure for registering a company in Bulgaria does not differ when local or cross-border persons in Europe are part of or own the company.

Under Bulgarian law, there is no restriction on the size of the foreign shareholding in the capital of a Bulgarian company and, therefore, up to 100% of the share capital of a local company may be held by foreign persons.

The minimum capital required to register a limited liability company in Bulgaria is BGN 2 (EUR 1).

It is also essential to know that Bulgarian company laws do not discriminate against foreign companies. Accordingly, a foreigner who registers a company in Bulgaria enjoys the same privileges and is subject to the same business conditions as local companies.

Who can register a company in Bulgaria?

Anyone who has reached the age of 18, regardless of citizenship. There are basically no formal requirements or conditions for foreign citizens wishing to register a company. It does not matter whether you are an EU citizen or not.

What type of company should I register?

The type of company you are looking for is almost certainly an OOD. These are the widely known and preferred limited liability companies around the world – LLC or Ltd. For much larger businesses, it may be appropriate to register a company limited by shares, but these cases are very rare.

What should you bear in mind?

First of all, you need to know that in Bulgaria, you can only register a company with a name written in Cyrillic. You are free to add a name in Latin, but it must match the Cyrillic name. The name must also be available, i.e. there must be no company with the same name already registered. We take care of everything.

Company registration documents must be drawn up in Bulgarian. You can also use bilingual documents, but translation into Bulgarian is essential. Once again, we take care of everything.

Companies incorporation in Bulgaria offers a favorable environment, with relatively straightforward procedures and an attractive tax regime. Once the company has been registered and is up and running, you need to make sure that you comply with the legal, tax and accounting requirements in force in Bulgaria. It is worth consulting an expert in Companies incorporation in Bulgaria, to help you throughout the process of setting up your company.

Company incorporation in Bulgaria

Setting up a company in Bulgaria can be an attractive proposition, thanks to its favorable tax environment and relatively low costs. Here are the main steps involved in setting up a company in Bulgaria:

1. Choosing the type of company

The most common type of company set up in Bulgaria is the limited liability company (OOD), but there are also other types such as the joint-stock company (AD) and the sole proprietorship (ET).

2. Reserving the company name
The company name must be unique and not already registered. You can check the availability of the name via the Bulgarian Commercial Register.

3. Drafting the articles of association
The company’s articles of association must be drafted and include information such as the company name, the address of the registered office, the main activities, details of the partners, and the share capital.

4. Opening a bank account
A bank account must be opened in the company’s name to deposit the required minimum share capital (for an OOD, the minimum capital is BGN 2).

5. Company registration
The company must be registered with the Bulgarian Commercial Register. The necessary documents include the articles of association, proof of deposit of share capital, a declaration of consent by the managing directors, and a certificate of absence of criminal convictions for the managing directors.

6. VAT registration
If the company’s annual sales exceed BGN 50,000, it is compulsory to register for VAT. However, voluntary registration is also possible before this threshold is reached.

7. Registration with tax and social security authorities
The company must register with the National Revenue Agency (NRA) to obtain a tax identification number and ensure compliance with social security obligations.

8. Compliance with accounting and tax obligations
Accurate bookkeeping and compliance with tax and reporting obligations are essential. In Bulgaria, tax returns are generally made annually, and accounts must be audited if certain conditions are met.
