🇪🇺 EU · For International Entrepreneurs
Company setup in Bulgaria, without guessing the process
If you are planning to run business through an EU company, Bulgaria is often worth considering because the structure is relatively clear, the costs are easier to estimate and the tax framework is predictable.
Before anything is started, we help you understand the practical side: what documents are needed, how the setup works, when VAT registration may be relevant, what accounting support is required and what ongoing obligations come after the company is formed.
This is useful for consultants, online businesses, service providers and founders who want an EU base, but first need a realistic view of whether Bulgaria fits their business model.
Important Information
These are the key points foreign founders usually need before starting a Bulgarian company.
Foreign citizens can own and manage a Bulgarian company. Bulgarian residence is not normally required to become a shareholder or director.
The formation process can usually be handled remotely with a Power of Attorney and prepared incorporation documents.
A registered address in Sofia, VAT registration, business banking assistance and accounting services can be arranged where needed.
