How to relocate a company to Bulgaria
According to the Company Act in Bulgaria, the most common way of relocating a company to this country is the registration of a limited liability company with a sole shareholder. Setting up this type of company is rather short (approximately a week) and it can start operating immediately. We provide you with a list of things to do in order to relocate to Bulgaria:
• Prepare the necessary documents for company incorporation;
• Open a bank account and deposit the minimum capital for the new company – this is just 1 EUR;
• Register for tax purposes and VAT – this usually takes about two weeks to complete, but is tax free;
• Find a business address for the company.
Regardless of the activities, you want to carry out, we invite you to contact our accountants in Bulgaria. They have the right experience to implement the necessary procedures in the company. Bookkeeping, payroll, audits, tax registration, and tax minimization methods are among the most important tasks that come to the attention of a certified accountant.
