Bulgarian Company Registration in 2025 – Complete Guide for Foreigners
Starting a business in Bulgaria is one of the most cost-effective ways to enter the European market. With low taxes, quick registration, and flexible company types, Bulgaria attracts thousands of foreign entrepreneurs every year. In this guide, you will learn more about Bulgarian Company Registration in 2025– whether you plan to do it remotely or by visiting in person.
Why Choose Bulgaria for Your Business?
Bulgaria offers a 10% corporate tax, affordable labor, and easy EU market access. Registration is fast – usually within 3 working days. The process is simple even for non-residents, and you can manage everything remotely with the right local partner.
Choosing the Right Company Type
The most common company type for foreigners is the OOD (Limited Liability Company). It is suitable for almost any business activity, protects your personal assets, and requires minimal capital. If you are the only owner, you can register an EOOD (Single-Owner Limited Liability Company).
| Company Type | Best For | Number of Owners | Liability |
|---|---|---|---|
| EOOD | Freelancers, small businesses, single entrepreneurs | 1 owner | Limited to company assets |
| OOD | Businesses with partners or investors | 2 or more owners | Limited to company assets |
Documents You Need
The basic set of documents for company registration includes:
- Valid passport copy of all owners
- Proposed company name and business activity
- Registered Bulgarian address (virtual office is possible)
- Power of attorney if registering remotely
Bank Account and Capital
The minimum capital is only 2 BGN (about 1 EUR). You must open an accumulation (capital deposit) bank account. If you are in Bulgaria, you can visit the bank in person. If you prefer a remote setup, we assist with banks that allow online opening.
Step-by-Step Registration Process
Once documents are ready, the steps are as follows:
- Preparation of all incorporation documents by a local accountant or lawyer
- Submission to the Commercial Register
- Company registration approval (1–3 working days)
Remote vs. In-Person Registration
You can choose one of two options:
- In-person: You visit Bulgaria, sign all documents, and open the bank account yourself.
- Remote: We act on your behalf via a notarized power of attorney. All steps – from bank account opening to document submission – are handled by us.
VAT Registration – Do You Need It?
VAT registration is not mandatory from day one unless you reach the annual turnover threshold or operate in specific industries. However, if you work with EU clients, it is recommended. We help with VAT and OSS registration to ensure compliance.
Post-Registration Support
After registration, we provide full business support, including:
- Accounting and tax compliance
- Payroll and HR management
- VAT and OSS reporting
- Business consulting and financial planning
Registering a company in Bulgaria is a fast and straightforward process, especially with professional assistance. Whether you choose to set up remotely or in person, the cost and time involved are minimal compared to other EU countries.
