Case: Registering a company in Bulgaria for a Ukrainian
Service: Business Registration in Bulgaria
In October 2025, a Ukrainian entrepreneur contacted the law firm “Prikhodko & Partners” with the goal of establishing a company in Bulgaria for IT consulting and foreign economic activity. The main requirement was to obtain a fully functional company with an active bank account in the shortest possible time.
Stages of Service Delivery
- Consultation: We identified the optimal legal form (EOOD — a limited liability company with a single owner) and prepared a list of required registration documents.
- Preparation of incorporation documents: Remote notarization was arranged, a certificate of no criminal record was obtained, and all translations were completed.
- Company registration: The application was promptly submitted to the Commercial Register, and the registration certificate was issued.
- Opening a bank account: The firm provided comprehensive support in opening a corporate account in a Bulgarian bank. Thanks to a properly prepared document package and relevant bank recommendations, the account was opened in just 2 business days — an excellent result for a non-resident.
Documents Required
- Owner’s international passport
- Company charter and incorporation resolution
- Company registration documents
- Identification code
Result for the Client
- A fully registered company with all incorporation documents prepared
- An active corporate bank account opened only 2 days after receiving the registration documents
- All communications with the bank were fully handled by Prikhodko & Partners
- Accounting support and tax planning consultations
Bulgaria is one of the few EU countries where it is possible to quickly open a corporate bank account even for a non-resident, provided there is professional legal support and high-quality document preparation.
