Business Setup and Support in Bulgaria

Comprehensive business launch in Bulgaria: company registration, legal address, bank account, accounting support, VAT, and further legal services.

Bulgaria is a practical jurisdiction for entrepreneurs due to low tax rates, a simple registration procedure, and access to the EU market. This makes it an attractive option for small and medium-sized businesses.

The law firm Prikhodko & Partners is one of the leading partners for Ukrainian business in matters of company registration and support in Bulgaria. We support clients comprehensively: from choosing the company form and preparing documents to business registration, opening a corporate account, preparing for bank KYC/AML compliance, VAT, accounting, and tax support.

We work with Ukrainian and international owners, coordinate the process with local partners, and support the business after launch. During the consultation, the lawyer will determine the optimal structure, documents, deadlines, and next steps — from accounting and corporate changes to contracts or legal services.

Advantages of doing business in Bulgaria

Low taxes. The corporate tax is 10%, one of the lowest rates in Europe. The dividend tax is also low — 5%.
Simple registration procedure. From the moment documents are submitted to receiving the certificate, it usually takes from 3 to 14 working days.
European integration. Bulgaria is an EU member, which guarantees compliance with business standards, the reliability of the legal framework, and market openness.
Affordable operating costs. The costs for office rent, labor, and other administrative services are significantly lower here than in Western Europe.

Main stages of business registration in Bulgaria

Choosing the legal form. The most popular form for business is a limited liability company (OOD). You can also choose sole proprietorship or a joint-stock company. The choice depends on business goals, planned business volumes, and capital needs.
Preparation and submission of documents. The main package includes an application for registration, the company’s articles of association, a resolution on establishment, founders’ documents, a sample of the director’s signature, as well as confirmation of the deposit of share capital. Documents are submitted to the Commercial Register or through authorized representatives. The cost of registration varies from 50 to 150 euros depending on the method of submission and the type of company.
Opening a bank account and depositing share capital. To register a business, you need to open a temporary account in a Bulgarian bank, into which the share capital is deposited. The minimum capital is usually 1 euro for an OOD, which makes this process accessible even for small companies.
Registration with tax authorities. After the company is entered into the Commercial Register, it is necessary to register as a taxpayer and (if necessary) a VAT payer if the annual turnover exceeds 85,000 euros. Tax registration is accompanied by obtaining identification codes.

Legal support after company registration

Registering a company in Bulgaria is only the first stage of launching a business. After creating the company, you may need corporate changes, contracts with counterparties, accounting and tax support, opening accounts, VAT / EORI, or communication with banks and local consultants.

Prikhodko & Partners supports businesses not only at the registration stage but also after launch, so the company can operate in a structured manner, without unnecessary bureaucracy and mistakes in documents.

Frequently asked questions

Is a corporate account required for a company in Bulgaria?

Yes, an account is an important stage in launching a company. First, an account is opened to deposit the share capital, and after business registration — the main corporate account for operational activities. The bank may verify the ownership structure, source of funds, business model, and future operations of the company.

Is it possible to register a company in Bulgaria remotely?

In many cases, the process can be organized remotely or with minimal personal involvement of the owner. Everything depends on the company structure, bank, identification requirements, signing of documents, and subsequent actions after registration.

What is more difficult: registering a company or opening an account?

For foreign owners, opening a corporate account is often a more sensitive stage than the company registration itself. The bank may check the source of funds, ownership structure, field of activity, counterparties, and countries where the business operates. Therefore, it is important to prepare the company for bank verification even before submitting an application.

What needs to be done after registering a company in Bulgaria?

After registering a business, it is usually necessary to organize a corporate account, accounting support, tax model, VAT or EORI if needed, an electronic signature, contracts with counterparties, and internal corporate documents. These are the exact steps that turn a registered company into a ready-to-work business.
