Business Setup and Support in Bulgaria
Registering and supporting a business in Bulgaria is a promising choice for entrepreneurs thanks to favorable business conditions, low tax rates, and a simple setup process. As a member of the European Union, Bulgaria provides access to the EU market, making it an attractive jurisdiction for small and medium-sized businesses.
The law firm “Prykhodko & Partners” specializes in the comprehensive support of individuals and companies in Bulgaria — from business registration (including with foreign capital) to accounting, opening bank accounts, financial monitoring, and legal audit (due diligence).
We have deep expertise in local legal and administrative procedures and cooperate with Bulgarian state and financial institutions, enabling our clients to save time and avoid bureaucratic hurdles.
Advantages of doing business in Bulgaria
- Low taxes. Corporate income tax is 10% — among the lowest in Europe. Dividend tax is also low — 5%.
- Simple registration process. From filing documents to obtaining a certificate usually takes 3 to 14 business days.
- EU integration. Bulgaria is an EU member state, ensuring adherence to business standards, a reliable legal environment, and an open market.
- Affordable operating costs. Office rent, payroll, and other administrative services are significantly cheaper than in Western Europe.
Main stages of company registration in Bulgaria
- Choosing the legal form. The most popular form is a limited liability company (OOD). You may also choose a sole proprietorship or a joint-stock company. The choice depends on your business goals, expected activity volume, and capital needs.
- Preparing and filing documents. The core package includes an application for registration, the company’s Articles of Association, the incorporation decision, founders’ documents, the director’s specimen signature, and proof of paid-in share capital. Documents are filed with the Commercial Register or via authorized representatives. The registration fee ranges from €50 to €150 depending on filing method and company type.
- Opening a bank account and paying in share capital. To register the company, you must open a temporary account with a Bulgarian bank to deposit the share capital. The minimum is typically €1 for an OOD, making the process accessible even for small companies.
- Tax registration. After entry into the Commercial Register, you must register for taxes and (if needed) for VAT if your annual turnover exceeds €85,000. Registration includes obtaining identification codes.
Legal support for your business
For successful operations in Bulgaria, we recommend legal support that includes:
- advice on choosing the optimal business form;
- drafting and reviewing incorporation documents;
- assistance with opening bank accounts;
- liaising with tax and other supervisory authorities;
- drafting contracts with counterparties and ensuring legal compliance.
Legal support helps avoid mistakes, reduce risks related to administrative procedures, and ensure transparent business operations — especially important for foreign investors and entrepreneurs.
