LEGAL SUPPORT FOR BUSINESS (FIRM) IN ROMUNIA
Romania, as one of the most dynamic economies in Europe, offers ample opportunities for doing business.
Convenient geographical location, access to the European market, favorable tax conditions and rapid infrastructure development make this country attractive for investors. However, like any other market, the Romanian market has its own legal peculiarities that require a professional approach.
Legal support for business in Romania is the key to a successful start and further development of your company.
Company registration in Romania
Business registration in Romania —this is the first and very important step.
Legal support at this stage includes:
- Choice of organizational and legal form. The most popular forms are the Limited Liability Company (SRL) and the Joint Stock Company (SA). The choice depends on the amount of investment, the number of founders and other factors.
- Preparation of documents. For registration, it is necessary to prepare constituent documents, register the company charter and provide proof of legal address.
- Opening a bank account. Legal support includes assistance in choosing a bank and opening an account for the formation of authorized capital.
- Registration in the trade register. The final stage of registration, which officially confirms the existence of the company.
The law firm “Prikhodko and Partners” will help you to go through all stages of business registration in Romania quickly and without unnecessary complications.
Taxation and accounting
Romania offers some of the lowest corporate tax rates in the EU.
The main taxes that a company must pay include:
- Corporate tax — 16%.
- Tax on dividends — 5%
- VAT — the standard rate is 19%, the reduced rate is 9% and 5% for certain types of goods and services.
However, the tax system has its own nuances, in particular in the area of reporting and tax benefits. Qualified legal support will help optimize tax costs and ensure compliance of your business with current legislation.

Certain types of activities in Romania may require special licenses or permits. For example, in the field of construction, energy, pharmaceuticals or financial services.

Is it mandatory to have a legal address in Romania?
Yes. During registration, you must provide a document confirming the right to use the premises at the address of the future registered office. For foreign owners, this can be a lease agreement or a legal address service.
Is it necessary to immediately register as a VAT payer?
Not always. The need for VAT registration depends on the planned turnover, type of activity, work with EU clients, imports or exports, and other specifics of the business model. Before launching, it is worth assessing the tax burden and choosing the optimal registration option.
Why shouldn't you just add all possible CAEN codes to the company?
Activity codes affect not only formal registration but also bank compliance, contracts, obtaining permits, and further business scaling. From 2025, the CAEN Rev. 3 classifier is applied in Romania, so the list of codes is better formed according to the actual sources of income and the planned work model.
