Frequently Asked Questions About Company Registration in Georgia
Do I need to be physically present in Georgia for company registration?
No, it's not necessary. The process can be handled entirely remotely through a power of attorney: we take care of filing with the business registry while you stay wherever you are.
Is there a minimum capital requirement to set up a company?
No. Georgia has no minimum share capital requirement: a company can be set up even with zero capital.
Are there limits on foreign ownership or the number of directors?
No. A Georgian company can be 100% owned by foreign nationals, even by a single person who is both the sole shareholder and director, with no limit on the number of directors that can be appointed.
What's the difference between an LLC and Individual Entrepreneur status?
An LLC (Limited Liability Company) is a capital company with liability limited to company assets, suited to structuring a more complex business; Individual Entrepreneur is a simplified status, often chosen by freelancers and small individual businesses.
Is the company register in Georgia public?
Yes, Georgia has an open company register where shareholder and director details can be looked up. If this raises privacy concerns for you, we can suggest ways to limit exposure of your personal data.
Can I start a company in Georgia without transferring my tax residency?
Yes, setting up a company in Georgia does not in itself require transferring your tax residency — they are two separate processes, though often considered together by those planning a broader relocation.
