Q: 6. What is the cost of company registration in Georgia?

The cost of company registration in Georgia varies depending on the services required. Government filing fees are modest — among the lowest of any jurisdiction globally. When professional services are included, pricing depends on the scope of support: basic registration, tax registration, banking support, and ongoing compliance services each carry different costs. Leadforce offers transparent, fixed-price packages to eliminate uncertainty. Contact our team or request a pricing consultation to receive a quote tailored to your specific requirements.

Question 1

1. How do I register a company in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Company registration in Georgia is completed through the National Agency of Public Registry. The process requires submitting your company name, articles of association, shareholder and director details, and a registered legal address. A tax identification number is issued simultaneously or shortly after. With Leadforce managing the process, all documentation is prepared, reviewed, and filed on your behalf — reducing errors, delays, and the need for you to navigate Georgian administrative systems independently. The entire process can be completed remotely.

Question 2

2. Can foreigners register a company in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Georgia imposes no restrictions on foreign ownership of locally registered companies. Non-residents and foreign nationals can own 100% of a Georgian entity without requiring a local partner, nominee director, or Georgian co-shareholder. This applies to all standard business structures available under Georgian law, including the Limited Liability Company and the Joint Stock Company. Leadforce specialises in non-resident company registration in Georgia and manages the full process remotely on behalf of international clients.

Question 3

3. How long does company registration in Georgia take?

Accepted Answer

Standard company registration with the National Agency of Public Registry is processed within one to three business days in Georgia. Tax identification number issuance typically follows within one to two additional business days. When Leadforce manages the submission, documents are prepared to the exact standard required by Georgian authorities, eliminating delays caused by incomplete or incorrectly formatted filings. Total end-to-end completion, including banking, typically ranges from seven to twenty-one business days.

Question 4

4. What documents are required for company registration in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Required documents include a certified copy of your passport, proof of residential address dated within three months, your proposed company name, shareholder and director details, a description of your intended business activities, and a registered legal address in Georgia. For remote registration, a notarised power of attorney authorising Leadforce to act on your behalf is also required. Leadforce prepares all documentation and advises on notarisation or apostille requirements based on your country of residence.

Question 5

5. Can I register a Georgian company remotely?

Accepted Answer

Yes, entirely. Georgia's National Agency of Public Registry accepts registrations submitted via an authorised representative acting under a power of attorney. This means you do not need to travel to Georgia at any stage of the registration process. Leadforce manages the entire process remotely — from document preparation and power of attorney drafting to filing, tax registration, and banking introduction. Physical presence in Georgia is not required at any stage when working with Leadforce.

Question 6

6. What is the cost of company registration in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

The cost of company registration in Georgia depends on the business structure, registration urgency, legal address requirements, and additional services such as VAT registration or banking support.

Typical costs may include:

Government registration fees
Legal address provision
Documentation preparation
Tax registration
Banking assistance
Ongoing compliance support

Leadforce provides transparent pricing tailored to your business requirements.

Question 7

7. Is there a minimum share capital requirement in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Georgia does not impose a statutory minimum share capital requirement for Limited Liability Companies. Founders are free to set their own share capital value at incorporation, which significantly reduces the financial barrier to registration compared with jurisdictions that mandate substantial paid-up capital. For Joint Stock Companies, a minimum capital threshold applies. Leadforce will advise on appropriate share capital structuring based on your business objectives and any applicable banking or regulatory considerations.

Question 8

8. Is Georgia a good jurisdiction for company formation?

Accepted Answer

Georgia consistently ranks among the world's top jurisdictions for ease of doing business. It offers 100% foreign ownership, a flat 15% corporate income tax rate, a territorial tax system, rapid registration timelines, and free trade agreements with the EU, China, and CIS countries. For international entrepreneurs seeking a tax-efficient, low-bureaucracy, strategically located business base, Georgia represents exceptional value. Leadforce has successfully registered companies in Georgia for clients from over sixty countries across every major industry sector.

Question 9

9. Can I open a bank account after company registration in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Corporate bank account opening is available immediately following company registration. Leadforce introduces registered clients directly to our network of Georgian partner banks, including TBC Bank, Bank of Georgia, and Liberty Bank, among others. Our introductions are professionally packaged with all required documentation, significantly improving approval rates for non-resident applicants. Banking approval timelines vary by institution but typically range from five to fifteen business days following a complete application submission.

Question 10

10. Which business structure is best for company registration in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

The Limited Liability Company is the most widely used structure for foreign entrepreneurs registering in Georgia. It offers flexible ownership, no minimum capital requirement, limited liability protection, and straightforward governance. Joint Stock Companies are better suited for businesses planning to raise institutional investment or list shares. Branch offices are appropriate for foreign companies establishing a Georgian operational presence without creating a separate legal entity. Leadforce assesses your specific business objectives and recommends the most suitable structure before any filing begins.

Question 11

11. Do I need to be physically present in Georgia to register a company?

Accepted Answer

No. Physical presence is not required for company registration in Georgia when you work with an authorised representative. Leadforce operates a fully remote registration process, supported by a notarised power of attorney that authorises us to act on your behalf across all registration, tax, and administrative filings. This makes Georgia one of the most accessible jurisdictions in the world for international entrepreneurs who prefer to manage the process without international travel.

Question 12

12. Do I need a local director for a Georgian company?

Accepted Answer

No. Georgian law does not require a locally resident director for Limited Liability Companies. Foreign nationals can serve as sole directors of their Georgian entities without restriction. There is no requirement for a nominee director arrangement. This is a significant advantage over jurisdictions that mandate local director requirements, which can increase complexity, cost, and governance risk. Leadforce can advise on director appointment best practices based on your intended banking relationships and operational requirements.

Question 13

13. What taxes apply to companies registered in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Georgian companies are subject to a 15% corporate income tax on distributed profits. Retained and reinvested profits are not taxed until distribution, providing a meaningful tax deferral advantage. VAT is charged at 18% on qualifying supplies, with a registration threshold of 100,000 Georgian Lari in annual turnover. Dividend withholding tax applies at 5%. Companies qualifying for Georgia's Virtual Zone status may be exempt from corporate income tax on internationally sourced revenue. Leadforce provides tax registration support and connects clients with qualified Georgian tax advisers as part of our service.

Question 14

14. Can I buy a shelf company in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pre-registered shelf companies are available in Georgia for entrepreneurs who require an entity with an established registration date. Shelf companies can be useful for specific commercial or banking purposes where company age is a relevant factor. Leadforce can source and transfer a suitable Georgia shelf company on your behalf, with full due diligence to confirm the entity's clean history prior to acquisition. Contact our team to discuss shelf company availability and transfer timelines.

Question 15

15. How does Georgia compare to Estonia for company registration?

Accepted Answer

Both Georgia and Estonia are highly regarded low-tax jurisdictions popular with international entrepreneurs. Estonia offers the e-Residency programme and EU membership, which provides access to European markets and banking. Georgia offers a lower effective tax rate, no minimum share capital, faster registration timelines, and lower operating costs. Georgia's Virtual Zone is particularly advantageous for IT companies. The best choice depends on your target markets, banking requirements, and long-term business structure. Leadforce advises clients across both jurisdictions and can provide a tailored comparison based on your specific situation.

Question 16

16. How does Georgia compare to the UAE for company formation?

Accepted Answer

The UAE offers free zone structures with zero corporate tax and no personal income tax, but setup costs are significantly higher, minimum capital requirements apply in certain zones, and visa requirements introduce complexity for some nationalities. Georgia offers lower registration costs, no minimum capital, 100% foreign ownership, and simpler ongoing compliance. For entrepreneurs prioritising low cost, speed, and tax efficiency without the overhead of UAE free zone requirements, Georgia is frequently the stronger choice. Leadforce operates in both jurisdictions and can provide a structured side-by-side analysis.

Question 17

17. What is the Georgia Virtual Zone and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Georgia's Virtual Zone is a special tax status available to companies providing information technology services to clients outside Georgia. Qualifying Virtual Zone companies pay 0% corporate income tax on internationally earned IT revenue, making it one of the most tax-efficient structures available anywhere in the world for technology businesses. Application is made separately from standard company registration. Leadforce assists clients with Virtual Zone eligibility assessment and application as part of our Corporate package, ensuring the correct entity structure and activity description are in place from the outset.

Question 18

18. Is Georgia company registration suitable for e-commerce businesses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Georgia is an excellent jurisdiction for e-commerce businesses operating internationally. The territorial tax system means foreign-sourced e-commerce revenue benefits from the 15% corporate rate only on distributions, and VAT registration is only required above the 100,000 GEL threshold. Georgian companies can hold merchant accounts, payment processor relationships, and international banking facilities. Leadforce has successfully registered Georgian entities for e-commerce clients across fashion, electronics, digital goods, dropshipping, and marketplace businesses, providing both registration and banking support.

Question 19

19. Can I register multiple companies in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is no legal restriction on the number of Georgian companies a single foreign individual or corporate entity can own or control. Entrepreneurs and corporate groups frequently use multiple Georgian entities for different business lines, operational purposes, or holding structures. Leadforce manages multi-entity registration programmes for corporate clients and can structure your Georgian corporate group to optimise ownership, liability separation, and tax efficiency across multiple entities.

Question 20

20. What is the Georgian commercial register and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

The Georgian commercial register is maintained by the National Agency of Public Registry, which operates under the Ministry of Justice of Georgia. All legal business entities in Georgia must be registered with this agency to obtain legal status. The register is publicly accessible and records key company information including name, registration number, legal address, shareholders, and directors. Leadforce files all company registration applications directly with the National Agency of Public Registry and manages all correspondence with the registry on behalf of our clients.

Question 21

21. Does Leadforce provide a registered legal address in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A registered legal address in Georgia is a mandatory requirement for company registration. Leadforce provides a compliant registered address at a recognised commercial location in Tbilisi as part of our service packages. This address is used for all official government correspondence, registry filings, and tax communications. The address is included for twelve months and can be renewed annually. Clients do not need to arrange their own Georgian address at any point during the registration process.

Question 22

22. What happens after my Georgia company is registered?

Accepted Answer

Following successful registration, Leadforce delivers your complete company documentation package, which includes your registration certificate, articles of association, tax identification number, and shareholder documentation. We then initiate your banking introduction, provide your compliance calendar with key annual filing dates, and assign your ongoing account manager for any post-registration queries. Clients on our Business and Corporate packages receive a structured twelve-month compliance review to ensure all Georgian regulatory obligations are met on time and without penalty.

Question 23

23. Is Georgia company registration tax-efficient for UK entrepreneurs?

Accepted Answer

Georgia's territorial tax system can offer meaningful tax planning advantages for UK-based entrepreneurs operating internationally, particularly where business income is generated outside Georgia. However, UK tax residency, controlled foreign company rules, and treaty obligations must be carefully considered before structuring a Georgian entity for tax purposes. Leadforce recommends that UK-resident clients engage a qualified UK tax adviser in conjunction with our Georgian registration services. We can provide referrals to trusted international tax professionals as part of our integrated service offering.

Question 24

24. How does Leadforce ensure compliance after company registration in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Leadforce provides ongoing compliance support through our annual compliance monitoring service. This includes tracking key filing deadlines, annual reporting obligations, VAT return schedules, and shareholder meeting requirements under Georgian corporate law. Clients receive advance reminders before each compliance milestone and can engage Leadforce for filing services on an ongoing basis. Our goal is to ensure that every Georgian company we register remains in good standing with the National Agency of Public Registry and the Georgian Revenue Service throughout its operational life.

Question 25

25. Why should I choose Leadforce for company registration in Georgia over other providers?
