Buy a Shelf Company in Romania — Fast & Legal
A shelf company (also called a ready-made, pre-registered, or off-the-shelf company) is a company that has already been incorporated and kept dormant—no trading history, no liabilities—until it is sold. Buying one lets you skip the incorporation waiting period and proceed directly to the ownership transfer and updates.
With Leadforce, you can buy a shelf company in Romania that is:
- Legally registered and maintained as dormant
- Clean (no prior activity, debts or contracts)
- Transferred correctly via notary and registered updates
- Updated to your details (shareholders, directors, name if required)
This is not a shortcut around compliance. It is a faster route through it. The process still includes identity checks, notary formalities and filings with the Trade Register—handled end-to-end by our team.
Why Choose Ready-Made Shelf Companies in Romania?
A ready-made shelf company in Romania is a pre-registered Romanian limited liability company (SRL) that has never traded, holds no assets, and carries no liabilities. Instead of waiting for a fresh incorporation, you can buy a Romanian shelf company and move to operations once the notarised share transfer and registry updates are completed.
Romania is a respected EU jurisdiction with a stable corporate law framework, an efficient business registry, and a strong network of legal, accounting, and banking professionals. For founders who value speed, credibility, and certainty, a Romanian shelf company offers a practical and fully compliant route to market.
Key reasons clients choose Romanian shelf companies:
- Faster market entry than a new company registration
- EU jurisdiction with clear corporate and commercial law
- Suitable for trading companies, holding structures, SPVs, and cross-border operations
- Appropriate for non-resident entrepreneurs and foreign investors (subject to standard KYC/AML)
- Fully compliant when transferred before a notary and updated at the Trade Register
What Is Included in a Romanian Ready-Made Company?
When you purchase a shelf company in Romania through Leadforce, you receive a clean, dormant SRL that has been properly maintained and is ready for lawful transfer.
A typical Romanian ready-made company includes:
- Romanian SRL registered with the National Trade Register Office (ONRC)
- No trading history, no assets, no liabilities
- Notarised transfer of shares to the new owner
- Change of director and shareholder (if required)
- Update of the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) register
- Updated company documents and statutory registers
- Optional support for registered office, company secretary, and ongoing compliance
- Optional assistance with Romanian corporate bank or EMI account introductions
Every company is subject to due diligence checks to confirm it is a verified, clean Romanian company with a proper compliance record before transfer.

| History | Has a registration date in the past | Clean slate, brand new VAT/EORI |
| Complexity | Requires a share transfer & notary | Requires standard incorporation |

International Owners: Setting Up in Romania
Foreign entrepreneurs can legally own and operate a Romanian SRL, and Romania is a popular entry point to the European Union market. Non-EU/EEA owners should expect more detailed checks, especially at the banking stage. This can include enhanced identity verification, clearer business explanations, and longer review times. Leadforce prepares your file in advance, coordinates documentation, and helps structure the transfer so your company is compliant and ready for real-world use.
Banking & VAT: Making the Company Operational
A Romanian company is only useful if it can operate. We assist with preparing applications for Romanian corporate bank or EMI accounts and guide you on VAT registration where your activity requires it. Banks apply their own compliance and risk checks, especially for foreign owners, so timelines can vary. We don't guarantee approvals—but we ensure your file is structured properly, clearly presented, and aligned with local expectations to improve your chances.
Choose the Right Ready-Made Shelf Company in Romania
All packages include a clean, dormant SRL, notarised share transfer, and filings with the Trade Register. Pricing varies by availability and scope—final quotes are confirmed after a quick compliance check to keep everything accurate and lawful.
Notes on compliance & timing
- Transfers are executed before a notary and then registered with the Trade Register.
- "Fast-track" means priority coordination, not guaranteed same-day registration—timelines depend on document readiness and registry processing.
- Optional items (banking, VAT) are subject to third-party approval and regulatory requirements.

Key 2026 Regulatory Compliance Notes
To ensure your Romanian shelf company remains in "Good Standing" under the new 2026 laws, please note:
- Minimum Share Capital: Starting January 1, 2026, the minimum share capital for all new or transferred SRLs is 500 RON (~€100). If the company's annual turnover exceeds 400,000 RON, the capital must be increased to 5,000 RON within the following financial year.
- Mandatory Bank Account: Under the 2026 Fiscal Procedure Code, Romanian companies must maintain a local payment account. Failure to do so can trigger "Fiscal Inactivity" status.
- Microenterprise Tax (1%): This regime is available in 2026 for companies with a turnover below €100,000 and at least one full-time employee.
- Transfer Timeline: A standard share transfer at the Trade Register generally takes 3–5 business days once the KYC and anti-fraud documentation are submitted.
Note on VAT: While many shelf companies are sold "pre-VAT," acquiring one with an existing VAT and EORI number is highly recommended for those involved in immediate cross-border EU trade, as new VAT registrations in Romania can involve rigorous desk audits.
