Company Registration in Bulgaria in 2025 – Complete Guide for Foreigners
Starting a business in Bulgaria is one of the most cost-effective ways to enter the European market ✅. With low taxes, fast registration, and full EU access, the country attracts more and more foreign entrepreneurs. In this T&G Consulting guide, you’ll learn step by step how to register a company in Bulgaria in 2025 — whether remotely or in person.
Why Choose Bulgaria for Your Business?
Bulgaria offers a 10% corporate tax, affordable labor, and easy access to EU markets. Company registration takes an average of 1–3 business days. The process is straightforward and can be completed remotely with the right local partner 🤝.
Which Company Type Is Right for You?
The most popular structure is an LLC (OOD in Bulgarian) — suitable for almost any business activity while protecting your personal assets. If you’re a sole owner, you can choose an SMLLC (EOOD).
| Company Type | Best for | Owners | Liability |
|---|---|---|---|
| EOOD | Freelancers & small businesses | 1 owner | Limited to company assets |
| OOD | Businesses with partners/investors | 2+ owners | Limited to company assets |
Required Documents
To register a company, you’ll need:
- A copy of the owner’s valid passport(s)
- Proposed company name and business activity description
- A Bulgarian address (we also provide virtual office services)
- A notarized power of attorney — required for remote registration
