How to Change Your Company Name in Bulgaria?
Do you need a fresh start or plan to expand your business? Changing your company name is an important step that can be part of rebranding, correcting legal inaccuracies, or adapting to new markets. In this guide, we’ll show you how to do it legally in Bulgaria — quickly and stress-free.
Why Change Your Company Name?
There are several valid reasons to consider changing your company name:
- 🔁 Rebranding: Better alignment with new services or business vision.
- 🌍 Expanding into new markets: A name more suitable for an international audience.
- ✍️ Corrections: Fixing spelling or legal mistakes.
- 🏢 Structural changes: New owners or a new business direction.
Whatever the reason, the process must strictly comply with Bulgarian legislation.
What You Need Before Starting?
Before submitting your documents, make sure you have:
- 🆕 A unique new name that is not already registered. You can check this in the Commercial Register.
- 📝 Decision from the owner or General Assembly (depending on the company type — EOOD or OOD).
- 📃 An updated founding act reflecting the new company name.
Step-by-Step: How to Change Your Company Name?
Step 1: Make the decision
For EOOD – the decision is made by the sole owner.
For OOD – the General Assembly drafts a protocol for the change.
Step 2: Update the founding document
Include the new company name in the Articles of Association or company statute.
Step 3: Submit documents to the Commercial Register
You can file the documents online with an electronic signature or in person. Required documents:
- Decision for the name change
- Updated founding document
- Declarations (e.g., U1, U2 forms)
- Paid state fee (around 30–40 BGN)
Step 4: Approval
If everything is submitted correctly, the registration takes 3 to 5 business days.
What to Do After Approval?
Once the name change is official, make sure to update:
- 🔖 Company stamp, signage, and website
- 📑 Contracts, invoices, and all business documents
- 👩💼 Notification to your accountant and business partners
- 🏦 Inform NAP (National Revenue Agency), banks, and licensing authorities (if required)
Skipping any of these steps may lead to misunderstandings or administrative issues.
