Frequently asked questions
Why choose Bulgaria for company formation?
Bulgaria is one of the best choices for entrepreneurs seeking a simple, fast, tax-efficient, and fully compliant solution.
With a 10% corporate tax, efficient administration, and very low costs, it maximizes profitability for digital businesses, consulting, and e-commerce.
Furthermore, the jurisdiction is stable, an EU member, and allows you to start working immediately with an intra-community VAT number.
Do I need to travel to set up a Bulgarian company?
No, the formation process does not require travel to Bulgaria, which is a major advantage for international entrepreneurs. The vast majority of steps can be completed via power of attorney, allowing you to have an operational company quickly without ever traveling.
The only step that may require your physical presence is signing the Power of Attorney at the Bulgarian embassy or consulate nearest to you.
This step is not a burdensome formality: it simply involves signing an official document authorizing our team and local partners to handle administrative procedures on your behalf (registration with the commercial register, representation before Bulgarian authorities, potential account openings, etc.).
✔️ What this means in practice
• You do not need to go to Bulgaria.
• No appointment with a Bulgarian notary is required.
• No travel to Sofia, Varna, or Plovdiv.
• The entire formation is managed remotely by our teams.
• Signing at the embassy legally secures the procedure and speeds up registration.
✔️ Why is this method ideal?
This approach is perfectly suited for:
• consultants and service providers,
• digital entrepreneurs,
• e-commerce businesses,
• international structures wanting fast formation,
• anyone wishing to limit travel.
Bulgaria is one of the simplest jurisdictions in the European Union for company formation, and the ability to manage everything remotely, without going on-site, is one of its greatest assets.
Thanks to this procedure, you can set up your company, obtain your tax number, and start operations in just a few days, without interrupting your business.
