Company registration in Armenia
An Armenian limited liability company online, with no local director required. We register it, choose the tax regime and help open the account.
Armenia is one of the easiest countries for a foreigner to register a company: a limited liability company is registered online through the electronic state register of legal entities, with no state fee and no minimum capital. A foreigner needs no residence permit, and the company can be wholly owned by a non-resident. Below: how registration works, which tax regime to choose, what a bank account needs and how a company helps with residence.
How to register a company in Armenia
- Name and charter. We check the name and prepare a model or custom charter.
- Electronic filing. We file through the electronic state register of legal entities. There is no state fee for registering a limited liability company.
- Registration. By law the Ministry of Justice registers a legal entity within two working days, and the company receives its tax number with registration.
- Tax regime. Within about 20 days of registration we choose the tax regime; otherwise the company defaults to VAT.
- Account. We open an account with an Armenian bank for payments and taxes.
We will calculate online the cost of registering and running your company for the first year.
Documents for registration
- passports of the founders and director;
- a model or custom charter;
- the company's registered address in Armenia;
- for a corporate founder, a register extract and founding decision, translated and legalised.
A foreigner needs no local director or residence permit, and documents can be signed remotely with an electronic signature or through a representative under a power of attorney.
Company taxes in Armenia
- General regime - 18% profit tax and 20% VAT. Suits companies with large turnover and clients who need VAT to reclaim.
- Simplified turnover tax - for small businesses, with the rate depending on the activity. It is chosen in the first weeks after registration.
The choice affects taxes for years ahead, so we compare both options for your turnover and clients before filing. More on our Armenia taxes page.
A company and residence
Your own operating company in Armenia can be a ground for its founder's residence permit if it genuinely operates and pays taxes. We check the procedure and business requirements for your case; see Armenia residence.
Where difficulties arise
- The bank will not open an account because of an unclear source of funds or links to sanctioned countries, which Armenian banks check especially carefully.
- The deadline for choosing the tax regime is missed, and the company becomes a VAT payer unnecessarily.
- No real activity, so the company does not help with residence.

A company in Armenia registers online, but the tax regime decides everything
The law does not forbid registering a limited liability company in Armenia on your own, and registration is online with no local director. But mistakes cost more than the fees: a tax regime chosen without modelling turnover, a legal address where tax letters never arrive, an account the bank will not open without a clear business model. We register the company, choose the tax regime, provide the address and help open the account.
The cost of support depends on the tax regime and the bank; a manager will calculate it in the chat.
