Company registration in Georgia in 2026
A limited liability company in 1 business day, no capital, profit tax only on distribution. We handle documents, address, tax status and bank account turnkey.
Georgia is one of the easiest countries to register a business: a company is set up in one business day at a Public Service Hall, a foreigner needs no visa or residence permit, and profit tax is paid only when profit leaves the company. Companies are set up here for services and IT, trade, tourism and as a basis for residence.
Companies are registered by the National Agency of Public Registry under the Ministry of Justice, and taxes are administered by the Revenue Service. Dollar amounts below use the National Bank of Georgia rate of 3 October 2026, GEL 2.6039 per dollar, rounded up.
Which form to choose in Georgia
- Limited liability company (LLC) - the main business form. No minimum capital; shareholders and director can be foreigners and need not live in Georgia.
- Individual entrepreneur - for one person. With small business status pays 1% of turnover up to GEL 500,000 a year, but is liable with personal assets.
- Branch of a foreign company - for an existing company to operate in Georgia.
For IT, maritime and some other services a company can obtain International Company status with reduced taxes. Its requirements - real activity and experience in Georgia - are checked before registration.

Registration in a day for about $39, but the real question is the bank account
The law does not stop you registering a company on your own. But mistakes cost more than the fees: founder documents without Georgian translation and certification, an address where the tax office cannot find the company, a tax status chosen without regard to your income and a bank that refuses an account without clear activity and a meeting with the owner. We prepare and translate the documents, register the company in one working day, provide a legal address, arrange tax statuses and handle the bank account.
Turnkey package prices are in the table on this page; a manager will calculate the total for your structure in the chat.
What taxes a company pays in Georgia
- Profit tax - 15%, but only on distributed profit: if profit stays in the company or is reinvested, there is no tax.
- Dividends - 5% withholding.
- VAT - 18%, registration mandatory once turnover exceeds GEL 100,000, about $38,500, in 12 months.
- Salaries - 20% income tax and pension contributions.
- International Company status - 5% profit tax and 5% employee income tax for eligible activities.
The company files monthly returns and annual accounts through the Revenue Service's online portal. An accountant is needed from the first month.
Company and residence in Georgia
Foreigners enter Georgia visa-free for long periods, but for permanent life and work a residence permit is more convenient. A company can be the basis for a work or investment residence permit if income or investment conditions are met. We plan the company and residence together. All grounds, fees and timelines are on the page Georgian residence permit.
Why registration gets delayed
- No owner's consent for the legal address.
- A foreign corporate shareholder's documents lack an apostille or translation.
- The power of attorney has errors or no apostille.
- The name matches an existing one.
- The bank asks for the director's personal visit and source of funds evidence.
