6 steps for Georgia company registration

  • Step 01

    Choosing the Type of Company

    The most common structure is a Limited Liability Company (LLC), which limits founders’ liability to their contributed share capital. Other options include a Joint Stock Company (JSC) for larger operations or an Individual Enterprise for sole traders.

  • Step 02

    Document Preparation and Submission

    Prepare the following: company registration application, company charter outlining management structure and business activities, copies of founders’ and directors’ passports, and additional corporate documents for legal entity shareholders or non-resident founders.

  • Step 03

    Registering with the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR)

    Submit all documents to NAPR either in person at a Public Service Hall or online via the NAPR portal. Standard processing takes 1–2 working days; same-day registration is available for an additional fee.

  • Step 04

    Opening a Corporate Bank Account

    A corporate bank account is required for all financial transactions and share capital deposits. Account opening can be completed remotely with most Georgian banks and typically takes 1–3 working days.

  • Step 05

    Obtaining a Registration Certificate and Tax Identification Number

    Upon registration, the company receives an official Certificate of Registration and a Tax Identification Number (TIN), enabling full financial activity, invoicing, and tax compliance with the Revenue Service of Georgia.

  • Step 06

    Post-Registration Support

    We provide guidance on tax registration, VAT obligations (if applicable), obtaining sector-specific permits or licenses, and setting up accounting and payroll systems to ensure full operational readiness from day one.
