Company registration fees in Tbilisi

The National Agency of Public Registry charges 200 GEL to register an LLC in 1 working day and 400 GEL to register it on the day you apply. Registering an IE costs 26 GEL, rising to 75 GEL on the same day, and an English-language registry extract adds 26 GEL. Firm fees sit on top of those charges unless the firm says they are included.

The GEL prices from Register-Company.ge, Tbilisi Expat and ExpatHub.GE exclude VAT where it applies, and Tu Empresa en Georgia adds 18% VAT to its euro prices. TPsolution, BGI Legal, Legal Consulting Georgia and JUST Advisors publish no registration fees, so ask each for a written quote that lists what it covers.

Types of company registration firm in Tbilisi

Firms with published price lists make up the largest group. Register-Company.ge, Tbilisi Expat, ExpatHub.GE, Business Setup Georgia and Tu Empresa en Georgia sell fixed registration packages, with accounting, a legal address and bank account help sold alongside.

Law firms and legal groups fit set-ups that go beyond a standard LLC. BGI Legal registers representative offices and non-profits as well as local companies, Legal Consulting Georgia forms branches of foreign companies, and JUST Advisors stays on for shareholder changes, reorganisation and dissolution.

TPsolution is a tax adviser that starts every registration with a tax consultation, and Gegidze ties its LLC set-up to a monthly accounting fee.

What to check before you hire a registration firm

  • The full cost. Ask whether the quote covers the registry fee, translation, notary costs, the legal address and VAT, or whether any of them are billed separately.
  • Help at the bank. Georgian banks decide remote account openings case by case. Ask whether someone from the firm will go to the branch with you, and whether they will assess your chances before you pay for that part.
  • Your activity codes. Some activities cannot hold Small Business Status. Have the firm check your codes before it registers an IE on the promise of the 1% rate.
  • The remote timeline. A power of attorney has to be notarised and apostilled or legalised in your country, then translated into Georgian in Tbilisi, so remote registration runs to weeks, most of it at your end.
Questions
What does company registration cost in Tbilisi?

The National Agency of Public Registry charges 200 GEL to register an LLC in 1 working day and 400 GEL to register it on the day you apply, while an individual entrepreneur costs 26 GEL. Register-Company.ge charges 600 GEL for an IE with Small Business Status and 1,200 GEL for an LLC, both with government fees included, and ExpatHub.GE charges 1,500 GEL for an LLC. Register-Company.ge, Tbilisi Expat and ExpatHub.GE add 390 GEL a year for a legal address.

Can I register a Georgian company from abroad?

Yes. You sign a power of attorney before a notary in your own country, have it apostilled or legalised and send it to a firm in Tbilisi, which has it translated into Georgian and registers the business for you. Register-Company.ge quotes 2 to 3 weeks for an IE and 3 to 4 weeks for an LLC this way. The registry's remote smart-contract route for IEs is open only to Georgian citizens.

How long does company registration take in Georgia?

The registry registers an LLC within 1 working day, or the same day for a 400 GEL fee. Preparing documents, drafting the charter and opening a bank account take longer, so Register-Company.ge quotes 3 to 5 business days for an LLC in person, and Business Setup Georgia allows 2 to 10 days for the bank account. Registering from abroad adds the time needed to notarise and apostille or legalise your power of attorney.

Is an LLC or an IE better for a foreign founder in Georgia?

An IE with Small Business Status suits a single owner selling services, while an LLC suits several owners, turnover heading past 500,000 GEL or profit you plan to reinvest. The IE pays 1% of turnover, or 3% from the month gross income passes 500,000 GEL until the year ends, and loses the status after passing that figure in each of 2 calendar years. An LLC pays 15% profit tax when it distributes profit rather than as profit is earned, plus 5% on dividends paid to individuals.

Do I need a legal address to register a company in Georgia?

Yes. The Law of Georgia on Entrepreneurs requires every business to have a legal address, and it must be an actual address in Georgia. If you do not own property or hold a lease there, a registration firm can provide one. Register-Company.ge, Tbilisi Expat and ExpatHub.GE charge 390 GEL a year and Tu Empresa en Georgia EUR 150 plus VAT, while Legal Consulting Georgia and TPsolution include an address in their registration service.

Which company registration firms in Tbilisi work in Russian?

Register-Company.ge, Tbilisi Expat, Business Setup Georgia, Legal Consulting Georgia and JUST Advisors all work in English, Russian and Georgian. So do TPsolution and Gegidze, which also works in German, Spanish and Portuguese, and Tu Empresa en Georgia speaks Russian as well as Spanish and English. ExpatHub.GE and BGI Legal work in English and Georgian.
