A company in Georgia
LLC Registration in Georgia: a company in 1–2 days, with no capital and no extra people
A Georgian LLC runs on the Estonian tax model: profit is untaxed while it stays in the company, 15% on distribution and 5% on dividends. A foreigner may be the sole founder and the sole director. Registration takes one or two business days in Georgia (the country), and we do it with a bilingual charter and the tax registration included.
Who it's for
When an LLC beats an IE — and when it does not
This fits if
- You have partners or investors and need shares
- You are hiring staff, or working with large counterparties for whom a company matters
- Your activity is excluded from Small Business Status: consulting, legal or medical services
- Turnover above ₾500,000, or you reinvest profit and would rather not pay tax until you distribute it
A different route fits better
- You are a freelancer under ₾500,000 with an activity that clears the 1% — an IE is cheaper and simpler
- You are counting on "0% on everything": an LLC comes with accounting, declarations and 15% on distribution
On the assessment we run both options on your own numbers. Sometimes the answer is an IE for 400 ₾, and we say so.
How it works
Company registration: from the charter to the tax portal
Structure and charter
We settle the founders, the shares and the director, then prepare a bilingual charter — Georgian plus English — so you can read what you are signing.
Registration at the Public Service Hall
Filing, then registration in one business day, or the same day expedited. The legal address comes from your lease or the owner's written consent.
Tax registration
Registration with the Revenue Service, access to the tax portal, and VAT registration and regime choice where they apply.
Account and trading
We open the corporate account with escort. If a foreign director will be working with residents, we file the work permit in the same quote.
Documents
Documents for LLC registration
- Passports of the founders and the director

Rarely said out loud
What to know about an LLC before you register
"Profit is untaxed" holds only while the profit stays in the company. Pay a dividend and it is 15% corporate tax plus 5% on the dividend. Pay yourself a salary and it is 20% income tax. The model rewards reinvestment.
Accounting is mandatory. Monthly declarations, including nil ones. We do not provide accounting; we refer you to an accountant and explain what to ask of them.
VAT above ₾100,000. Registration becomes mandatory once taxable turnover passes that figure in 12 months. Exported services are zero-rated, but the reporting starts all the same.
A foreign director working with residents falls under the work permit rule. We check that at registration, so that a fine is not how you find out.
Questions
Common questions about a company in Georgia
No. Georgia sets no minimum capital for an LLC. You decide the size of the shares yourselves.
Yes. Citizenship restricts neither ownership nor management of a Georgian company.
Yes, on a notarised power of attorney from the founders. We draft the charter and the resolutions, you sign them before a notary in your own country. We go through the detail on the assessment.
A relief for IT companies selling software abroad: 0% corporate tax on that income. It requires real presence and real development work in Georgia. We check whether it fits your case.
An external accountant, the legal address and bank servicing. The figures depend on your volume of transactions, and we give a range on the assessment.
Right after registration. The bank looks at the founders and the activity, so we build the compliance file in parallel with the registration — usually 1–2 weeks.
