Much of the preparation can be handled remotely. Some steps, such as notarisation of the specimen signature, depend on the specific documents and signing method.
What if the Commercial Register refuses registration?
The refusal must be analysed quickly. Depending on the reason, a corrected filing or appeal may be appropriate.
Can I register a Bulgarian company while abroad?
Yes, but the identification, notarisation, signing and representation method must be clarified in advance.
How much does it cost?
The fee depends on the company type, number of shareholders, language of documents and additional services. You can send a request for a tailored quote.
