Legal forms and taxation of business in Bulgaria
Bulgaria allows foreign entrepreneurs to register one of the following legal forms:
- 1Individual entrepreneur (Edinolichen trgovets)Both a Bulgarian and a foreigner citizen residing in the country on the basis of a residence permit may become an individual entrepreneur
- 2Limited Liability Company (ООD)A company of this type can only be opened by two or more persons. A single individual or legal entity may open EOOD. The minimum authorized capital is 2 leva, which is equivalent to 1 euro
- 3Joint Stock Company (AD/EAD)Joint Stock Company is the most complex legal form with the minimum authorized capital of 50,000 leva. A company of this type can be opened by one individual or legal entity. The number of founders is not limited by law. The extent to which owners have influence over company decisions is determined by the number of shares they own. The minimum value of one share is 1 lev.
OOD/EOOD is the most reliable legal forms for successfully running a business.
We recommend choosing this type of company since in this case entrepreneurs face fewer tax difficulties.
