Company registration in Georgia for foreigners
Foreigners can own 100% of a Georgian company and run it from abroad. We register LLCs, branches and individual entrepreneurs, prepare corporate documents and support you with banks, contracts and tax registration.
Registration with the Public Registry is fast — usually one business day once the documents are ready. You need a legal address in Georgia; there is no minimum share capital for an LLC.
Georgia taxes companies on distributed profit (the "Estonian model"), and individual entrepreneurs may qualify for small-business status with a 1% turnover tax. Eligibility depends on the activity and turnover, so we check it before you register.

Questions & answers
Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in Georgia?
Yes. Foreign individuals and companies can be the sole founder and director of a Georgian LLC.
Do I need to be in Georgia to register a company?
Not necessarily. Registration can be done through a representative with a notarised power of attorney. Opening a bank account usually needs more preparation, as each bank runs its own checks.
How are companies taxed in Georgia?
Profit tax (15%) is generally paid only when profit is distributed, for example as dividends. Small-business status for individual entrepreneurs offers a 1% turnover tax up to an annual limit. We check which regime fits your activity.
