Register a company in Moldova

Yes. With an apostilled power of attorney, our Chișinău team files at the ASP one-stop, obtains fiscal codes, and applies for IT Park residency remotely. Banks onboard with standard KYC, some by video, some preferring one meeting - we sort the matching.

Registration starts from €1,350. The registered address (from €900 a year), remote filing (from €400) and the director's personal code (IDNP, €300) are billed separately. With a bank account, from €2,550. Renewal with basic accounting starts at €1,200 per year.

Resident companies pay a single tax of 7% of turnover, and that's the whole bill: it replaces corporate tax, employees' income tax and social/medical contributions. The park is virtual, so no relocation or office-in-a-zone games. A floor applies per employee (tied to the average national wage), which matters for tiny teams; we run that math first. Residency requires qualifying IT activity and is filed per company.

The standard system is still Europe's low end: 12% on profits, 6% on dividends, about 17% all-in, with no minimum capital and a one-day registry. Free economic zones add customs and tax advantages for manufacturers. The Park is the star, but the supporting cast is real.

Candidate status came in 2022 and accession negotiations opened in June 2024, the fastest candidacy in the region's modern history, driven hard by the current government. The road remains long and politics matter; nobody has set a date, so neither do we. Association access to EU markets already works today.

Transformed, and both halves deserve saying. The 2014 billion-dollar scandal forced a cleanup that ended with EU ownership of the sector's core: Maib (EBRD among shareholders), OTP, Victoriabank, Banca Transilvania's presence. KYC is real, correspondent lines work, and MDL/EUR/USD accounts are standard. We prepare the file and open the right doors.

We address it directly, because clients ask: Moldova borders a war zone and prices that reality in. It is also precisely why the state is sprinting toward the EU, and why costs and talent availability look the way they do. For nearshore teams and Park companies, practical operations have run uninterrupted; for supply chains, we deliberately plan routes. It's a conversation we have openly, on a case-by-case basis.

Europe's lowest tier: skilled developer salaries well below EU levels, and inside the Park the 7% covers all payroll taxes - the employee's net is the employer's cost plus the single tax. Romanian and Russian bilingualism is standard, English strong in tech. That arithmetic built the Park's ten-thousand-strong workforce.

Georgia offers its own famous regimes (1% small business, distributed-only taxation) with a different geography. Romania offers EU membership today at 16%, plus micro-regimes with strings attached. Moldova's Park beats both for pure IT service companies on rate simplicity: 7%, one line, done. EU-membership-now cases go west; tech-margin cases stay.

The ASP registers in as little as 24 hours: plan 1-3 business days for the company, a few more for VAT, and one to two weeks for the IT Park residency decision. Banking adds one to two weeks. From the first call to a working 7% company: typically under a month end-to-end.
