Georgia in brief
The Caucasus' open-for-business economy.
Georgia has spent two decades engineering friction out of business: the public registry incorporates an LLC in a day or two for a nominal fee, there is no minimum capital, foreigners own companies outright, and the country sits near the top of every ease-of-doing-business ranking it enters. Between Europe and Asia, with free-trade agreements reaching the EU, China and the CIS, it works as a genuine operating base - not just a paper address.
The tax system copies Estonia's distribution model: corporate profit is taxed only when paid out - retained or reinvested earnings carry 0%. On top sit targeted regimes: the Virtual Zone zeroes corporate tax on IT services sold abroad, International Company status cuts qualifying tech and maritime firms to 5%, and Free Industrial Zones remove CIT for manufacturing and trading. Add banks that actually open accounts - Bank of Georgia and TBC onboard foreign-owned companies routinely - and Georgia becomes the rare budget jurisdiction that works in practice.

Talk to a specialist →FAQ
Georgia in practice.
Can I open a company without visiting Georgia?+
Yes. The LLC is registered under a power of attorney and the bank account can often be opened the same way; a short visit only speeds up banking. Original documents are couriered to you.
How much does it cost to set up a Georgian company?+
Turnkey registration starts from $1,500 including state fees and the first year of the legal address. With a local bank account arranged, packages start from $2,900.
How long does registration take?+
NAPR registers most LLCs same or next business day; with tax registration and documents the full file completes within a week.
How does the 0% tax actually work?+
Georgia copied Estonia's model: corporate profit is taxed only when distributed. Keep or reinvest earnings - 0%. Declare dividends - 15% corporate tax plus 5% withholding. You control the timing of taxation.
What is the Virtual Zone?+
A status for IT companies selling services outside Georgia: 0% corporate tax on that foreign revenue and 5% on dividends. The application is free of state charges and usually approved within ten business days - we file it for you.
What is International Company status?+
A deeper regime for IT and maritime businesses with real Georgian substance: 5% corporate tax, 5% payroll tax and 0% on dividends. It needs local presence - we assess eligibility before you commit.
How good is Georgian banking really?+
Genuinely good: Bank of Georgia and TBC run modern multi-currency accounts with strong apps and onboard foreign-owned companies routinely. Fully remote cases sometimes start with an EMI while the local account completes.
Does the company file accounts?+
Yes - monthly declarations when payroll, VAT or distributions occur, nil returns otherwise, plus simple annual statements. Our accountants run the calendar from about $100 a month.
Can the company help me live in Georgia?+
Yes - business activity supports a residence permit application, and founders often combine the LLC with Georgia's one-year visa-free stay for many nationalities. We can run both tracks.
Georgia or Estonia - which one?+
The same tax model in different wrappers: Estonia adds EU membership, e-Residency and EU banking at higher maintenance costs; Georgia wins on price, local banking ease and the Virtual Zone. Many founders eventually run both - one EU-facing, one regional.
