How to Register a Company in Georgia (LLC (შპს)) as a Foreign Founder
Setting up a Georgia LLC (შპს) is more straightforward than it first looks — if you know which route you actually qualify for. Most guides quote a single headline figure and stop there, leaving founders to discover the real conditions the hard way.
BIZ TRP confirms your real route before you spend anything on documents: the right capital structure, the signature or representation path that fits you, and the compliance steps that come after registration — so the company you register is the company you can actually run.

Where this usually goes wrong
Special regimes are widely misunderstood. Georgia has multiple tax regimes (standard CIT, IT Virtual Zone, small-business status) — founders often assume the 15% headline CIT applies when a special regime or distribution-timing rule may apply instead. Filing fee confirmed at 200–400 GEL depending on timeframe (standard vs. same-day), plus 7 GEL for signature notarization.
"Remote" gets assumed rather than confirmed. Not every signer automatically has what's needed for a remote route. We check the signing route before it becomes a filing delay, not after.
Registration gets treated as the finish line. The company exists, but banking, tax activation, and licensing are separate work — founders who assume otherwise lose weeks they didn't budget for.

Is No statutory minimum always the capital requirement?
That's the standard figure as researched — symbolic capital accepted Confirm which route applies to your specific case before relying on it.
Can I register fully remotely?
Formation typically requires a notarized Power of Attorney to a local representative; possible via Public Service Hall or electronic submission, since remote self-filing isn't available.
Does registration mean I can start operating immediately?
No. Registration creates the legal entity. Banking, tax/VAT activation, and any licences are separate steps.
