Who We Help
This service is built for
- Foreign founders opening an LLC or registering as an Individual Entrepreneur in Georgia.
- Remote entrepreneurs who need a POA-ready setup without multiple trips to Tbilisi.
- Businesses comparing IE, 1% Small Business Status, and LLC structures before launch.
- International operators who need a registered address, founder documents, or compliance clean-up.
What We Handle
Where we add legal value
- LLC and IE registration strategy, filings, powers of attorney, and post-registration steps.
- 1% Small Business Status positioning, activity wording, and compliance framing for eligible founders.
- Registered office and statutory support for founders who need a stable Georgian legal address.
- Corporate housekeeping such as director powers, shareholder relations, and document package readiness for banks and counterparties.
Key Checkpoints
What matters under Georgian law
- Entity choice in Georgia affects liability, tax positioning, banking onboarding, and operational flexibility from the start.
- Revenue Service classification and business-activity wording matter; the wrong setup can lead to reclassification, audits, and avoidable tax exposure.
- Public Registry, tax registration, legal address rules, and bank onboarding should be treated as one workflow rather than isolated paperwork steps.
Document Prep
Documents to prepare before we start
- Passport copy and founder identification details.
- Draft business activity description and intended operating model.
- Registered legal address details or address-service arrangement.
- Power of attorney documents if formation will be handled remotely.
- Shareholding, management, and contact information for all participants.
Common Mistakes
Where clients lose time, leverage, or money
- Choosing IE or LLC based only on hearsay rather than liability, banking, and tax reality.
- Using vague or risky activity descriptions that do not match the actual business model.
- Treating bank onboarding as an afterthought instead of preparing a founder file from the start.
- Registering quickly but skipping follow-up compliance, monthly reporting, or registered-office issues.
1% Small Business Status pre-check
See in under a minute whether you are likely to qualify for Georgia's 1% Small Business Status, based on your revenue and activity type. This is a pre-qualification only; we confirm eligibility in a focused consultation.
1% Small Business Status – Pre-check
Answer a few quick questions to see whether you are likely to fit Georgia's 1% Small Business Status regime. This is a pre-qualification only; final classification is determined by the Georgian Revenue Service.
- Annual revenue should be below 500,000 GEL to stay within the 1% cap.
- Certain activities (crypto, financial services, gambling, adult, weapons, medical/pharma, and licensed work) are usually excluded.
- We'll ask for your name and email at the end to send tailored next steps.
Price of Silence
The cost of doing nothing (or doing it wrong)
Setting up your IE, 1% Small Business Status, or LLC incorrectly can trigger reclassification and a flat 20% tax assessment, plus audits and penalties. We design the structure and filings so your status is defensible from Day 1.
The Remote Edge
Remote setup available – no trip required for most steps
We handle public registry filings, bank-ready POAs, and tax registrations so that most international founders can obtain a working structure without flying to Tbilisi.
