Can foreigners establish a company in Bulgaria?

Can foreigners establish a company in Bulgaria?

Yes. Foreign individuals and legal entities can establish a company in Bulgaria. The required documents and incorporation process may vary depending on the company structure, ownership model, and business activity.

What Changes for Foreign Founders

Bulgaria allows foreign individuals and foreign companies to own 100% of a Bulgarian company. What changes is the paperwork: identity documents, documents issued abroad and, for corporate shareholders, proof of the parent company's registration.

  • Documents issued abroad may need an apostille and a sworn translation into Bulgarian
  • A registered seat and management address in Bulgaria is required
  • Banks apply extra checks for non-resident shareholders

Most foreign founders start with an EOOD or OOD. See the full company formation process or ask us about your case.
