We provide legal support on all key matters related to the choice of an appropriate legal, tax and organisational structure, the incorporation or acquisition of a company, the operational launch of the business, the relocation of management and key personnel, the obtaining of necessary permits, and the use of available investment incentives and benefits.
We advise clients on the advantages, limitations and risks related to transferring or expanding a business to Bulgaria. We assist in choosing the most appropriate form for establishing operations — through a new company, the acquisition of an existing company, the opening of a branch, a trade representation office or another permissible structure. We also provide support in the preliminary legal and tax assessment of the project so that the client has a clear framework for organising ownership, management and business activity in Bulgaria.
We provide comprehensive support in the incorporation of a company in Bulgaria, the acquisition of an existing company for the purposes of the transfer, or the establishment of an appropriate local presence. We prepare the necessary documents, assist with registration proceedings and all core actions required for the legal establishment of the business. We also advise on opening bank accounts, organising corporate representation and initially structuring the relations between shareholders, partners, managers and other persons involved in the business structure.
We assist in the practical launch of business operations in Bulgaria, including in relation to finding and leasing office space, an administrative address, production premises or warehouse facilities, as well as organising the key contractual and internal arrangements necessary for starting operations. We provide support in structuring operational management, delegating functions at local level and setting up the internal framework required for the normal functioning of the business in Bulgaria.
We advise and assist clients on matters relating to the relocation of management functions to Bulgaria, the appointment of local or foreign management teams, and the establishment of an appropriate local presence for key personnel. We also provide support with recruiting the staff required to launch and maintain business operations, as well as with any related employment, immigration and social security matters, where applicable. Our aim is to enable clients to establish an effective management and operational structure in Bulgaria without unnecessary delay or organisational risk.
We assist clients in identifying the permits, licences and registration requirements applicable to their specific business activities. We advise on the requirements governing regulated activities, prepare the necessary documentation and represent clients before the competent authorities in connection with obtaining the relevant permits, registrations and approvals. We also provide ongoing support in maintaining compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory framework.
We advise on the possibilities of benefiting from legal and tax incentives, investment promotion measures and support mechanisms for investment projects in Bulgaria.
