Registering Your Romanian Company
As with other general company registration processes, you either choose the name and reserve it first, or you can select the company type first. In Romania, we will advise you to decide on the legal entity first. After you have decided on your legal structure, the following steps will ensuite:
Propose Company Name
We will assist with the company name proposal and send it to the Trade Registry. The proposal consists of three company names in the order of preference. Our expert will ensure your proposed names comply with the local laws. The Trade Register will approve one for you to register, valid for one month.
Notarize Company Documents
Before notarization, we will request the necessary documents to draft your company incorporation agreement. In the company incorporation document, you will provide your company’s registered address in Romania. We may offer a virtual office address if you have not identified an office location. We will have you look through the draft and tweak it if needed. After that, we will send it for notarization.
Pay Up The Share Capital
The step applies during incorporation if there is a need for company operations. You are required to pay up at least 30% of the share capital. But if you intend only to get the company incorporated and registered, you may deposit the 30% within three months after the company registration.
Register The Company at the Trade Register Office
Complete an application for company registration in Romania. Submit together with all the supporting documents. Once all documentation satisfies the Trade Register, you now have a micro-enterprise.
