Legal forms

The main legal forms available under Georgian law include:

  • Individual Entrepreneur, where relevant to the intended business activity

No single form is right for everyone. The appropriate form depends on the planned business activity, ownership structure and other circumstances, and we help you compare the options before registration.

Key legal checkpoints

The registration process takes into account:

  • Civil Code of Georgia, where applicable
  • Law of Georgia on Entrepreneurs
  • Applicable registration rules and procedures
  • Requirements of the National Agency of Public Registry
  • Founders' and management information
  • Company name and registered address
  • Corporate documents and signatures
  • Power of attorney requirements for representation
  • Any additional requirements arising from the specific business activity

Documents to prepare before we start

Depending on the legal form and circumstances, you may need:

  • Identification documents of founders/partners
  • Information about the company founders/partners
  • Information about the director(s) and other relevant persons
  • Company name
  • Registered legal address
  • Information about the intended business activity
  • Charter and/or other incorporation documents
  • Founders' decisions or agreements, where applicable
  • Power of attorney, where registration is carried out through a representative
  • Other documents required for the specific registration

The exact requirements depend on the legal form and your circumstances.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing a legal form without considering the planned business activity
  • Using incomplete or incorrectly prepared corporate documents
  • Providing inconsistent information across registration documents
  • Failing to properly determine the company's registered address
  • Using an improperly prepared power of attorney for remote registration
  • Assuming that company registration automatically covers all additional licences or permits required for a regulated activity
  • Failing to update registered corporate information when circumstances change
  • Treating incorporation as the end of the legal process rather than the beginning of ongoing corporate compliance
