The 9 Best Company Registration Firms in Tbilisi

Two numbers, and providers often blur them. The government fee at the Public Service Hall is small, roughly 250 GEL for standard LLC registration and around 450 GEL for same-day, with Individual Entrepreneur registration in the 60 to 85 GEL band. The agent or law firm fee sits on top and is where the real spread lives: published packages in Tbilisi run from about 750 GEL to 1,500 GEL plus VAT for an LLC, and euro-priced remote packages around 800 to 1,250 EUR. Treat these as observed ranges, not quotes, and ask what is excluded before you pay.

No. Every firm on this list will register an entity by power of attorney, and several are built around exactly that. You sign a POA in front of a notary at home, get it apostilled, courier it, and the agent files for you. Expect a surcharge for the remote route, sometimes stated as a flat uplift and in at least one published case as 50% on top of the base fee. The slower part is usually the bank account rather than the registry.

If you are one person selling services and turnover stays under 500,000 GEL a year, Individual Entrepreneur with small business status and its 1% turnover tax is normally the cheaper and simpler answer. An LLC makes sense when you have partners, want liability separation, plan to raise money, or need a corporate counterparty for contracts and banking. The registration cost difference is smaller than the ongoing accounting difference. Ask any firm to model both before you choose.

Yes, and plenty of people do. If you speak Georgian or bring someone who does, own or rent a Georgian address you can use, and are happy with the state template charter, self-registration is realistic in a morning. Paying an agent buys you the charter drafting, the correct tax status election, the legal address, and someone who has opened bank accounts for foreigners before. The bank account is the step where DIY most often stalls.

Refusing to name a price before a paid consultation. Quoting only the government fee and adding their own later. Promising a guaranteed bank account, which no agent can actually guarantee since the bank decides. Vague answers about who provides the legal address and for how long, since losing it mid-year means a registry problem. Also be wary of anyone who recommends a Virtual Zone or Free Zone structure before asking what your business actually does.

More than most people expect. You need a Revenue Service portal account, a tax status election if you want 1% or Virtual Zone treatment, a corporate bank account, and monthly filings from the first month even at zero revenue. Georgia files monthly, not annually, which is the single fact that pushes most foreign founders into hiring an accountant. Ask your registration agent whether the handover to accounting is included or a separate contract.
