    Frequently asked questions

    Can a foreigner own 100% of a Bulgarian company?

    Yes. Non-residents can be sole owners and managers of a Bulgarian company.

    Do I need to travel to Bulgaria?

    In many cases registration can be done with a notarised power of attorney. We confirm this for your case.

    What is the corporate tax rate?

    Bulgaria has a flat 10% corporate income tax, one of the lowest in the EU.

    Does a company give me residence?

    A company alone does not automatically grant residence, but it can support specific residence routes we explain in the assessment.

    Can you help with VAT registration?

    Yes, we assist with EU VAT registration and compliance.
