Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to register a Georgian company?
An LLC or Individual Entrepreneur is typically registered at the Public Service Hall in 1–2 business days once your documents are ready.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a Georgian company?
Yes. Georgian law allows full foreign ownership of LLCs and Individual Entrepreneur status — no local partner is required.
What are the main Georgian tax options for a small business?
An Individual Entrepreneur with Small Business Status pays 1% of turnover up to 500,000 GEL/year. An LLC pays 15% corporate income tax only on distributed profits (Estonian-style model).
How long does it take to open a Georgian bank account?
Personal accounts at TBC Bank or Bank of Georgia open same-day for visa-free nationals with a passport, address, and Georgian SIM. Corporate accounts for foreign-owned LLCs typically take 3–10 business days. Plan for two weeks end-to-end.
Do I need a residence permit to be tax-resident in Georgia?
No. Tax residency under the 183-day rule depends only on physical presence; no residence permit is required. Many digital nomads on visa-free 365-day entries become Georgian tax residents simply by spending most of the year in the country.
