LLC formation: documents and registration steps

Answer first

LLC Registration

Prepare and register a new Georgian limited liability company: founders, shares, charter, management, address and signing authority, with a clear handover after registration.

Before acting, verify the legal basis, deadline and consistency of the documents. This guide is a preparation framework, not an individual legal opinion.

Step-by-step process

1. Describe the intended activity, number and type of founders, proposed ownership, director, Georgian address and whether anyone will sign abroad. Confirm the scope, consultation language, costs and timetable.
2. Check founder identities and corporate authority, the proposed name, address evidence and management arrangements. Identify required translations, certification and any country-specific document formalities before signing.
3. Prepare the founding agreement and an appropriate standard or tailored charter. Reconcile share percentages, contributions, appointment of management and joint or individual representation. Separate shareholder negotiations require an agreed scope.
4. Arrange the required signatures, consents and representation authority; submit the application and fee evidence to NAPR under the agreed mandate. Track notices and address defects within the included work.
5. Check the registration decision and extract against the instructions. Hand over the formation documents and a list of next actions, such as tax/accounting, banking, licences and ongoing corporate administration.

Required-document checklist

• Initial enquiry: activity, founder count and whether they are people or companies, proposed ownership, director, available Georgian address, location of signers and desired timing. Avoid sending passport scans or identity numbers in the public enquiry form.
• After agreeing a suitable channel: identity documents and matching names for founders and management. A corporate founder may need current registry documents, its charter, an approval and evidence of the signer's authority.
• Proposed Georgian company name, share percentages and contribution arrangements; decisions about management, representation and any tailored charter provisions.
• Duly confirmed consent of the premises owner or an appropriately executed agreement for use of the address; identify the property accurately. A mailing address alone does not resolve the legal-address requirement.
• Management consents, the signed founding agreement, representation authority where applicable and fee-payment evidence. Confirm foreign-document translation, apostille/legalisation or an applicable exemption for the particular document and issuing country.

What will I receive from the lawyer?

The agreed deliverables can include a document and decisions checklist, founding agreement and charter, management/authority documents, filing evidence, the registration decision and extract, and a handover of outstanding actions. Specify whether corrections, shareholder negotiations, banking support and ongoing compliance are included; they are not automatically one package.

Does the LLC registration include banking, tax benefits or residence?

Registration creates the entity and includes state and tax registration under Article 8. It is not a promise of bank acceptance, a special tax status, a licence or immigration permission. Identify the intended activity and people who will work in Georgia so that the relevant banking, tax, regulatory and immigration work can be scoped separately.

Key risks and common mistakes

• Using an unsuitable standard charter or leaving voting, shares and signing powers inconsistent.
• Signing abroad before checking the authority, certification and translation requirements.
• Treating the agency's filing-day service as a promise that every preparation and business-launch step will finish that day.
• Assuming company registration automatically supplies a bank account, licence, residence/work permission or a favourable tax regime.
