An English-language extract adds 26 GEL to the applicable service fee. Translation, notarisation, apostille, courier, address and legal services are priced separately; banking, accounting, tax, licensing and immigration work require their own scope.

The registry processing period excludes overseas document preparation, translation, courier, corrections and bank review. Legal fees require a written quote stating deliverables, shareholder count, revisions, correction work, payment stages, tax treatment and exclusions.

What drives cost

  • Possible government, notarial, translation and expert costs
  • Document volume and legal complexity
  • Need for urgent action, appeal or litigation
  • Apostille/legalisation and representation for foreign documents

Legal fees depend on scope and stages. Government and third-party charges can change and should be checked against the official source before payment.

What drives timing

  • Review period set by law or agency procedure
  • Document readiness and requests for more information
  • Counterparty, authority or court workload
  • Interim decision, appeal or enforcement

A useful timeline separates controllable and external stages and reserves time for appeal or additional-document requests.

Key risks and common mistakes

  • Unsuitable corporate structure
  • Beneficial-owner or bank KYC issues
  • Missed tax and licensing duties
  • Weak shareholder or commercial contracts
