Starting a business in Georgia is an exciting endeavor, but it’s important to understand the legal framework that governs business formations. Georgia offers a favorable business environment, but navigating the country’s legal landscape requires careful planning. This article will provide a comprehensive guide to understanding the legal requirements and how Tbilisi Legal Advisory (TLA) can help streamline the process.
1. Key Legal Structures for Business Formation in Georgia

2. State Registration and Compliance
Registering your business with the National Agency of Public Registry is a mandatory step in the formation process. This involves submitting essential documents, such as your company charter, and ensuring compliance with local laws.
Our team at TLA ensures that your business is registered smoothly and without any legal hiccups. We handle everything from document preparation to submitting your application. For more details, contact us or call +995 501111150.
3. Legal Documentation & Framework for Business Formation
Whether you’re forming an LLC, JSC, or any other business type, legal documentation is a critical component of the process. This includes:
Company Charter
Founding Agreements
Shareholder Agreements
At TLA, we help draft and review these documents to ensure they meet legal standards and protect your interests. Having the right documentation in place not only facilitates the registration process but also safeguards your business from future legal challenges.
4. Tax Registration and Financial Compliance
Once your business is formed, you must also register with the Revenue Service of Georgia for tax purposes. Depending on your business type and size, this may include VAT registration, income tax filing, and more.
TLA provides tax registration and financial compliance services to ensure your business is meeting all its obligations under Georgian law. We make the process seamless, helping you avoid common pitfalls that can lead to delays or penalties.
5. Ongoing Legal Compliance
Setting up a business is just the first step. Ongoing compliance with Georgian corporate laws is essential to maintaining your company’s legal standing. This includes filing annual reports, maintaining proper accounting records, and ensuring that your company adheres to any industry-specific regulations.
