TaxAdvisory.ge · Assio Lex and Associates LLC

Start your Georgian business with an organised company setup or transfer. We help you choose a new company or readymade LLC, prepare the corporate documents and arrange the registration, address and banking application support you need.

Company setup package — EUR 1,280

Our advertised package covers an agreed new company or readymade LLC with one individual director/shareholder. It includes specified registration or transfer charges, agreed passport and power-of-attorney translation and notarisation, Georgian and English corporate documents, portal setup and a 12-month legal address. The advertised annual address renewal is EUR 123.

A clear handover from the start

  • Review the company extract, ownership and authority to sign.
  • Check the available tax, accounting and company records.
  • Prepare the agreed registration or transfer documents.
  • Arrange the legal address and portal handover.
  • Assist with the corporate and relevant personal bank applications.

Set up locally or prepare from abroad

We can organise the process around your visit or an accepted representation arrangement. Contact us before signing a power of attorney so its wording and certification match the planned transaction. Additional shareholders, directors or unusual documents are included in a tailored proposal.

Banking and ongoing accounting

We help present the company’s ownership and business activity to the bank for its KYC review. We can also arrange the accounting handover so filing obligations are addressed from the beginning of your ownership.

Compare a new registration with a company acquisition

A new LLC starts with a clean corporate history. A readymade LLC is an existing legal person whose shares change hands. Its contracts, tax account and accounting history remain relevant after the transfer. Ask why an existing company is preferable for the intended business and which records support that choice.

Agree the transfer and the handover together

The transfer documents should identify the shares, price, payment arrangements and the seller’s statements about the business. Where the company has traded, use a dated balance sheet and a schedule of known liabilities. Decide who deals with a question relating to the period before completion and how records will be made available.

At handover, collect the current registry extract, charter, shareholder decisions, contracts, banking information and accounting export. Replace or revoke obsolete access and authorities through the proper institutional process. Keep a signed record of the materials delivered and the date responsibility passes to the incoming management.

Prepare for the first month of trading

Decide who signs customer contracts, how the company is funded and which account receives payments. Give the accountant the expected activity and first invoices before trading begins. VAT, payroll and foreign-supplier payments should be assessed from those transactions, while the annual accounts begin with reliable opening balances.
