LLC Registration in Georgia 2026: Steps, Cost and Documents

LLC registration in Georgia is one of the fastest procedures in the region — usually one working day, or same-day with expedited filing. This guide walks through the steps, cost, and documents you need for 2026.

What an LLC is and when to choose it

A limited liability company (LLC) is the most common form: partners are liable only up to their contributed share, not with personal assets. Unlike an individual entrepreneur, an LLC is a separate legal person — suited to working with partners, investment, or growth plans.

Registration steps

1. Name and legal address

Choose a unique name and confirm a legal address — you need the owner's consent or a lease document.

2. Charter and partners' decision

Prepare the charter and the founders' minutes or decision setting out capital, shares, and the director.

3. Registration at the House of Justice or Public Registry

You can file in person or through a representative by power of attorney. Registration is handled by both the National Agency of Public Registry and the House of Justice.

4. Bank account

After registration, open the company account; the bank will run its identification checks.

Cost and timing

LLC registration within one working day costs 200 GEL, or 400 GEL on the day of filing. A signature-certification fee of 7 GEL is added. The procedure is usually completed quickly.

Documents you need

• founder's ID or passport;

• charter and decision to establish;

• proof of legal address (owner's consent or lease);

• director's consent;

• power of attorney if a representative files.

Common mistakes

Frequent errors include a poorly drafted charter, the wrong activity code, and late attention to VAT or small-business status. Choosing the right tax regime from the start, for example the 1% small-business status, saves money.

Frequently asked questions

Can I register remotely?

Yes, by power of attorney — a representative files on your behalf.

Is a minimum capital required?

No fixed minimum capital is required for an LLC by law; set it in the charter.

When must I register for VAT?

VAT liability usually arises once turnover passes the threshold; check the current threshold before you start trading.
