Romanian lawyers specialized in opening companies

Our team has extensive experience in matters related to company formation in Romania. We start by advising our clients on the suitable business form they may choose when deciding to invest in Romania. After this choice is made in a fully informed manner, we will assist the company founders throughout the incorporation procedure.

Our company formation package includes the following services:

1. Reserve the company name: the name of the new company needs to be unique and must be reserved before incorporation; we recommend that investors propose three different names.
2. Document drafting: our lawyers can assist investors in drafting the company’s Articles of Association as well as the director’s and the shareholder’s statements.
3. Share capital: we can help business owners open the bank account and deposit the required shared capital, as per the chosen business type.
4. Form filling in: we will help the company founders fill in the application form, as required by the Trade Register.
5. Complete the registration: once the registration form is completed and the documents are prepared, we can submit the documents to the Trade Register, as a legal representative of the company founders.
6. Subsequent steps: we are also able to assist for VAT registration purposes as well as for obtaining the mandatory special permits and licenses.

We remind investors that several issues need to be taken into consideration for company formation purposes in Romania. These are choosing the NACE codes (or CAEN in Romanian) and establishing the registered address of the company, a mandatory step that needs to be handled in the pre-registration phase in order to be able to complete the Trade Register formalities.

The NACE codes are the ones that refer to the company’s primary activity. Each new business is required to assign a code for the primary activity and as many other codes for the secondary ones. It is recommended to draw up the business plan and assign as many additional codes as it can be foreseen for the future evolution of the company. It is advisable to do so because any other code addition or changes after registration will involve other submissions and document preparation for the Trade Register. If companies do however need to make subsequent changes, one of our Romanian lawyers can provide the needed assistance.

Choosing a registered address for the company is required as this information is mandatory when preparing the registration documents and when registering the business. The address is included in the company’s Articles of Association, however, it does not need to be the same as the company’s headquarters. This can be another address, as decided by the founders or as per the needs of the business. Like the NACE codes, the registered address can be modified after registration, however it will also imply a notification and a formal request for change that is to be lodged with the Trade Register.
