Question: What documents do I need for establishing an LLC in Romania?
Answer:
The document that establishes a limited liability company in Romania is called “articles of incorporation” and it is unique in its form. This kind of company can also be founded on the basis of a social contract and a statute, or only with a statute in case there is just one associate.
In the articles of incorporation, the main details which must be mentioned are:
- the personal information of the shareholders;
- the company’s name and its registered office;
- the company’s activities specifying the main;
- secondary commercial activities and other specific aspects regarding the associates.
Our team of lawyers in Romania can help investors draft and prepare these documents for submission.
Question: How many shareholders can a Romanian Limited Liability Company have?
Answer: Regulations regarding setting up of a Romanian company allow a single shareholder to establish a Limited Liability Company. The law forbids this shareholder to be a unique partner in other limited liability companies and this corporation can only be established by a maximum of 50 associates. In the LLC, the shareholders respond within the limit of their contribution to social capital and the social obligations are guaranteed by the social patrimony.
Each shareholder has the right to attend the General Meeting of Shareholders, but also the duties and responsibilities which come with this position. The liabilities of the shareholders can be further discussed by our Romanian lawyers.
