How Much Does It Cost to Register a Company in Georgia? (2026 Breakdown)

A transparent, line-by-line cost breakdown for registering a Georgian LLC remotely in 2026: state fees, notarization and apostille, translation, courier, registered address, service fees, VAT — plus the ongoing costs and the items that are only priced after assessment.

Most pricing pages show one number and hide the rest. Real remote formation has several independent cost lines — some fixed, some depending on your country, and some that no honest provider can quote before assessing your case. Here is the full picture for a remotely registered Georgian LLC in 2026.

The one-off cost lines

  • Formation service fee — the provider's own work: legal drafting, name check, charter, filing, coordination. At Trustlex this is a fixed €350.
  • State registration fee — paid to the Public Registry; a modest fixed amount (roughly tens of euros; expedited same-day filing costs about double the standard fee).
  • Notary and certified translation in Georgia — the charter, founder decision and supporting documents notarized and translated; typically in the €90 range in a standard file.
  • Courier of originals — sending your notarized, apostilled Power of Attorney and passport copy to Tbilisi by tracked courier; usually €50–90 depending on your country.
  • Identity verification — a third-party KYC check; a small fixed cost (about €35).

Costs that happen in YOUR country (often forgotten)

  • Notarization of the Power of Attorney before your local notary — local notary rates apply.
  • Apostille (Hague Convention countries) or consular legalization — from tens to a couple of hundred euros depending on the country.
  • These are paid by you locally and are not part of any Georgian provider's invoice — but they are real costs of the remote route, so budget them.

VAT — only on service fees, not on disbursements

Georgian VAT (18%) applies to the provider's service fees. Government fees, notary charges, courier and third-party checks are pass-through disbursements — an honest invoice does not add VAT on top of them. If a quote charges VAT on the state fee, ask why.

What can only be priced after assessment

  • Licensing work (crypto/VASP, payments, gaming) — scoped and quoted case by case.
  • Virtual Zone or International Company status applications — depend on your substance and evidence file.
  • Complex structures: corporate shareholders, multiple jurisdictions, regulated activities.
  • A provider that quotes a flat price for these before seeing your case is guessing — and you will pay for the guess later.

Ongoing costs after registration

  • Registered legal address — commonly around €500 per year.
  • Accounting and tax filings — from roughly €85 per month for a simple company, scaling with activity.
  • Local secretary / contact person, mailroom, phone line — optional monthly add-ons (tens of euros each).
  • Bank account opening support — often priced from ~€135 as a one-off where you want help with the file.

A realistic total

For a straightforward single-founder remote LLC, the complete one-off package — service fee, state fee, Georgian notary and translation, courier, identity check and VAT on the service component — typically lands in the €600–700 range, plus whatever your local notary and apostille cost at home. First-year running costs (address plus basic accounting) add roughly €1,000–1,600 depending on activity. Anyone quoting dramatically less is usually leaving lines out; you will meet them later as 'extras'.
