Company Formation & Start-Up Advisory
We register your SRL or sole-trader business with the Trade Register in 3-5 working days and guide you through the first decisions: activity codes, tax regime, bookkeeping and banking.
What it is
Setting up a company in Romania involves far more than filing a dossier with the National Trade Register Office (ONRC). It means choosing the right legal form (SRL, SRL-D, sole trader or individual enterprise), the primary and secondary NACE activity codes, the VAT regime and the way you will keep your books. Each of these decisions carries tax consequences for years. Our company formation service covers the full journey: name reservation, drafting the articles of association, statutory declarations, registered office, online filing with ONRC and fiscal registration with ANAF, including a VAT number where it makes sense.
Benefits
You work with a team that has set up and accompanied dozens of companies in Romania and the Republic of Moldova, from online publishers to transport firms and fintech platforms. You receive a complete package – documents, digital signature, ANAF Virtual Private Space account, accountant recommendation – and avoid the classic mistakes: missing activity codes, an expired registered office, VAT thresholds exceeded without noticing. The fee is fixed, from EUR 99 plus ONRC duties, and the first advisory session is included.
How we work
We start with a 30-minute conversation about what you want to do and with whom. We propose the right structure, prepare the documents within 24 hours, you sign them electronically or in person, then we file the dossier and follow the ruling. At the end you receive the registration certificate, the tax ID and a practical guide for the first 90 days: invoicing, e-Factura, tax returns and employer obligations.

What EU funding is available for my company in 2026?+
In 2026 there are still open calls under the Regional Programmes (North-East, North-West etc.) for digitalisation and equipment, the Recovery and Resilience components for SMEs, national schemes such as Start-Up Nation and Micro-industrialisation, plus programmes for the Republic of Moldova. We run a free eligibility pre-assessment within 48 hours, and project writing starts at 590 EUR (EU Funding Pack), with a success fee only on approval.
How much does a business plan cost and how quickly is it ready?+
The Business Plan Pack costs 349 EUR and is ready in 10-14 working days: market analysis, 3-5 year financial model, cash-flow forecasts, SWOT analysis and a presentation for the bank or investors. For plans required by funding programmes we use the exact structure and scoring grid of that call, so the project scores as highly as possible at evaluation.
Can you help me set up a company in Romania or the Republic of Moldova?+
Yes. The Start-Up Pack (199 EUR) covers advice on the legal form, business activity codes, preparation of the Trade Register file, tax registration and the initial set-up of accounting and e-invoicing. For the Republic of Moldova we work through our sister company in Chișinău, and for Romanian citizens in Italy we offer complete remote assistance, including notarised power of attorney.
What does “digital transformation” actually mean for an SME?+
It means replacing paper, parallel spreadsheets and lost messages with a clear workflow: a CRM for customers and quotes, electronic invoicing integrated with the national e-invoicing and SAF-T systems, electronic signatures, stock management and automated reports. We start with a 2-3 day process audit, deliver a roadmap with priorities and costs, then implement in stages so your team does not stall during the transition.
