The most common vehicle is the SRL (limited liability company), which a foreigner can set up with a single shareholder. We prepare the articles of association, handle Trade Registry filings, arrange the registered office, and deliver the CUI (tax ID). The process typically takes a few days once documents are complete.

What foreign investors ask us before incorporating in Romania
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often about setting up and running a company in Romania.
An SRL (limited liability company) is the most common form — fewer formalities, minimum share capital of 1 RON, and up to 50 shareholders. An SA (joint stock company) has higher minimum capital (90,000 RON), stricter governance, and is suited for larger operations or entities planning to issue shares to the public.
Yes. A Romanian SRL can have a single shareholder — either a natural person or a legal entity, Romanian or foreign. There is no nationality or residency restriction for shareholders or directors of an SRL.
Once all documents are ready and signed, Trade Registry registration typically takes 3 to 5 business days. The full process — from first consultation to receiving the CUI — usually runs 1 to 2 weeks, depending on how quickly shareholder documents are gathered.
The core set includes: articles of association, proof of registered office, shareholder identification documents (apostilled if foreign), director acceptance declarations, and Trade Registry forms. For corporate shareholders, we also need the parent's incorporation documents and a recent certificate from their home Trade Registry.
