Requirements for opening a restaurant in Bulgaria
Considering the strategic geographic location of
Bulgaria, with important exits to the Black Sea, the business opportunities are also numerous in the tourism sector where foreigners can establish hotels, resorts, travel agencies and even
restaurants. Knowing that the
food industry in Bulgaria is well-developed and receiving varied incentives in this field as a foreigner, a
restaurant can be a proper source of income not only in the touristic cities but also in the main metropolises in
Bulgaria. A restaurant can function under a
limited liability company which is the most popular business structure in the country and which has an easy incorporation procedure. The
LLC or drujestvo s ogranichena otgovornost (OOD) as it is known in
Bulgaria requires a minimum share capital of BGN 2 or one Euro provided in a Bulgarian bank account, but there are also other costs linked to
company formation. The next step is to submit the Articles of Association with the following information:
- • the name of the restaurant;
- • the name and the nationality of the owners;
- • the minimum share capital;
- • the business address;
- • the representative agent of the company which can be either the manager or another company.
