Why Bulgaria

Close to Türkiye, within the European market.

With EU membership, the euro, a 10% corporate tax rate and direct transport links to Türkiye, Bulgaria offers a strong base for Turkish entrepreneurs who want to establish a company and grow in Europe.

10%

Lowest Tax in the EU

A flat 10% corporate and personal income tax makes Bulgaria one of the most competitive tax regimes in the European Union.

The Convenience of Doing Business in Euros

Bulgaria has been a member of the euro area since 1 January 2026. Pricing, payments and financial planning in euros make transactions within Europe simpler.

27

EU & Schengen Market

A company established in Bulgaria provides a local structure for working with customers and business partners throughout the EU. VAT, product and sector-specific rules must still be assessed for each activity.

1h

Direct Links with Türkiye

The shared border and regular road and air connections provide an important advantage for management, logistics and business meetings.

Low Operating Costs

Labour, office and operational costs well below Western European levels — higher profit margins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What you should know before forming a company.

The questions we receive most often about company formation, bank accounts, tax and employing staff in Bulgaria.

Can a Turkish citizen own 100% of a Bulgarian company?

Yes. A Turkish citizen can generally be the sole owner of an EOOD or a shareholder in an OOD. A Bulgarian partner is not normally required. Regulated sectors and certain investments may require additional licensing or screening.

How long does company formation take?

Once the documents are complete, Commercial Register filing usually takes between 3 and 7 working days. When notarial procedures, apostilles, translations, banking and VAT matters are included, planning 2 to 3 weeks for the full process is more realistic. The exact timing depends on your case and the institutions involved.

Can I employ staff through my Bulgarian company?

Yes. You can employ staff through your Bulgarian company. Doing it correctly means keeping HR documentation compliant — employment contracts, payroll and social security registrations. We help you choose the right employment structure for your operations and staffing plan.

What taxes will my Bulgarian company pay?

Bulgarian companies are generally subject to 10% corporate tax. The standard VAT rate is 20%; VAT registration may be mandatory or voluntary depending on your turnover and transactions. Dividends, salaries, social security and cross-border activities must be assessed separately.

Can you help me buy property in Bulgaria?

Yes. Real estate is one of our core services. We help you find residential or commercial property, carry out legal due diligence, handle the notary deed, and structure the purchase correctly — whether you are buying to live, to rent, or to invest.

Do I need to visit Bulgaria to form a company?

A significant part of the formation process can be completed through a notarised power of attorney. However, a bank, notary or specific application may require your personal presence. We clarify this before starting, based on your company structure and the selected bank.
