Business relocation to Georgia

We help move a business to Georgia: choose the legal form, register a sole trader or LLC, prepare for the bank account, set up bookkeeping and arrange status for founders and staff.

The scope depends on what is moving: just the founder, a team, or an operating company with accounts and contracts. We name the exact scope and price after the review, before any work starts.

Kanon Georgia is a private law and accounting firm, not a government authority. The competent authority makes the decision; state fees are paid separately.

What the work covers

• Choosing the form: sole trader or LLC, the tax regime, and what it means for bookkeeping and the bank. Guide: LLC or sole trader.
• Incorporation of a sole trader or an LLC with standard or bespoke articles.
• Bank preparation: the document set and a description of the business for opening an account.
• IT virtual zone status for companies that develop software.
• Bookkeeping: setting up the books and filings from the first month.
• Right to work and residence for founders and foreign staff.
• Employment contracts with foreign employees.

What is not included

• Decisions of the bank and state bodies. The bank and the authorities make them; nobody can guarantee them.
• State fees. Paid separately.
• Monthly bookkeeping after launch: billed separately.
• Obtaining documents in another country where they are issued only to the founder in person.

What you will need

• Passports of the founders and the future director.
• A description of the business: what you sell, to whom, and where clients pay from.
• Documents of the existing company, if it is moving or becomes the founder.
• A list of staff who need status in Georgia.
• A power of attorney with apostille and translation, if we register without you travelling.

Missing part of the set is not a reason to wait. At the review it often turns out that half of what was collected is not needed and what is needed is missing.

How the work goes

1. You describe the case through the form, by email or in a messenger.
2. A lawyer reviews the facts: what you already have, what has to be obtained, where the weak points are.
3. We agree the scope and the price. Up to this point you pay nothing.
4. We sign a contract in which the scope of the service is set out in writing.
5. You hand over the documents, we check the set and tell you what is missing.
6. We run the procedure and keep you informed at every step.
7. You receive the result and the full set of documents.

Prices

Our fee and the state fee are counted separately.

Consultation from $30. The price for your case is confirmed before the work starts and fixed in the contract.

What is outside our control

• The bank's decisions: the bank decides whether to open an account and what documents to ask for.
• Decisions of state bodies and how long they take.
• The work of another country's authorities: certificates, apostilles, legalisation.
• Circumstances that already exist: previous refusals, mismatches in documents.

We tell you the weak points of the case before the work starts. If in our view the basis is shaky, you will hear it plainly rather than after filing.

Registration can be done under a power of attorney with an apostille and translation. Opening a bank account usually needs you in person: that is the bank's rule, not the register's.

About this page. It sets out the scope of our service and the general order of the procedure. It is not legal advice and not a public offer: the scope, the timing and the price for a particular matter are agreed individually and recorded in the contract. Requirements, fees and practice change, so anything here is checked against the position on the day you apply. In many procedures the final decision rests with the competent authority and its discretion, so a positive outcome cannot be guaranteed.
