Start a Business in Romania

SRL basics, tax planning, accountants, and practical setup notes for founders.

Start a Business in Romania

Romania is popular with freelancers and small companies because setup is relatively fast and company taxes can be attractive. The details depend on revenue, activity code, employees, VAT status, and owner residency.

Common Structure

Most small businesses start as an SRL, Romania's limited liability company. Freelancers may also compare PFA registration.

Setup Needs

You usually need a company name, registered address, activity codes, articles of association, owner documents, and accounting support.

Get an Accountant Early

A Romanian accountant is essential for payroll, VAT, e-Factura, declarations, dividends, and social contribution planning.
