The preferred type of business entity in Bulgaria is a private limited liability company. This is similar to a LTD or LLC in the USA, or a GmbH or SA in Germany. This kind of company structure provides an extra level of protection for the personal assets of the owners. In the event that a claim is made against the company, the shareholders are only liable to lose up to the amount of their subscribed share capital. A single-member limited liability company is also possible which is known as EOOD and the one shareholder can be the sole manager of the business.

The actual procedure of incorporating a business in Bulgaria consists of submitting notarized foundation deeds, minutes of the meeting of incorporation and a bank certificate stating the share capital to the Trade Register. The company must be registered for VAT and obtain its tax identification number. After this the company can start operating.
