How long does the company registration process take in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
The duration of registration depends on several factors, but the basic process of establishing an LLC (d.o.o.) is usually completed within about 2–4 weeks. You will receive the Company Registration Decision and a JIB (Unique Identification Number) once the competent court or agency processes your application. Our team monitors the entire process and speeds it up as much as possible so that you can start doing business in the shortest possible time.
What are the basic requirements for starting a company in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
To establish a limited liability company (d.o.o.) in BiH, you need a minimum founding capital of 1,000 KM, a unique business address in BiH where the company will be registered, and the necessary documentation. The documentation includes the founding act, copies of personal documents of the founders and directors, and proof of paid-in capital. Our team will guide you through all the requirements in detail and help you collect the necessary documents.
Can a foreign citizen establish a company in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Yes, foreign individuals and legal entities can establish a company in BiH. The registration process for foreigners involves a few additional steps, such as obtaining certified translations of personal documents and possibly securing certain approvals, but we will provide you with complete support throughout the process. Our services are often used by members of the diaspora and foreign investors who want to start a business in BiH.
Is a physical office required to register a company?
No, it is not necessary to have your own office space. Your company must have a registered business address, but this can also be a virtual office. If you do not have an address for registration or do not wish to rent office space right away, we can provide you with a business address through our virtual office service. This way, you fulfill the legal requirement without the cost of a traditional office.
What do your accounting services include after company formation?
Our accounting services cover everything your company needs financially: keeping daily and general ledgers, payroll processing for employees, calculating taxes and contributions, maintaining VAT records and filings (if you are in the VAT system), preparing annual financial statements, and handling any financial reporting to institutions. We also provide tax and financial consulting to help you optimize your operations. You can engage our accounting services immediately after registering your company or at any later stage.
