Our Services

Everything a foreign business needs to establish, operate, and grow in Bulgaria — under one roof


6 Core Service Areas — All Under One Roof

10% Flat Corporate Tax — Lowest in the EU

7 Supporting Service Disciplines per Area

1 Integrated Team — No Coordination Gaps

All our services — in one place

Bulgaria for Business VCC is a single integrated professional services firm covering every discipline a foreign business needs to establish, operate, and grow in Bulgaria. From registering your first Bulgarian company through to hiring a country manager, acquiring a business, or obtaining an EU-passportable financial licence — you deal with one team, one relationship, and one point of accountability throughout.

The six service areas below are not independent silos. They are integrated practice areas staffed by a team that works together — lawyers who understand accounting implications, accountants who know the employment law context, HR specialists who coordinate with the legal team on contracts. This integration is what separates Bulgaria for Business VCC from a collection of single-discipline providers.

ONE FIRM — SIX SERVICE AREAS — ZERO COORDINATION GAPS: The most expensive professional mistake is the one that falls between two advisors. When your corporate restructuring has tax implications and HR consequences, all three disciplines need to be aligned — simultaneously, not sequentially. Bulgaria for Business VCC is built precisely to eliminate this risk. Every service area you see on this page is delivered by our in-house team, not referred to external providers.

How our services connect — the client journey

Most international clients use more than one service area. The six areas below connect naturally — each enabling the next. Understanding this sequence helps you plan your Bulgarian expansion efficiently.

01 — Company Establishment

Bulgaria for Business VCC handles the full registration process — from entity type selection through to Commercial Register confirmation — with no requirement for you to visit Bulgaria.

Services covered:

10% Flat corporate income tax — lowest rate in the EU

02 — Legal Services

EU-qualified lawyers for foreign entrepreneurs — corporate, contract, tax and IP law

Our lawyers are qualified members of the Bulgarian Bar Association and provide advice grounded in Bulgarian law and EU regulation — delivered in English, with fixed-fee proposals wherever possible. Legal and accounting services operate as one team — eliminating the coordination gaps that arise when legal and financial advice come from separate firms.

Fixed Fees for standard services — no open-ended billing uncertainty
EN / BG All legal documents available in English and Bulgarian simultaneously
Integrated Legal and accounting — no coordination delay between disciplines
EU Law expertise — GDPR, AML, MiFID II, MiCA applied in the Bulgarian context

03 — Accounting & Tax

Full-service accounting, tax and compliance — remotely delivered in English

Every Bulgarian company — trading, dormant, or newly registered — has ongoing legal obligations: monthly bookkeeping, periodic VAT returns, annual financial statements, and corporate income tax filings. Bulgaria for Business VCC provides a complete, remotely delivered accounting and tax compliance function for internationally managed companies. A dedicated English-speaking accountant is assigned to each client. All reporting is delivered in both Bulgarian (statutory) and English (management).

Mandatory Accounting is mandatory even for dormant companies — nil return still required annually
10% Flat corporate income tax — annual return due by 31 March
20% / 9% Standard VAT rate; 9% reduced rate for hospitality and tourism
EN All accounting deliverables available in English for international management reporting

04 — Regulatory Licensing

EU-passportable licences for Forex, crypto, gambling and transport operators

Bulgaria offers foreign entrepreneurs access to a range of EU-regulated licences through a cost-competitive, EU-compliant framework. A regulated licence obtained in Bulgaria carries the same legal standing as one obtained in Germany or the Netherlands — because it is issued under the same EU regulatory framework — and can be passported across all 27 EU member states. Bulgaria for Business VCC provides end-to-end licensing support from regulatory feasibility assessment through to licence issuance and ongoing compliance.

A Bulgarian licence is a genuine EU licence — same rights, same obligations, lower cost
Forex licence: from €125k (limited) to €730k (full MiFID II)
MiCA CASP: from €50k capital, 3–12 months timeline
Transport EU Community Licence: from €9k per vehicle, 1–3 months

05 — Real Estate

Buy, rent or invest in Bulgarian property — full legal support for foreign buyers

Bulgaria offers one of the most accessible property markets in the EU — prices per square metre in Sofia, Black Sea resorts, and ski destinations are a fraction of comparable EU markets, yet Bulgaria is a full EU member state with established property rights and a notary-based purchase process. Bulgaria for Business VCC provides full legal support for all types of property transactions — from initial due diligence through to notary completion, registration, and post-acquisition tax compliance. We are the independent buyer-side legal partner — not a real estate agent.

~€800/m² Average Sofia apartment price — among the lowest in the EU
~€400/m² Coastal and mountain property — Black Sea and Bansko
EOOD Non-EU buyers must use a Bulgarian company to purchase land — we handle this
3% Municipal property tax — low by EU standards

06 — Recruitment & HR

Bulgaria employment agency — hiring, executive search, payroll and HR administration

Bulgaria for Business VCC is an international recruitment agency and HR partner for foreign-owned companies building and managing Bulgarian teams. We combine deep local market knowledge with integrated legal, accounting, and compliance expertise — making us the only provider in Bulgaria covering recruitment, employment law, payroll, and HR administration under one roof. From your first Bulgarian hire to an ongoing team of 50, we handle the full employment lifecycle in English.

~€900/mo Average gross salary — lowest in the EU for comparable skill levels

Form 1 Must be filed within 3 days before employee start date — mandatory
