Features of purchasing a ready-made company in Bulgaria

Why Bulgaria is a practical jurisdiction for business in the EU

Low income tax: the corporate and personal income tax rates in Bulgaria are 10%.
Standard VAT rate of 20%: a clear VAT system for transactions within the EU.
EU and euro: Bulgaria has used the euro as its official currency since 1 January 2026.

Balkan and European markets: the jurisdiction is suitable for trade, logistics, IT, and service business models.

Why it is important to verify the bank account, EIK, and tax history

Before purchasing a ready-made company, it is important to verify not only its registration but also the actual status of the legal entity: its EIK, director, registered office, history of changes, bank account, VAT status, financial statements, tax liabilities, and potential undisclosed risks.

Why a Bulgarian company requires a director

The director represents the OOD / EOOD before banks, registers, tax authorities, and counterparties. After the purchase, the existing director may be retained for a transitional period or replaced to meet the requirements of the owner, bank, and business model.

What guarantees does the buyer receive?

Verification of the company’s registration in the Commercial Register
Analysis of the EIK, incorporation documents, and ownership structure
Verification of the bank account, access rights, and KYC status
Formal confirmation of the seller’s guarantees regarding debts and undisclosed liabilities
Support with changing the owner, director, and corporate control
Confidentiality of the beneficial owner’s data within the applicable legal procedure

Taxation of a Bulgarian company

The standard corporate income tax rate in Bulgaria is 10%. The standard VAT rate is 20%. Dividends distributed to non-residents outside the EU / EEA may be subject to a 5% withholding tax unless another regime or tax treaty applies. The company must maintain accounting records, submit reports, and comply with tax and banking compliance requirements.
