Company Formation and Consulting in Montenegro: A Step by Step Guide

Montenegro stands out as an attractive country in terms of business establishment and investment. Low tax rates, strategic location and investor-friendly policies make Montenegro attractive for entrepreneurs. In this article, we will discuss in detail the steps to be taken in the process of establishing a company in Montenegro and the consultancy services we offer.

1. Determination of the Type of Company

The first step for those wishing to set up a company in Montenegro is to determine the appropriate company type. The most common company types in Montenegro include Limited Company (DOO) and Joint Stock Company (AD). When determining your company type, it is important to consider your business model, investment objectives and legal obligations. Choosing a company type that is appropriate for your industry and business size will make it easier to manage the legal and financial processes you may face in the future.

Limited Company (DOO): An ideal company type for small and medium-sized businesses. The incorporation process is simple and requires low capital.

Incorporated Company (AD): Suitable for larger capital investments and has a shareholder structure. This type of company is often preferred for large-scale projects.

2. Official Registration Procedures and Preparation of Documents

One of the most important steps of the company formation process is the official registration. In order to officially establish your company in Montenegro, you need to prepare the necessary documents and register with the Trade Registry. With the consultancy services we offer in this process, we ensure that the documents are prepared completely and correctly.

Company Incorporation Agreement: This document, which includes information such as the company’s structure, field of activity and capital status, is required for the company to be officially established.

Identity and Address Documents: Passport copies and residence documents of the company founders must be submitted.

3. Communication with Local Authorities and Licenses

You may need to obtain permits and licenses from local authorities to operate in certain sectors in Montenegro.
