Advanced Corporate Strategies: EU Holding Companies
Bulgaria is a highly strategic location for setting up an EU Holding Company. Under the EU Parent-Subsidiary Directive, dividends paid from an active subsidiary located in another EU member state to a Bulgarian parent holding company are entirely exempt from local withholding taxes.
Combined with our low 5% dividend tax on distribution to individual shareholders, Bulgaria provides one of the most cost-efficient and secure corporate wealth accumulation and distribution networks in the modern business world.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can a foreigner own 100% of a Bulgarian company?
Yes, absolutely. Foreign individuals and foreign legal entities can own 100% of the shares in a Bulgarian Limited Liability Company (EOOD). There are no restrictions on foreign ownership or management.
Do I need to visit Bulgaria to register the company?
No. We can handle the entire process remotely through a Power of Attorney (POA). You only need to sign the documents and have them notarized or apostilled in your home country and send them to us by courier.
What are the annual maintenance costs for a Bulgarian company?
The main costs are accounting services (mandatory monthly for VAT-registered companies), registered office address (Virtual Office), and state taxes for annual financial statements. Bulgaria remains the most cost-effective business jurisdiction in the EU.
How long does VAT registration take?
Standard VAT registration usually takes 7 to 14 days after the company is incorporated. If you need it for EU intra-community trade (VIES), we apply for it simultaneously with the general VAT registration.
Is a Bulgarian company suitable for Amazon FBA or Dropshipping?
Yes. Many international sellers use Bulgarian companies to benefit from the 10% corporate tax rate while selling across the EU and globally. We can assist with the specific VAT settings required for e-commerce.
