Important Updates
to Georgia's Law
"On Entrepreneurs"
What Has Changed?
On January 1, 2022, amendments to the Law of Georgia "On Entrepreneurs" came into effect. This is the basic law regulating the registration and operation of companies and sole proprietorship in Georgia. The amendments are very important, in fact they have rewritten the original law from 2008 and established several mandatory requirements for companies registered before the amendments came into force (before January 1, 2022)

What Actions Are Required?
Align your company's charter with the requirements of the new legislation.
#1
Term: until December 31, 2023.
Procedure: Applicable fees are required.
Registration deadline: Within 1 business day.
Register a personal account on the electronic portal. The portal will operate in parallel with the Public Registry
#2
Joint-stock companies must amass a minimum capital of GEL 100,000 within 5 years from the date the amended charter of the company is registered, unless a shorter period is stipulated in the charter itself.
#3

The Risks
The Risks: Companies that do not align their charters with the new law or fail to authorize themselves on the portal risk being removed from the Public Register in accordance with the procedures established by law.
The Challenge
Although registering a new charter in the Public Register and authorizing on the electronic portal are quick procedures, the preparatory stages can take several months, especially for companies with multiple partners, foreign partners, legal entity partners.

The Solution

Our corporate lawyers will prepare individual charters for your company, taking into account the specifics of partner obligations, management structure, decision-making processes, profit distribution, and other key considerations.
