Georgia continues to attract international entrepreneurs in 2025: low taxes, fast bureaucracy, and a strategic location make it a true business hub between Europe and Asia.
According to the National Public Registry Agency, foreigners registered more than 12,000 companies in 2024, which is 15% more than the previous year.
Why is Georgia so popular?
We have identified five key advantages that make this country ideal for your business, and we will guide you on how to make the most of them.
1. Low taxes and preferential regimes
Georgia offers one of the most favorable tax systems in the world:
- For small businesses (up to 500,000 GEL in annual revenue), the tax rate is only 1%, and reporting is not required for income up to 30,000 GEL;
- For LLCs, the corporate tax is 15%, but only on distributed profits — if you reinvest the income, you won't have to pay any tax;
- In the free economic zones (FEZs) of Tbilisi, Kutaisi, and Poti, companies are exempt from VAT (18%) and income tax on exports.
❗️ Compare: In Germany, the income tax is 30%, while in the UAE, it is 9% as of 2023, but with higher registration costs.
2. Quick and easy registration
It takes only one day to start a business in Georgia, which is a world record and confirms the country's 7th place in the Doing Business 2024 ranking.
Fees and Deadlines
IP:
• regular, the next day — 61.50 GEL (~$22)
• accelerated, the same day — 111.50 GEL (~$45);LLC:
• regular, in two business days — 241 GEL (~$86)
• accelerated, the next day — 441 GEL (~$158);
After that, you will receive a registration certificate and a unique identification number (company ID).
There is no minimum share capital required for an LLC; a symbolic 100 GEL is sufficient.
In 2025, the process became even easier thanks to the my.gov.ge portal, where you can apply online in 10 minutes if you have an electronic signature.
🚩In Europe, by comparison, registration takes between 2 weeks and 2 months and costs an average of $500–1000.
3. Access to international markets
Georgia is a bridge between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
The country has free trade agreements with the EU, China, Turkey, and the CIS countries, covering a market of 2.3 billion people.
Exports from Georgia to the EU increased by 20% in 2024, reaching $1.2 billion, according to the Ministry of Economy. Add to this the ports of Batumi and Poti, which handle 500,000 tons of cargo annually, and you have an ideal base for logistics and trade.
4. Loyalty to foreigners
Foreigners in Georgia have the same business rights as local residents.
You do not need a Georgian partner or a residence permit to register a company.
In 2025, more than 40% of new businesses in Tbilisi were opened by non-residents from Russia, Ukraine, India, and the EU.
Opening a bank account for foreigners takes 1-2 days, and the service fee is about 10 GEL per month at TBC Bank or Bank of Georgia.
➕ Investments of at least 300,000 GEL entitle you to a residence permit, and after 10 years, to citizenship.
5. Low operating costs
Business costs in Georgia are much lower than in Europe or the United States:
- Office rental in Tbilisi starts at 200 GEL per month ($70);
- The average employee salary is 1,200 GEL ($430), which is 3-4 times cheaper than in Poland or Estonia;
- Utilities: Electricity costs 0.18 GEL per kWh (one of the lowest rates in the region), and internet costs 30 GEL per month for 100 Mbps.
✅Bottom line: starting a startup in Georgia will cost between \$500 and \$1,000, while in Dubai, the cost starts at \$10,000.
Why is this relevant in 2025?
The global economy remains unstable, and entrepreneurs are looking for reliable jurisdictions.
Georgia offers stability: GDP of the country grew by 6.8% in 2024, and inflation was only 2.5%.
This makes it an attractive alternative to overheated markets like the UAE or Cyprus, where competition and the cost of living are rising.
How to use the benefits?
To make the most of these advantages, it is important to get started correctly.
Mistakes in choosing a tax regime, filling out documents, or finding an address can increase costs by 20-30%.
For example, in 2024, 25% of foreign companies faced fines of 100 GEL or more due to incorrect reporting, according to the Tax Service.
