Registering a company in Romania (SRL) means establishing a legal entity within the EU to work with international clients and potentially apply the 1% micro-enterprise tax regime (subject to eligibility criteria).
Romania is a suitable option for businesses working with EU clients, receiving payments in EUR, and planning to scale within the European Union. Service providers, IT companies, e-commerce businesses, and goods exporters most commonly choose the SRL structure.
Romania is a convenient base for launching a business in Europe: it's remote-friendly, has a strong IT market, and offers a clear corporate structure. The tax burden under the micro-enterprise regime is lower than in many other EU countries
All stages, from document preparation to company registration and NIF issuance — can be completed remotely
Ideal for companies with a small team and a straightforward operating model, where a clear setup and simple administration are important
Romania has a strong pool of IT and technical specialists, making it convenient for team scaling or local hiring for specific projects
Possibility to work with international clients through fintech providers and other modern payment instruments

Romania offers several tax regimes depending on turnover and business structure. Below are the main taxes and reporting requirements.
Several legal forms are available to non-residents in Romania. The choice depends on the business model, scaling plans, and applicable tax regime. For most operating companies, the optimal solution is an SRL. The tax regime is determined separately based on turnover and the business model.
The most common legal form for small and medium-sized businesses. Comparable to a Ukrainian LLC or a Polish sp. z o.o.
– Minimum share capital — 500 RON (≈100 €)
– Shareholders: one or more individuals or legal entities (including non-residents)
– Liability is limited to the contributed capital
An SRL is suitable for:
– IT companies and digital agencies
– E-commerce businesses and marketplace sellers
– Consulting and freelance activities
– Small teams with a straightforward operational structure
Suitable for non-residents registering a business in Romania.
Societate pe Acțiuni (SA) is a Romanian joint-stock company designed for large businesses, business expansion, and raising investment from shareholders.

Describe your request
Yes. 100% of the founders and directors of a Romanian company may be non-residents. Romanian citizenship or a residence permit is not required to register an SRL.
For operational activities, a bank or payment account must be opened. Conditions depend on the business structure and the company’s economic presence in Romania.
No. A Romanian SRL does not require a local director. A non-resident may act as a director.
In some cases (depending on the bank or business activity), having a local contact representative may simplify operational procedures.
Yes. An SRL can be managed entirely remotely. The founders and director may reside outside Romania.
Accounting, reporting, and most corporate procedures are handled online through electronic systems. Personal presence is usually required only for certain banking procedures (depending on the bank).
Yes. To apply the 1% micro-enterprise tax regime, the company must have at least one employee.
If there is no employee, the tax rate may change, or the company may switch to a different taxation regime. The applicable conditions depend on turnover and the type of activity.
VAT registration becomes mandatory once the company exceeds the annual turnover threshold established in Romania.A company may also voluntarily register for VAT to work with EU partners or to operate in e-commerce.
For online sales within the EU, the OSS (One-Stop-Shop) system may be used for centralized VAT reporting.
A bank account can be opened either with a Romanian bank or with an EU payment institution. The bank’s decision depends on the company's structure, business activity, and the presence of economic substance in Romania (e.g., an office, employees, contracts).
As an alternative, European fintech platforms such as Wise, Revolut Business, or Payoneer account, may be used. These solutions support international payments and provide SEPA accounts.
