The practical guide to starting in Bulgaria

Before opening a company, it is worth understanding what running a Bulgarian one actually involves. That is what we wrote the book for: over 140 pages of practice rather than promises — including for the readers who finish it and conclude that Bulgaria is not for them.

What you will work out

  • Is Bulgaria actually suitable for my business?
  • What company structures are commonly used?

  • What should you know about taxes and accounting?
  • How do banking and payments work?
  • What does operating a Bulgarian company involve?
  • What mistakes do international founders make?
  • What changes if you actually relocate to Bulgaria?
