Before filing

Clarify the business activity, founders, management and registered office before submitting documents to the Public Services Agency. The constitutional documents should reflect the actual agreement between the founders, rather than only a generic template.

Ten steps

  • Choose the appropriate legal form.
  • Identify the founder or founders and their participation.
  • Check the filing procedure with the Public Services Agency.
  • Choose and verify the company name.
  • Appoint the administrator and define authority.
  • Establish a lawful registered office.
  • Determine the share capital and contributions.
  • Prepare the constitutional documents.
  • Declare the beneficial owner as required.
  • After registration, organise the bank account, accounting and core contracts.

Why legal review matters

Errors concerning management powers, ownership percentages, contributions or the registered office can create delays and later disputes. Legal review should be adapted to the planned business, licences and relationship between the founders.

Official legislation should be checked in the version applicable to the facts. legis.md ↗
