How to open a company in Moldova in 2026
Opening a company does not start with submitting an application. It starts with the right preparation: what the business will do, which legal form to choose, which CAEM activities to include, who will be the founder and administrator, which address to use, what share capital to set and how the company will operate after registration.
ASIP.MD supports company registration turnkey: consultation, documents, power of attorney, filing with ASP, collection of documents, application to the chosen bank and preparation for accounting launch.
Self-registration is possible, but an error in the name, CAEM, address, application, administrator or tax logic may lead to rescheduling, document correction or company changes after registration.
What to decide before registering a company in Moldova
Registration records the structure that has already been chosen. Before filing, you need to define the business form, name, legal address, administrator, founders, share capital from 1 leu, CAEM activities and tax model.
SRL or individual enterprise
SRL is suitable for a business with growth, partners, banking, employees and limited personal risks. An individual enterprise is simpler, but the entrepreneur acts in their own name and at their own risk.
Founder and administrator
You need to decide who owns the company, who manages it, who signs documents and whether any restrictions may affect registration or bank compliance.
Legal address
A company cannot be registered without an address. The address affects registration data, correspondence, banking, tax records and future changes.
Share capital
Capital may start from 1 leu, but the amount should be chosen deliberately: banks, partners, tenders and future deals may look at the company structure.
How to open a company on your own through ASP
The self-registration route requires preparing all decisions before the visit: name, address, CAEM, founder and administrator data, capital, beneficial owner and the document package for filing.
If the application or documents contain mistakes, the process may take longer. If the error is discovered after opening, a company change procedure may be needed, which is often more complex and more expensive than correct initial registration.
Company changesWhat is usually prepared
- checking or reserving the company name
- decision on business form: SRL, individual enterprise or another format
- legal address and basis for using it
- founder, administrator and beneficial owner data
- share capital amount from 1 leu
- main and additional CAEM activities
- ASP appointment and filing of the application
- payment of fees and preparation of confirmations
Where mistakes most often appear when opening a company
The name may not pass the check or may be formulated incorrectly for future documents and banking.
A CAEM list that is too narrow or incorrect can block a new activity, IT Park, licenses, permits or accounting setup.
An improperly prepared legal address may create issues at registration, bank compliance or future address change.
If VAT, employees, import, banking and accounting are not analyzed in advance, the company may be registered but not ready to work.
Before filing, restrictions and budget risks should be checked
Before registration, it is important to check whether the future founder, administrator or selected structure has obvious obstacles for filing. Budget debts and other circumstances should also be assessed because they may affect registration, banking or business launch.
We check whether there are risks that may prevent registration, administrator appointment or later bank compliance.
We assess possible budget debts and related risks in advance, so they are not discovered after filing or during bank onboarding.
We check founder, administrator, address, name, CAEM and beneficial owner data before the application is prepared.
A mistake at the start may require company changes later. This is a separate procedure with additional steps.
