Company registration in Moldova

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.

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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

Legal address

A company cannot be registered without an address. The address affects registration data, correspondence, banking, tax records and future changes.

04

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 changes

What 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
Risk control

Where mistakes most often appear when opening a company

1Name

The name may not pass the check or may be formulated incorrectly for future documents and banking.

2CAEM

A CAEM list that is too narrow or incorrect can block a new activity, IT Park, licenses, permits or accounting setup.

3Address

An improperly prepared legal address may create issues at registration, bank compliance or future address change.

4Taxes

If VAT, employees, import, banking and accounting are not analyzed in advance, the company may be registered but not ready to work.

Due diligence

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.

01Restrictions

We check whether there are risks that may prevent registration, administrator appointment or later bank compliance.

02Budget debts

We assess possible budget debts and related risks in advance, so they are not discovered after filing or during bank onboarding.

03Document data

We check founder, administrator, address, name, CAEM and beneficial owner data before the application is prepared.

04Future changes

A mistake at the start may require company changes later. This is a separate procedure with additional steps.
