Individual enterprise in Moldova
We support the opening of an individual enterprise: we explain whether this form fits your activity, prepare documents, check CAEM and review tax and personal risks before filing.
Form overview
ÎI / Întreprinzător Individual is an individual enterprise. The entrepreneur carries out activity in their own name and at their own risk, without creating a separate legal entity.
This form can be suitable for a simple activity with one owner and clear operations. It is not universal: an individual enterprise has no separate legal personality, and the entrepreneur's assets are not separated from business obligations in the same way as in an SRL.
When it fits
During the consultation, we do not simply prepare an application. We first check whether an SRL would be safer, whether VAT may become relevant, whether a separate legal address is needed, which CAEM codes to indicate and what happens after registration.
You work alone, without a complex structure of partners and shares.
The activity is clear, without high contractual or property risk.
Rapid scaling, investors or sale of a share are not planned.
You need a simple start format, but with correct registration and accounting logic.
Main risk of an individual enterprise
Unlike an SRL, an individual enterprise does not create a separate legal entity. Before opening it, it is important to understand what obligations may arise from contracts, debts, taxes, employees, claims from buyers or service recipients and suppliers.

An individual enterprise without separate legal personality. The entrepreneur works personally and bears increased property risks.
A separate legal entity. Usually better suited for partners, employees, B2B, investors and growth.

The list may be adjusted depending on the situation, citizenship, address, activity and selected filing procedure.
Next step
