Hi, Erico! First you have to register a company. This process in Tbilisi is inexpensive and uncomplicated. It is better to hire an assistant, a lawyer.
He is well versed in these matters and will be very useful to you. He will not pull extra money from you and will answer all additional questions about registration, licenses, property and others.
His mail kordzaialuka@gmail.com . I think it will not be superfluous to give advice on renting and many other nuances.

In Georgia, at the start, you need to know that you can open a business on local terms. That is, there is no difference whether you are a resident or not. The procedure for registering a business for foreigners in Georgia has been simplified by the Government. Thus, the risk of making transactions and other procedures was eliminated. A non-resident needs to register for himself
Legal address, although you can use a residence permit. This is also legal. Director is any person regardless of citizenship, registration. You can open a business in Georgia within 1-2 days; collect a package of documents and go to the House of Justice.
Documents:
- Copy of passport
- Fill out an electronic application on the spot
- Documents on payment of the fee to the state
- Legal address certified by a notary
- You don't know Georgian, so you must have an interpreter with you
That is, the set of documents is minimal. The state duty is only 100 GEL. To speed up the process a little, you will have to pay 200 GEL, but registration is on your hands on the same day.
The next step is accounting in the tax service. Here, too, registration will take little time. It is not necessary to be a legal entity, you can get the status of an individual entrepreneur or microbusiness.
Microbusiness is something like self-employment, turnover is not more than 30,000 lari. The type of activity is certain, but some of them do not require licenses.

To open a business in Georgia, being a foreigner, you need to open an individual enterprise, and such should assume a temporary residence status.
That is, for an individual entrepreneur, it is necessary to register in Georgia.
What is good in Georgia? There are not high tax rates and only some types of sales are subject to licensing.
About taxes:
- Sole proprietors pay one percent of revenue or 20% of net profit.
- A legal entity pays 18% VAT and 15% income tax.
- Microbusiness has no taxes at all.

It is easy for foreigners to open a business in Georgia, it will take a couple of days, and then you can immediately start working. Georgia has such a law on entrepreneurs, thanks to which it is convenient for both citizens of the country and foreigners to conduct business.
The initial capital does not matter and some entrepreneurs do not report this information to the state. A small amount of taxes and quick registration attracts non-residents.
