Opening a Company in Serbia as a Foreign Founder
Setting up a company in Serbia involves registries, banks, translators and local specialists. We coordinate the whole sequence through one local point of contact and bring in licensed lawyers where the law requires it.
The process, end to end
- 01
Brief call
We learn what you are building, who the founders and owners are, and what needs to be in place first.
- 02
Plan with licensed partners
A licensed lawyer assesses the right structure and prepares the legal documents. We coordinate that conversation and keep the timeline visible.
- 03
Documents
We build a checklist and track every document, including any foreign paperwork.
- 04
Registration
The company is registered with the Serbian authorities.
- 05
After registration
Bank account, accounting and payroll, an office and first hires: we coordinate the next steps so the company is operational, not just registered.
Who does what
Belgrade Desk is not a law firm. We coordinate the process; anything that requires a licence is done by qualified local professionals.
We coordinate
- A document checklist and live status tracking
- Introductions to licensed lawyers and accountants
- Scheduling and follow-ups with every party
- Plain-language written status updates
- The next steps after registration: bank, accounting, office
Licensed professionals handle
- Legal assessment and the choice of legal form
- Drafting of the founding documents
- Tax and accounting advice
- Anything the law reserves for a licensed lawyer or accountant
What you will typically need
The exact list depends on who the founders are and on your situation. After the first call we send you a checklist.
How long it takes
Timing depends mostly on foreign paperwork and on how quickly documents are signed. After the first call we give you a realistic timeline.
What it costs
Costs have two parts: official state fees and professional fees. We do not publish a fixed price: we agree scope and cost with you before any work starts.
Who this is for
Typical clients
- Founders opening a Serbian entity from scratch
- Remote companies that need a local entity or presence
- Investors who want local coordination without managing every detail remotely
