Step-by-Step Guide to Remote Company Formation in Kosovo
Launch Your Business in the Heart of the Balkans—Without Leaving Your Office
Are you considering expanding your business into Southeast Europe? With a strategic location, favorable tax system, and digital-friendly infrastructure, Kosovo offers one of the fastest and most efficient environments to establish a company remotely.
At Arka Consulting, we’ve helped hundreds of entrepreneurs and investors register their companies in Kosovo—without ever setting foot in the country.
In this guide, we walk you through every step of the remote business incorporation process in Kosovo, including documents, timelines, and practical tips.
Why Register a Company in Kosovo?
Kosovo offers unique advantages for international investors:
0% tax on dividends and 10% corporate income tax
Company registration in 1–2 business days
No minimum capital required for LLCs
Full ownership rights for foreign nationals
Competitive labor costs and access to EU/CEFTA markets
🧭 Step-by-Step Guide to Remote Company Formation in Kosovo
Step 1: Choose the Company Type
The most common structure for remote investors is the LLC (Sh.p.k.), offering:
Limited liability
Full foreign ownership
Simple management structure
Other options include JSC (joint stock), partnerships, or sole proprietorships—but LLC is the most flexible and cost-effective.
Step 2: Appoint a Local Legal Representative
To form a company remotely, you need to authorize a local agent or law firm, like Arka Consulting, to act on your behalf. This involves signing a Power of Attorney (PoA).
📌 We provide a ready-made PoA template and guide you through signing it at your nearest notary or embassy.
Step 3: Prepare the Required Documents
For foreign individuals or companies, the following documents are needed:
For Individual Founders:
Scanned copy of passport (certified)
Signed Power of Attorney (PoA)
Founder’s decision to establish a company
For Legal Entities:
Excerpt from commercial registry in home country (translated & apostilled)
Company statute or formation act
Board/shareholder decision to open a branch or subsidiary in Kosovo
Legalized Power of Attorney
Step 4: Company Registration
Once we receive your documents, Arka Consulting submits your application to the Kosovo Business Registration Agency (KBRA).
📅 Timeline: 1–2 business days
Upon approval, you receive:
Business Registration Certificate
Fiscal Number (Tax ID)
Confirmation of business name and status
Step 5: Open a Bank Account (Optional On-Site Visit)
While the company can be registered remotely, opening a business bank account may require your physical presence depending on the bank’s internal policy.
📌 Alternative: Some banks allow PoA-based remote openings. We help identify the most suitable option.
Step 6: Register for VAT and Other Licenses (If Required)
If your annual turnover exceeds €30,000 or you offer digital services, VAT registration is required.
For regulated activities (e.g. construction, health, finance), you may need additional licenses.
Arka handles all registration and licensing processes on your behalf.
