Can foreigners start and fully own a business in Georgia?
Yes. Foreign individuals and companies can fully own and operate a business in Georgia without requiring a local partner. Georgia has a highly investor-friendly legal framework and a simplified business environment.
This makes the country attractive for international entrepreneurs, startups and investors looking to establish operations in the region.
Is it possible to register and manage a company in Georgia remotely?
Yes. In many cases, a company can be incorporated remotely through a Power of Attorney. This allows a legal representative in Georgia to handle the registration and administrative procedures on behalf of the client.
This remote setup is one of the reasons why Georgia is popular among international entrepreneurs and digital businesses.

These factors make Georgia an attractive jurisdiction for startups and international investors.
What taxes do companies pay in Georgia?
Georgia uses an Estonian-style corporate tax system. Corporate profit tax (15%) is applied only when profits are distributed to shareholders.
If profits are reinvested in the business, they are generally not taxed at the corporate level. This system encourages business growth and reinvestment.

Yes. Foreign citizens can generally purchase residential and commercial real estate in Georgia. Property ownership is legally protected and registered through the National Agency of Public Registry.
There are limited restrictions regarding the purchase of agricultural land.
