Company Registration in Romania
ADISAF is a Trade Register consultancy company based in Bucharest, Romania. We handle company formation and every subsequent filing with the National Trade Register Office (ONRC) — for Romanian businesses and for foreign founders setting up here.
If you are not based in Romania, the practical questions are usually the same: what legal form to choose, how much share capital is required, whether you need to travel, what a registered office actually means, and how long it takes. This section answers those, in English.
What we handle
Company formation
Setting up an SRL — the Romanian private limited company — including PFA, SA, NGO and the other legal forms.
Company changes
CAEN activity codes, registered office, directors, share transfers, capital increase, VAT registration, beneficial owner declaration.
Registered office & documents
A registered address in Bucharest for your company, plus certificates and official extracts from the Trade Register.
Trademark registration
Filing your trademark with OSIM, the Romanian State Office for Inventions and Trademarks.
Suspension & deregistration
Temporary suspension of activity, resuming before term, dissolution and removal from the Trade Register.
Ongoing filings
Whatever the Trade Register requires as your company changes — we prepare the file and follow it through.
What a foreign founder should know first
- The SRL is the usual vehicle — it can be owned entirely by non-residents, whether individuals or foreign companies
- A Romanian registered office is required — an address, with documents proving your right to use it
- Activity codes matter — CAEN codes define what the company may legally do; getting them wrong means another filing later
- The beneficial owner must be declared — a separate statement, required by anti-money-laundering rules
- Most of it can be done remotely — with electronic signatures or a power of attorney
- Registration is decided by ONRC — we prepare and follow the file; the decision and the timing are the authority’s

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to travel to Romania?
Generally no. The process can usually be completed remotely, with documents signed electronically or through a power of attorney. The exact requirements depend on your nationality and on whether the shareholder is an individual or a company — we confirm the specifics for your case before you commit to anything.
How long does registration take?
Once a complete file is submitted, the Trade Register normally resolves it within a few working days. Preparing the documentation takes about a working day if we have all the information. The final timing belongs to ONRC, not to us.
Can a foreign company be the shareholder?
Yes. A Romanian SRL can be wholly owned by a foreign company. You will need the parent company’s registration documents and proof of who is entitled to represent it, usually translated and legalised.
Do you also handle accounting?
Our focus is the Trade Register side. A Romanian company has monthly filing obligations from the moment it is registered, so we will point you towards an accountant if you do not have one — but the bookkeeping itself is a separate service.
