Individual Entrepreneur (IE) Registration in Georgia

An individual entrepreneur (IE) is a private person registered to carry on business in Georgia. We help prepare and file the registration documents, provide a permanent legal address, set up your account on the Revenue Service portal and, if your activity qualifies, apply for small-business status.

In Georgia, an individual entrepreneur is not a separate legal entity. The person registers as an entrepreneur with the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR) and remains personally responsible for the business. The registration needs a legal address in Georgia — under the Law on Entrepreneurs, the legal address must be the entrepreneur's actual address in Georgia.

Registration and taxation are two separate steps. After registration, an IE is taxed under the general rules until it is granted a special status such as small-business status. That status is granted by the Revenue Service on application, and only for activities that are not excluded by Government Resolution No. 415.

Registering as an IE does not by itself give you the right to stay, live or work in Georgia. Since 1 March 2026, foreign nationals without a permanent residence permit who work or run a business in Georgia generally need a separate right to work under the Law on Labour Migration.

An individual entrepreneurship in Georgia is the simplest way to earn income from clients legally. Registration takes one day, the tax with small-business status is just 1% of turnover up to 500,000 GEL a year, and reporting is one short return a month. That is why freelancers, IT specialists, designers, marketers and entrepreneurs from all over the world choose an IE.

Prices start at 200 GEL: the Minimum package is 200 GEL, Standard 250 GEL and Turnkey Business 550 GEL. The state fee is paid separately and determines the speed: 60 GEL — standard registration, the IE is registered the next day; 110 GEL — express, the IE is registered on the day you apply. If you cannot come, we open the IE remotely — or an IE together with a bank account, turnkey, for $550.

Small-business status is granted by the Revenue Service on application. With it, the tax is 1% of turnover up to 500,000 GEL a year; above the limit — 3%. The return is filed monthly by the 15th, even if there was no income. If turnover exceeds 100,000 GEL over 12 months and there are taxable supplies in Georgia, VAT registration is required. You can hand the accounting over to us.

An IE by itself does not give the right to live in Georgia. But once turnover reaches 50,000 GEL over 12 months, you can apply for a residence permit via the IE. Since 1 March 2026 this also requires a work permit — we arrange it separately.
