FAQ
Frequently asked questions
We have put together some commonly asked questions.
What is the most common company type for foreigners in Montenegro?
The most popular choice is a DOO (Društvo sa Ograničenom Odgovornošću), Montenegro’s equivalent of a Limited Liability Company. It requires a minimum share capital of €1, offers flexibility in management, and limits liability to the value of contributed capital.
How long does it take to register a company in Montenegro?
In most cases, a DOO can be registered in 5–10 business days, provided all documents are complete and correctly prepared. This includes obtaining your tax number and registering with the Central Register of Business Entities.
Do I need to be in Montenegro to start a company?

No, you can grant us Power of Attorney (POA) to handle the entire process on your behalf. This means we can register your company, open your bank account, and arrange all necessary filings while you remain abroad.
Can owning a business help me get residency in Montenegro?
Yes. Foreigners who establish a company and meet certain operational requirements can qualify for temporary residency in Montenegro, which can later lead to permanent residency if maintained over time.
What taxes will my company pay in Montenegro?

Montenegro offers a competitive tax system, with a 9–15% corporate income tax rate depending on profit levels, plus VAT at 21% for most goods and services. We help you select the optimal tax structure for your business and ensure full compliance.
Do I need a local accountant for my company in Montenegro?
Yes, Montenegro requires all registered companies to maintain official accounting records with a licensed accountant. We include professional accounting services in our business setup packages to ensure ongoing compliance.
