Practical Company Registration Mechanics in Tbilisi

Incorporating a business in Georgia is renowned for its speed and administrative simplicity. Through the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR), legal entities can be fully incorporated in standard or fast-track procedures.

The jurisdiction does not enforce exchange controls, and companies enjoy unfettered foreign currency settlement capabilities in USD, EUR, and GEL.

The Banking Landscape: TBC Bank and Bank of Georgia

The Georgian banking sector is dominated by two London Stock Exchange-listed institutional titans:

  • Bank of Georgia (BOG): Modern digital infrastructure, multi-currency IBAN accounts, and strong compliance for international service companies.
  • TBC Bank: Robust corporate treasury tools, seamless SWIFT processing, and premier fintech integrations.

Substance and KYC Expectations

To pass non-resident corporate onboarding, Georgian banks expect verifiable economic connections: local client contracts, Georgian resident staff, office leases, or evidence of regional operations.
