Opening an LLC is one of the most popular business structures in Azerbaijan. Registration can be done through government offices or online platforms; the goal is to officially confirm the company’s legal status.

First, prepare the company name, activity type (OKVED), and charter. Founders provide ID, address proof, and capital details. Documents are submitted to the Tax Service or an ASAN service center.

After registration you receive a TIN, bank account, and seal. The BizAssist.az platform connects you with registration experts to speed up the process.

An LLC (limited liability company) is the most common legal form in Azerbaijan. Founders’ liability is limited to their capital contribution, and governance follows the charter and applicable law.

Registration can be completed through the Tax Service, ASAN centers, or online portals. Properly prepared documents minimize delays and extra costs.

01 Required documents

For LLC registration, founder(s) submit ID, legal address proof, draft charter, and capital formation details. Foreign founders may need notarized and translated documents.

Activity codes (OKVED) should match your business plan — they can be expanded later, but a good initial choice simplifies the process.

  • Founder ID document(s)
  • Legal address proof (lease agreement, etc.)
  • Charter and resolution protocol
  • Capital amount declaration

02 Timelines and fees

With complete documents, registration usually takes 3–7 business days. State fees follow fixed tariffs regardless of capital size.

Bank account opening, seal preparation, and licensing may add steps depending on your industry.

03 After registration

Once registered, you already have a TIN, but bank account setup, accounting policy, and employment contracts are the next priorities.

Through the platform, registration experts manage these stages so your business can start operating officially.

  • Opening a bank account
  • Setting up accounting and tax records
  • Preparing employment contracts
  • Checking licenses and permits
