Corporate law
Company formation should be structured for how the business will actually operate.
For a new company or a foreign group entering Romania, incorporation documents are only the beginning. Signing authority, shareholder control, funding and first commercial documents should be considered before launch.
What is decided at the start
The company form (usually an SRL), the shareholders and their contributions, the directors and their signing authority, the registered office, the business scope and the documents required for the Romanian Trade Register. Funding at the start is also settled here. These choices determine how the company will actually operate in its first months.
The registration steps
In practice the process covers reserving the company name, preparing the articles of association and shareholder documents, assembling the file and submitting it to the Trade Register. With a complete, coherent file the registration stage usually takes a few business days; delays almost always come from incomplete documents, not from the Register itself.
Where risk usually appears
The most frequent problems come from unclear mandates, undocumented founder relations, insufficient signing authority or documents that do not match the real operating model. These gaps become costly exactly when an investor, a bank or an important client asks for documents in order.
For foreign groups
When a foreign company sets up an entity in Romania, what matters is who controls the company, who signs and how it reports to the group. We prepare the local structure, corporate documents and intra-group contracts in coordination with legal and tax teams in other jurisdictions, so the Romanian part fits the wider project.
How Teodoru Law helps
We prepare the legal structure, corporate documents and implementation steps so the company can start operating without avoidable friction. The work is coordinated with the founders commercial requirements and with early decisions on contracts, intellectual property and personal data.
FAQ
Is Trade Register incorporation enough?
No. Incorporation is necessary, but the company also needs clear rules for management, signing authority, shareholder relations and first commercial documents.
Can company formation be prepared remotely?
In many cases, yes. Documents can be prepared in advance and signing can be organised depending on legal requirements and shareholder location, including shareholders located abroad.
Which legal form should I choose, an SRL or another type?
For most businesses an SRL offers flexibility and limited liability. The choice depends on the shareholders, funding plans and operating model, and should be analysed before incorporation.
How much share capital does an SRL need?
The minimum share capital is low, but the right amount depends on the activity, the credibility expected by partners and the real funding needs at the start.
