Setting up a company in Romania may seem simple at first glance, but the details matter enormously: the legal type chosen, the registered office, the object of activity (CAEN codes), the initial tax regime, the share capital. A wrong registration decision can lead to unnecessary costs or operational restrictions for years.
Strategic Cont Expert offers full support for company registration with the ONRC (National Trade Register Office) and pre-registration advice so that your company starts on the right structure from the start. With a team with over 22 years of experience (since 2004) in accounting and consulting for companies in Bucharest, we know exactly what works in practice.
