Georgian Business Re-Registration Deadline: Act Now to Stay Compliant

Under the revised Law of Georgia on Entrepreneurs, all Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) registered before January 1st, 2022, must have updated their registration documents by April 1st, 2026. If you missed the deadline, your company probably had to face restrictions on essential business operations. Failure to comply has led to an inability to use bank accounts. This has, in turn, caused issues with VAT registrations and tax filings.

If you don’t complete the re-registration, your LLC may be deregistered. This article will guide you through the required steps and explain how ExpatHub can help simplify the process. Contact us to get started!

Why This Matters

Under the new regulations, failing to update your LLC’s registration before the Georgian Business Re-Registration Deadline has already resulted in serious limitations, including:

No ability to change directors.
Restrictions on selling shares or adjusting the ownership structure.
Inability to update your LLC’s name or legal address.
No access to the new e-portal for business communication with government authorities.
No ability to open new and use existing bank accounts.
Inability to register as a VAT payer.

To continue operating smoothly in Georgia, your company must comply with the updated legal requirements. If you don’t re-register, the LLC will be de-registered.

How to Update Your LLC’s Registration

The re-registration process requires the following steps:

Convene a General Meeting of Partners. (All LLC partners must hold a meeting to discuss compliance.)
Approve the new (compliant) Articles of Association.
Sign the Minutes of the Meeting to confirm the decision.
Submit the documents to the Public Service Hall (PSH).

This process ensures your LLC complies with Georgian Business Re-Registration requirements and avoids legal restrictions.

FAQ

What was the Georgian business re-registration deadline?

All Georgian LLCs registered before January 1st, 2022, were required to update their registration documents to comply with the revised Law of Georgia on Entrepreneurs by April 1st, 2026. This involved convening a General Meeting of Partners, approving updated Articles of Association, and submitting the documents to the Public Service Hall.

What happens if my Georgian LLC missed the April 2026 re-registration deadline?

You are not immediately deregistered. Starting January 1st, 2027, the National Agency of Public Registry can formally identify a registration defect on your company and issue a 3-month rectification notice. If you do not comply within that window, the registry will cancel your company’s registration.

Companies that missed the deadline should complete re-registration as soon as possible to avoid accumulating operational restrictions and eventual enforcement.

What restrictions apply to a Georgian LLC that has not re-registered?

Until re-registration is completed, the company faces restrictions including: inability to change directors, inability to sell shares or adjust ownership structure, inability to update the company name or legal address, no access to the new government e-portal for business communications, inability to use bank accounts or open new ones, and inability to register as VAT payers. Continued non-compliance leads to forced liquidation.

Can I still re-register my Georgian LLC after the April 2026 deadline?

Yes. The process remains open and the steps are the same. You convene a General Meeting of Partners, approve the new Articles of Association, sign the Minutes, and submit them to the Public Service Hall.

ExpatHub can assist with the full process, including document drafting, translation, and submission. This can also be done remotely via a Power of Attorney.

How much does Georgian LLC re-registration cost with ExpatHub?

ExpatHub’s re-registration service fee is 1,500 GEL (+VAT), which includes preparation of bilingual legal documents and standard Public Service Hall fees.

If any partners require a Power of Attorney for remote processing, an additional 600 GEL per PoA applies.
