The Georgian government approved a new Law of Georgia on Entrepreneurs which came into effect on January 1st, 2022.
Under the new law, all LLCs registered before 2022 need to update their registration documents (i.e., Articles of Association and Statute) to make the LLC compliant.
Under the new law, failure to do this before the deadline will result in:
- No future changes to director(s).
- Inability to sell shares, allocate a different shareholding, increase/decrease the number of shares.
- Inability to create the new e-portal used for communications with governmental authorities.
- No future change of name or legal address of the LLC.
- In some cases, liquidation of company and assets and deregistration of the LLC.
If you’d like your LLC to continue trading in Georgia, and avoid the above issues, the below section explains what you need to do to become compliant.
How to Update Your LLC’s Documents
The following steps are required:
- Every partner of the LLC needs to convene a general meeting of the partners.
- During the meeting, they need to approve a new Articles of Association and a new Statute.
- Then they need to sign the Minutes of the General Meeting of the Partners demonstrating such approval.
- The new Articles of Association and the new Statute need to be attached to the Minutes of the General Meeting of the Partners.
- This decision needs to be approved by visiting the PSH and submitting all the above documents.
