Most common Romanian legal types of company

Romania has five legal types of company but the majority is using only two legal forms and these are the limited liability company (Romanian: Societate cu Raspundere Limitata or S.R.L.) and the joint stock company (Romanian: Societate pe Actiuni or S.A.).

The limited liability company (S.R.L.) may be formed with one shareholder or with two or more shareholders. The minimum share capital required is 200 RON (around 40 EURO) and the minimum share value is 10 RON. A very important thing is that the company must have an unique registered address, in this respect you will have to conclude a rental agreement that will give the right to use the space and the address. However, there is a possibility to ask us to domiciliate the company at the law firm address but only temporary for a maximum of one year, but you have to keep in mind that on that period if the company does not rent or buy a business space of its own, the company domiciliated at the law firm address cannot undertake any activity.
Another condition is to have at least a registered administrator which must be a natural person or a legal entity represented by a natural person. Any shareholder may be also the administrator of the company.
S.A. may be formed starting with at least 2 shareholders. The minimum share capital required is RON 90,000 which is around EURO 25,000 (twentyfivethousands) and the minimum share value is RON 0.1 (zeropointone). For the administration of the company you can choose between two systems (unitary or dualist) which are suitable for companies that need a much complex organization . Also, this type of company must have a registered address just like the SRL. Also it is compulsory to have at least a registered administrator legal or natural person.
Both legal types of company must have an activity object that is formed from a main activity and one or more secondary activities. The main activity is the one estimated to bring the biggest revenues to the company. All activities are codified in the National Classification of the Economic Activities (Romanian: Clasificarea Activitatilor din Economia Nationala)
