Frequently asked questions
When the documentation is complete, APR usually issues the registration decision within a few business days. The bank account and CROSO enrollment are handled immediately after you receive the decision with the PIB, so the company can be ready to operate within the first week.
It depends on your activity, expected turnover, and the risk you carry. An entrepreneur is simpler and cheaper to run but is liable with their entire personal assets, while with a d.o.o. the owner generally is not liable with personal assets for the company's obligations, and the minimum share capital is just 100 dinars. During the consultation we recommend the form that suits you best.
As a rule, not at the start. VAT registration becomes mandatory once taxable turnover in the preceding 12 months exceeds the prescribed threshold, which for 2026 is 8 million dinars. Note that a flat-rate entrepreneur also has a separate annual turnover limit for keeping the flat-rate regime. You can also register voluntarily if it benefits your business, and we handle that part for you.
Yes. A foreign individual or legal entity can establish an entrepreneur business or a d.o.o. in Serbia, with a few extra steps around the foreigner identification number and the certification or apostille of documents. We run the entire procedure and advise you on the specifics for foreign founders.
