Overview
About this service
A limited liability company (LLC, Armenian ՍՊԸ) is the most common form of commercial organisation in Armenia. It can be founded by one or more persons, with no more than 49 participants. Registration is carried out by the Agency of the State Register of Legal Entities of the Ministry of Justice.
According to official sources, state registration of an LLC is free of charge. When the standard (template) charter is used, registration can be completed immediately; otherwise within up to two business days. A name containing the words “Hay”, “Armenia”, “Armenian” or their translations is subject to a separate annual state duty.
We prepare everything that comes before filing: checking name availability, collecting founder and director details, preparing the founders' decision or minutes and the charter, arranging document translations and coordinating the filing. The registration decision rests solely with the competent authority.

FAQ
Questions about this service
How much is the state fee for an LLC?
According to the official portal, state registration of an LLC is free. Notarised translations and powers of attorney are paid separately, as is the annual AMD 600,000 duty if the name contains “Hay”, “Armenia” or “Armenian”.
How long does registration take?
Immediately with the standard charter; otherwise up to two business days after a complete application is filed. Preparing documents and translations takes additional time.
How many founders can an LLC have?
From one to 49 participants. Our questionnaire accepts up to 10 founders; for more complex structures, contact us directly.
Can a foreign national found an LLC in Armenia?
Yes. You will need a passport with a notarised Armenian translation. Online registration through e-register is aimed at Armenian citizens, so foreign nationals usually file in person or through a representative.
Do I need a legal address?
The company's location in Armenia is stated at registration. If you have no suitable premises, we refer you to partners; terms are set by the partner. Our specialist will confirm the address requirements.
What is the beneficial ownership declaration?
It is information on the individuals who ultimately own or control the company. All legal entities confirm or update it every year by 20 February. Our specialist will confirm the deadline for the initial declaration after registration.
Do you guarantee registration?
No. The decision rests with the Agency of the State Register of Legal Entities. We prepare documents carefully to reduce the risk of refusal or corrections.
Consultation
