Both local and foreign individuals and legal entities can register a company in Belarus. Foreign investors are allowed 100 % ownership in most business forms such as limited liability companies (LLCs) or joint‑stock companies (JSCs). There are no general requirements for a local partner, although industries like banking or insurance may have special rules.
The company registration process generally involves: choosing a unique company name, preparing incorporation documents (e.g., charter), submitting these to the registration authority, and paying the state fee. If documents are complete and submitted correctly, the process typically takes approximately 2 weeks.

For a Limited Liability Company (LLC) — the most common type — there is no strict minimum share capital requirement, and founders can specify the capital in the charter. For other forms like Closed Joint‑Stock Companies (CJSC) or Open Joint‑Stock Companies (OJSC), minimum capital thresholds do apply.
To register a company in Belarus, founders usually must submit:
- A completed registration application.
- The company charter/articles of association.
- Passport copies (or certified translations) of founders if they are foreigners.
- A confirmed registered office address in Belarus
GFSC will assist and provide support to the above-mentioned process on your behalf to ensure it is completed in accordance with the applicable requirements.
After registration, the company is automatically registered with tax authorities, social security (FSSP), and statistical bodies. Key tax points include a standard corporate income tax rate of 18 % and VAT at 20 % where applicable. Companies must also open a corporate bank account to operate and comply with accounting and filing obligations.
