In Serbia, the startup community has been rapidly rising, and this growth has not been restricted only to its capital, Belgrade. The increasing number of businesses are taking off throughout the country, including Nis, Novi Sad, and Kragujevac.

So far we have assisted over 400 companies.

It goes without saying that, prior to getting your business going in Serbia, in order to avoid pitfalls any business might encounter, one must consult with professionals familiar with a relevant legal framework and necessary procedures.

At this point, Serbia is not a member state of the European Union yet, but it’s on a steady way to becoming one. Therefore, Serbia is constantly harmonizing legislation with the EU Law and European standards. The establishment, organization, and registration of companies and other forms of legal entities in Serbia are governed by the Law on Companies (“Official Gazette of the RS” no. 36/11, 99/11,83/2014 and other laws-5/2015).

First, the Company needs to acquire legal personality by registering in accordance with the Law on Procedure of Registration with the Serbian Business Registers Agency, in other words, company formation. 

There Are Four Types Of Legal Forms Of Companies In Serbia:

1. General partnership (o.d.),

Moreover, according to Law on Companies, an entrepreneur is also recognized as a legal entity and is defined as an economically active individual who performs activities in order to generate income and is registered in conformity with the law. As such, an entrepreneur is liable for the entirety of his/her assets for the obligations incurred during the performance of his/her activities.
