A North Macedonian company for your business

North Macedonia offers a South East European business base for local operations and regional expansion. A DOO or single-member DOOEL is a common limited liability structure for privately owned companies.

01 / COMPANY TYPE

DOO & DOOEL

A DOO is a limited liability company, while a DOOEL has a single founder. Individual and corporate foreign ownership is generally possible, subject to activity-specific rules and due diligence.

02 / SHARE CAPITAL

Standard capital: €5,000 equivalent

A standard DOO / DOOEL has a minimum capital of €5,000 in denar equivalent. Contribution method and payment timing must follow the applicable rules. Capital is separate from incorporation and professional fees.

03 / LOCAL REQUIREMENTS

Office & Central Registry

Plan a registered office in North Macedonia and appropriate manager appointments. Registration is coordinated through the Central Registry, with additional permissions for regulated activities.

Tax & ongoing compliance

The standard corporate profit-tax rate is 10%. Small-business alternatives and incentive regimes have eligibility conditions and require separate assessment. Foreign ownership or overseas customers do not themselves create an exemption. Maintain accounting records, annual accounts and the required company and tax reporting.

Frequently asked questions

Questions before you begin

Can foreign founders own a company in North Macedonia?

Foreign individuals and corporate founders can generally own a DOO or DOOEL in full. The proposed activities, regulated-sector permissions and due diligence require separate review.

What is the difference between DOO and DOOEL?

A DOO is a limited liability company with multiple founders. A DOOEL is its single-member form. The founding documents should reflect ownership, management and the intended activities.

What capital is required?

A standard DOO / DOOEL requires capital of at least €5,000 in denar equivalent. Confirm contribution and payment requirements for the chosen formation arrangements. Capital is separate from professional fees.

Does incorporation provide EU or residence rights?

North Macedonia is not an EU member. Incorporation does not itself confer EU establishment rights or permission to live or work locally. Immigration and regulated-market access follow separate rules.

What corporate profit-tax rate applies?

The standard rate is 10%. Small-business tax alternatives and incentives depend on eligibility and the applicable rules. VAT, withholding taxes and payroll obligations must be assessed separately.

What ongoing compliance should be planned?

Maintain accounting and corporate records, prepare annual accounts and complete applicable company and tax reporting. Keep ownership and management information current. Audit, VAT, employment and licensing obligations depend on the statutory conditions and activities.
