Company and LLC registration in Azerbaijan

LLC REGISTRATION IN AZERBAIJAN - Attorney.az | Hüquqi xidmət

  • Preparing the incorporation decision, charter, and authority documents
  • Checking document requirements for local and foreign founders

  • Reviewing registry documents and post-registration corporate steps

Information and documents for the initial review

  • Identity or registry documents of the founders
  • Proposed name, legal address, and business activities
  • Share allocation, director, and signing-authority decisions
  • Translation, apostille, or legalisation details for foreign documents

  1. Initial structure and risk discussion
  2. Document drafting and approval
