How We Work
Our Process
Three phases. Zero fluff. A proven approach that transforms ambitious brands into market leaders.
01
Contact
Reach us by email, contact form, or schedule a free 30-minute video consultation. Brief us on what you're trying to build, the structure or jurisdiction options you're considering, and the questions you want answered. We respond within 24 hours.
02
We suggest the best fit for you
Based on your goals, your operational profile, and your tax position, we identify the Georgian structure that genuinely fits — IE for solo professionals, Standard LLC for operating businesses, Virtual Zone for IT companies, FIZ for manufacturing, or another category. We recommend one path and explain why.
03
You confirm
We send a clear engagement letter — scope, fees, timeline, and what we deliver. You take time to review, ask questions, and decide. No pressure. If our proposal isn't the right fit, you walk away with no obligation.
04
We take care of everything
We execute the agreed scope — company registration, tax registration, bank account opening, residency application, and any operational support needed. Most of it runs without you needing to come to Georgia. You stay informed; we handle the work.
