What is an SRL Company in Romania?
An SRL (Societate cu Raspundere Limitata) is the Romanian equivalent of a Limited Liability Company. It offers strong legal protection because shareholders are only liable up to the capital they contribute.
The SRL is suitable for almost any type of activity: digital services, construction, transport, manufacturing, eCommerce, consultancy, marketing, hospitality, and more. It can have one or multiple shareholders and one or multiple administrators.
Registering an SRL is quick, inexpensive, and does not require the founder to be physically present in Romania if handled through a proxy with submitted documents.
