Registering a company is the first formal step of a business, and the one where mistakes cost the most to undo later. The law office of Goran Iliev in Skopje handles the full procedure: choosing the right legal form, drafting the founding documents, and filing with the Central Registry of the Republic of North Macedonia.

What the service covers

  • Consultation and choice of legal form — DOO, DOOEL or sole trader
  • Drafting the founding statement or company agreement
  • Determining activity, registered seat, share capital and manager
  • Preparing and filing the application with the Central Registry
  • Post-registration support — contracts, internal acts, ongoing operations

Why register with a lawyer

  • The legal form and founding act directly determine your liability
  • Incomplete documents mean a rejected filing and a repeated procedure
  • Relations between partners are settled at the start, not during a dispute
  • Much of the procedure can be completed under power of attorney

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a DOO and a DOOEL?

A DOOEL is a limited liability company with a single founder; a DOO has two or more. Liability is limited in both, but the founding documents, governing bodies and decision-making differ. The right choice depends on whether you are starting alone or with partners.

Do I need to be present in person?

A significant part of the procedure can be carried out through an authorised representative. You will be told at the outset exactly which steps require your personal presence or a certified signature.

How long does registration take?

The procedure before the Central Registry is relatively short once the documentation is complete and in order. Most of the time is usually spent preparing the documents rather than on the registration itself.

Can a foreign national register a company here?

Yes. The required documentation differs somewhat for foreign founders, and translation or certification of documents may be needed.
