Changing the Main Activity of a Romanian Company

Under the applicable law, the object of activity can be changed for any company registered in Romania. A company may have only one main activity, corresponding to one CAEN code (the Romanian classification of economic activities, aligned with the EU NACE classification), and any number of secondary activities. The classification currently in force is CAEN Rev. 3: companies must update their object of activity in the Trade Register to the CAEN Rev. 3 codes within the deadline set by the authorities. The first step in changing the object of activity is to file an application for registration with the competent Trade Register office.
