The main costs for setting up a SRL
Below are the main costs required to open a SRL:
- the share capital: for an SRL registered after 18 December 2025 the minimum is 500 lei (5,000 lei for SRLs with a net turnover above 400,000 lei); this is not a fee, as the money remains the company's. It does not have to be deposited before registration: at least 30% must be paid within 3 months of registration and before the company starts operating, and the rest within 12 months.
- notary: a specimen signature and notarised statements of the shareholders and administrators are no longer required; notary fees arise only in special cases, for example when a building is contributed to the share capital and the constitutive act must be authenticated.
- other costs: certified translations of documents issued abroad (for example, the documents of a foreign company that becomes a shareholder) and, if the file is submitted online, a qualified electronic signature.
