Registering a company in Georgia's Free Industrial Zone (FIZ) in 2026 remains one of the most advantageous ways to conduct international business. This format is particularly popular among IT companies, exporters, logistics, and manufacturing enterprises seeking to reduce their tax burden and optimize operating costs.
What is a FIZ
Free Industrial Zones (FIZs) are designated areas with special tax and legal regimes. Companies registered in FIZs can enjoy benefits, including exemptions from corporate income tax, VAT, dividend tax, and property tax. Furthermore, interactions with Georgian counterparties outside the zone can be taxed at a reduced rate, typically around 4%.
Advantages of Registration
The main advantage is minimizing tax liabilities. Entrepreneurs also gain access to modern infrastructure, warehouses, logistics centers, and Georgia's advantageous geographic location between Europe and Asia. The registration process is simple: with all necessary documents, registering a company in a FIZ takes only 1-3 business days.
Furthermore, business can be conducted remotely—the physical presence of the owner or employees in Georgia is not required if the company provides services, for example, in the IT sector.
Registration Steps
- Choosing a suitable FIZ—in Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Poti, or Hualing.
- Preparing the constituent documents and charter.
- Submitting an application for company registration.
- Obtaining FIZ enterprise status and concluding an agreement with the zone administration.
- Opening a corporate bank account.
The processing time for the full package of documents usually ranges from one to three weeks.
New Requirements for 2026
By April 1, 2026, all previously registered companies must bring their constituent documents into compliance with the new law on entrepreneurship. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the blocking of activities and the inability to obtain certificates from the registry.
