Filing an application, obtaining a company number (EIK), bank or payment-account opening and representation before authorities are not included. If you later want additional assistance, it is agreed and quoted separately. **What will I receive from the consultation?** Before you pay, your offer defines the questions to be addressed, the consultation format, the practical recommendations or written output, and the timeframe. If you need a review or drafting of specific documents, the offer identifies those documents and the work included. **Can we work together while I am outside Bulgaria?** Yes. The consultation can take place remotely, with communication in English. If your later plans require signed documents or an account, we explain the available route for your circumstances. Some documents may require attendance at a consulate or notary abroad; any further services are separately agreed. **I have not chosen a company type. Can I still enquire?** Yes. Describe the planned activity, who will own and manage the business, and where they are based. You do not need to choose EOOD, OOD, AD, DPK or another structure before contacting us. Assessing the suitable options can be the purpose of the consultation. **Are you a government body or connected to the Registry Agency?** No. Advokatami.bg is a private legal-services platform. Legal work is provided by our team and partner lawyers. We are not a government body or part of the Bulgarian Registry Agency, and we do not control decisions by authorities or financial-service providers. ## Start with the right questions. A few sentences about your plans are enough to begin.
