Forming an SRL in Romania: official sources and checks

Official guidance for preparing SRL formation, choosing CAEN activities and coordinating professionals.

Forming a Romanian SRL using official sources

Formation involves more than filing articles. Choose an activity, address, governance, tax framework and operational organisation suited to the actual project.

Reference source: ONRC

ONRC publishes registration procedures and an online services portal. It supports name reservations, registration, certain amendments, certificates and beneficial-owner procedures.

The classification CAEN Rev.3 defines activities. Codes must reflect actual operations; some activities require permits, qualifications or specific conditions.

Decisions before filing

  • shareholders, capital allocation and director powers;
  • registered office and business locations;
  • main and secondary CAEN activities;
  • permits before or after registration;
  • tax framework, VAT, accounting and invoicing;
  • bank account, financing and beneficial owners;
  • employees, international mobility and employment obligations;
  • commercial contracts, insurance and intellectual property.

Check regulation when the project begins

In 2026, ONRC displays information about share capital increases and the legal deadline. Circumstances and rules may vary; confirm amounts, deadlines and consequences with a Romanian lawyer or accountant before deciding.

VAT registration cannot be inferred from a general rule. It depends on activity, turnover, intra-EU transactions and timing. VIES checks a partner’s number without replacing tax analysis.
