Establishing a Romanian company
For a foreign investor, establishing a company in Romania is only the beginning.
Registering a Romanian company may be relatively straightforward. The real challenge starts afterwards:
- How do you make that company operational?
- How do you find the right people?
- Where should you work?
- How do you manage local administration, taxation, recruitment, suppliers and business development?
- And who can help when you are not yet familiar with the Romanian market?
At Investment (PBS Worldwide BV) in Romania, we believe that company formation should be the starting point of a much broader partnership.
With more than 20 years of experience in Romania, we help foreign investors and companies not only establish their Romanian entity, but also create the local infrastructure and environment they need to operate and grow.
Creating a company is not the same as creating a business
Many companies that want to enter Romania initially focus on incorporation.
They hire a lawyer in Bucuresti and create a company and then have a lot of problems when they start as the focus was on company creation and the only contact that they could make was with a lawyer in Bucuresti.
They ask questions such as:
- How do I establish a Romanian company?
- What documents are required?
- How long does incorporation take?
- What are the costs?
- How do I arrange accounting and taxation?
These are important questions—but they are only part of the picture.
Once the company exists on paper, the investor faces a new set of challenges.
The company needs an operational base. It may need employees, recruitment support, accounting and tax assistance, local management, premises, suppliers, project support or help with nearshoring.
This is where our approach is different.
We don’t simply help you create a Romanian company. We help you create the conditions in which that company can actually do business.
From incorporation to operation
Our services are designed around the different stages of establishing and developing a business in Romania.
We provide company creation services, helping investors establish their Romanian business structure. But we can also support the company beyond incorporation through our business and incubation centers, recruitment services, tax services, interim management, real estate services, subsidy assistance and nearshoring setup support.
This means an investor does not necessarily have to coordinate multiple unrelated providers for every part of the Romanian setup.
Instead, you can have a local partner who understands the bigger picture.
A place to start operating
For many foreign companies, the first challenge after incorporation is establishing a local presence.
Our Business and Incubation Centers in Romania provide an environment where newly established companies can start operating while developing their Romanian activities.
This can be particularly valuable for companies that are testing the Romanian market, establishing a new subsidiary, developing a nearshoring operation or gradually building a local team.
Rather than making a major investment in infrastructure immediately, companies can develop their Romanian presence progressively.
Local people make the difference
Romania offers significant opportunities, but entering a new market always involves a learning curve.
Local recruitment, employment practices, administration and business culture are areas where local knowledge can save companies considerable time and avoid unnecessary mistakes.
Our recruitment services are therefore an important part of the support we provide to companies establishing themselves in Romania.
The objective is not simply to help a company find employees.
It is to help the investor build the local capabilities required to operate successfully.
Support when the project becomes more complex
Business projects rarely develop exactly according to the original plan.
A company may need temporary management during its launch phase. It may need assistance with a specific project, access to real estate, support with subsidies or help establishing a nearshoring operation.
Our range of services includes interim management, real estate, subsidy assistance and nearshoring setup, allowing us to support companies as their needs evolve.
This flexibility is particularly useful for international SMEs and investors who want to enter Romania without immediately building a large local organization.
20 years of experience in Romania
Entering a foreign market is ultimately about more than procedures.
It is about knowing how things work locally, understanding the business environment and having people on the ground who can help you navigate the process.
Investment in Romania was created around this experience. The website identifies its founder, Freddy Jacobs, as an expert in Romania with more than 20 years of experience.
That experience allows us to look at an investment project from a broader perspective.
Instead of asking only:
“How do we establish this company?”
we ask:
“What does this company need to become operational and successful in Romania?”
That difference matters.
Romania can be your next operational base
For companies considering expansion, nearshoring, investment or the establishment of a Romanian subsidiary, the decision should not end with incorporation.
A Romanian company is a legal structure.
A successful Romanian operation requires people, infrastructure, local knowledge, management and an environment in which the business can develop.
That is what we aim to provide.
Whether you are at the very beginning of your Romanian investment journey or already have a Romanian company and need additional local support, we can help you identify the next steps.
Don’t just create a company in Romania. Build an operation.
