Our flagship structure
The 10/10/10 Method™

Bulgarian company formation
We form Bulgarian companies around how you actually operate, taking tax, banking and management into account before incorporation.
Tax strategy
We compare your current tax position with a Bulgarian structure so you can see the potential saving and what the move would require.
Bulgarian banking
We prepare the application, coordinate the paperwork and stay involved through onboarding for a local Bulgarian bank account.
Georgian banking
Add another banking jurisdiction with multi-currency options and access to selected GEL term deposits above 10%, where suitable.
Relocation & administration
For clients who actually want to move their home to Bulgaria, we handle registrations, appointments, family requirements and renewals. Relocation is optional and is not required for company formation, tax, banking or the 10/10/10 Method™.

Start with company formation so the tax, operating and banking position can be considered before incorporation.
I need better banking options
Look at Bulgarian banking for your local setup or Georgian banking if you want another banking jurisdiction.
I am moving and want someone to handle the admin
Relocation support is for clients actually moving home to Bulgaria. It can cover the practical move and ongoing administration, but it is not a prerequisite for the rest of the structure.
Who we work best with
A good structure has to work in real life.
Sovereignty Global is generally a good fit for internationally mobile founders, consultants, professionals, investors and families based in Europe who have enough flexibility to choose where they live or operate.
The financial case tends to become more compelling as income and company profit increase, but we look at the whole position before recommending a move. A lower tax rate is only useful if the structure can genuinely be maintained.
If Bulgaria does not make enough difference to justify changing your current setup, we would rather establish that before you start spending money on applications and companies.

Before you commit
Know what the move involves before you start it.
Once we understand your position, we set out the recommended scope, expected costs and likely timeline before the work begins. We also explain where travel or personal attendance may be required and which parts of the process depend on banks, authorities or other third parties.
You should know what is changing and what will still be required from you before committing to the setup.

Common questions before starting
What clients usually want to know first.
Open the questions that are relevant to your position. The detailed answer can still vary depending on the countries and structures involved.
Do I need to take every service?
No. Services can be used independently. Some clients only need residency, company formation or banking, while others need the wider structure coordinated together.
Can I open a Bulgarian company without becoming tax resident there?
Yes. Owning a Bulgarian company and becoming personally tax resident in Bulgaria are separate matters. We look at each independently.
Do I have to live in Bulgaria full-time?
Not necessarily. The answer depends on the residency and tax position you are trying to establish, your days in each country and your wider personal ties.
Can I keep my existing company?
Sometimes. It depends on where the company is registered, where it is managed and the tax rules that continue to apply to you. We review this before recommending whether it should stay, change or be replaced.
How much does it cost?
Fees depend on the services and complexity of the work involved. We confirm the scope and cost before work begins so you can decide whether the financial benefit justifies the setup.
How long does it take?
Company formation can be completed in days once the documents are ready. Residency and banking usually take longer and depend on your circumstances, documentation and third-party processing times. We give you a realistic timeline for your own case before the work begins.
Tax and residency outcomes depend on your circumstances and applicable law. Banking applications remain subject to provider approval. GEL deposits carry foreign-exchange risk.
