Why US founders choose a Romanian SRL
EU single-market access
A Romanian SRL is a full member of the EU single market — sell across the EU, trade without internal customs barriers and operate from inside the bloc rather than outside it.
EU VAT & marketplace trust
An EU VAT number and an EU-resident entity make it easier to invoice EU clients and meet the requirements of EU marketplaces and platforms that expect a European seller.
Competitive taxation (2026)
Micro-company 1% on turnover where eligible (cap €100,000, at least one employee), otherwise 16% profit tax and 16% on dividends. Speak to your US advisor about US reporting; we handle the Romanian side.
English-speaking remote service
We run the whole process in English from start to finish, coordinating with partner lawyers and accountants in Romania — across time zones, no Romanian language skills needed.
EU presence & substance
A registered office, local entity and EU VAT registration give your business a real EU footprint — helpful when EU banks, processors and partners want a base inside the EU.
Built for non-residents
100% foreign ownership, no Romanian residency required, and a NIF tax ID instead of a local personal number — designed for founders based abroad.
How it works from the US
1. Power of attorney
A PoA lets us file everything from the US without you travelling. Signed and notarised locally, then legalised for Romania.
2. NIF tax ID
Non-residents get a Romanian tax identification number (NIF) — we obtain it for you, no Romanian CNP needed.
3. Apostille & translation
The US is a Hague Apostille country, so your documents are apostilled at home; foreign documents then need sworn translation — we coordinate it, at cost.
4. Registered office
Your SRL needs a Romanian registered address — included for the first year.
5. ONRC → CUI
We file at the Trade Register and follow it through to your registration certificate and unique tax ID (CUI).
6. VAT & bank account
VAT registration plus guidance to open a business bank account that accepts non-resident-owned companies.

From the US — FAQ
Why open an EU company if I am based in the US?
A Romanian SRL gives you an EU-resident legal entity — useful for selling to EU clients, joining EU marketplaces, holding an EU VAT number and accessing EU banking and payment processors that prefer an EU base. The US sits outside the EU, so an EU company can remove friction your US entity may face.
Do I need to travel to Romania to open the company?
No. From the US we incorporate remotely using a power of attorney. The US is a Hague Apostille country, so documents can be apostilled at home and then sworn-translated for Romania — we coordinate it (please confirm current requirements with us).
What taxes will my Romanian company pay?
For 2026: micro-company regime 1% on turnover (cap €100,000, at least one employee), or standard 16% profit tax; 16% on dividends; VAT at 21% standard / 11% reduced, with a registration threshold of RON 395,000. We do not advise on US reporting — speak to your US advisor about US filing obligations.
Can a US resident own 100% of the company?
Yes. Foreign individuals and companies — including US residents and citizens — can own and direct 100% of a Romanian SRL. No Romanian residency is required; we obtain a NIF tax ID for you instead of a local personal number.
