What Company Launch can include

The final scope follows the founder profile, proposed activity and operating plan.

  • Founder, ownership and business-activity review
  • Entity, governance and document plan
  • Foreign-document certification and translation coordination
  • Charter, legal-address and state-registration coordination
  • Initial tax and compliance roadmap
  • Banking-readiness document preparation
  • Handover into accounting, payroll or immigration work where needed
Registration and immigration remain separate legal questions.

Owning or directing a company does not by itself guarantee permission to reside or undertake paid work. Caspentra assesses the connected route separately.

Four workstreams

Every launch dependency in the right order.

Your proposal distinguishes Caspentra’s work, the documents you must provide and decisions controlled by government authorities, banks or other professionals.

01

Structure

Ownership, activity, governance, representative and founder considerations.

02

Documents

Identity and corporate records, certification, apostille or legalisation, and translation.

03

Registration

Charter, legal address, founder decisions and state submission coordination.

04

Operation

Tax administration, bank preparation, records, staffing and recurring obligations.

Can a foreigner own an Azerbaijani company?

The State Tax Service publishes a registration route for commercial legal entities with foreign investment. Founder documents, the proposed activity and any sector-specific rules must still be checked.

How quickly can registration be completed?

The State Tax Service publishes a two-day registration period for commercial legal entities with foreign investment where a complete acceptable application is filed. Preparation, translation, deficiency correction, banking and post-registration work require separate time.

Can the work be completed without travelling?

Some steps may be coordinated through representatives, but availability depends on the founder, documents, signatures, immigration plan, bank requirements and current procedures. This must be confirmed case by case.

Is a bank account included?

Banking preparation and coordination may be included. Account opening and customer acceptance are decisions of the bank and are not guaranteed.

How is the fee set?

After a short review, the proposal separates professional fees from government charges and likely translation, notarisation, courier, banking or specialist costs.
