How to Prepare Your Business for the Introduction of the Euro in the Company Registry
13 January 2026Corporate Client Insights, News
As Bulgaria adopts the euro on 1 January 2026, businesses must take important steps to update their records in the Company Registry and the Register of Non-Profit Legal Entities. Proper preparation will help your company remain fully compliant and avoid potential administrative delays.
Automatic Revaluation of Company Capital
In January 2026, the Registry Agency will automatically revalue the registered capital of:
- Limited liability companies
- Joint-stock companies
- Partnerships limited by shares
The nominal value of shares in joint-stock companies and partnerships limited by shares will also be automatically updated. This revaluation ensures that shareholders and partners retain their rights and proportional ownership in the company, in accordance with the Law on the Introduction of the Euro in Bulgaria.
Updating Company Documents
By the end of 2026, all companies must update their founding documents, partnership agreements, or statutes to reflect the revalued capital. Internal company policies and records should also be amended to ensure compliance with the new legal requirements.
Filing Requirements
Limited Liability Companies: Must submit a certified copy of the updated partnership agreement to the Company Registry. This document should show the revalued capital and the adjusted shareholdings of all partners.
Joint-Stock Companies and Partnerships Limited by Shares: Must submit a certified copy of the updated statute, reflecting the revalued capital and the new nominal value of shares.
No state fee is required for these filings.
Why Compliance Matters
The revaluation process is designed to be smooth and fair, protecting the rights of shareholders and partners while aligning company records with the new currency. Early action will reduce administrative burdens and ensure that your business is fully compliant with Bulgarian law.
