Do You Need a Local Director to Open a Company in Georgia?
One of the most common questions entrepreneurs ask before opening a company abroad is simple: do I need a local director or partner?
In many countries, the answer is yes — and that often creates extra costs, risks, and loss of control. In 2026, Georgia remains one of the few jurisdictions where foreign entrepreneurs can fully own and control their company without appointing a local director.
No local director required
Georgia allows 100% foreign ownership. You do not need a Georgian partner, nominee director, or local shareholder to register and operate a company.
This gives founders full control over banking, contracts, profits, and decision-making.
Why this matters for entrepreneurs
Having a local director in other jurisdictions often means:
- loss of full control
- additional monthly costs
- legal risks if relationships change
Georgia removes this problem entirely.
