Opening a book publishing business in Georgia
Opening a publishing company starts with choosing the right type of company to incorporate. A publishing company can take a legal form without requiring a license. The registration process is straightforward and businesses can commence their activities in a short amount of time.
Our company registration agents in Georgia can give you detailed information about the types of companies - public limited liability company, joint stock company, etc. Georgia does not impose a VAT on books and the other taxes payable by a publishing company will be the income tax, the profit tax and others.
The publisher needs to employ a minimum number of individuals who will help him run the business. Our company registration experts in Georgia can help you conclude employment contracts. Publishers will also require the services of an authorized translator in order to be able to translate new books into Georgian. In Georgia, most of the translated titles come from Russian, English and German.
Georgia also has a Publishers and Booksellers Association (GBPA) which has an important role in the development of the business.
