Bulgarian Legal and Business Translation for Companies on the Black Sea Corridor

Registering a company in Georgia or Bulgaria

A Bulgarian ЕООД, ООД or АД founding a Georgian subsidiary, branch or representative office submits a Georgian translation of its удостоверение за актуално състояние from the Търговски регистър at the Registry Agency, its учредителен акт or дружествен договор and устав, the решение of the управител or общо събрание approving the Georgian entity, and a пълномощно if a local representative files; Registry Agency documents are apostilled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and notarial пълномощни by the Ministry of Justice, and all are notarized in Tbilisi. In the other direction, Georgians register Bulgarian ЕООД companies for EU market access, transport licensing and residence, submitting to the Registry Agency translated Georgian passports or company extracts, charters and пълномощни with Bulgarian certification, and we prepare these files to the Registry Agency's format. We draft charters bilingually so the founder signs a text they can read, and after registration we translate the Georgian Public Registry extract or the Bulgarian актуално състояние for the other side's banks and authorities.

Transport, ferries, customs and trade documents

The Black Sea corridor is the heart of this pair's business work. Georgian and Bulgarian carriers, freight forwarders, ferry operators and customs brokers need contracts of carriage, CMR consignment notes, TIR carnets, ferry bookings and manifests, transit declarations, certificates of origin, EUR.1 certificates under the EU-Georgia agreement, conformity certificates, phytosanitary and veterinary certificates, invoices and packing lists translated between Bulgarian, Georgian and English, often within hours because a truck is waiting at Poti or Varna. We run a dedicated logistics desk for this work with bulk rates for regular clients, translators who know the Revenue Service customs vocabulary and the Bulgarian Агенция Митници terminology, and same-day turnaround as the default. Transport licensing documents - лицензи на Общността, удостоверения за професионална компетентност, vehicle registration and insurance - are translated for licensing authorities and inspectors on both sides.

Договори between Bulgarian and Georgian parties

Both countries' law permits contracts in any language, but the local version is what a registry or court reads, so cross-border contracts are drafted bilingually in parallel columns. We translate договори за покупко-продажба for property and equipment, договори за наем, трудови договори for Bulgarian staff seconded to Georgia and Georgian workers recruited to Bulgaria, договори за превоз and спедиция, договори за доставка and дистрибуция for pharmaceutical, wine and food products, договори за изработка for engineering and construction, дружествени договори, договори за заем and поръчителство, споразумения за конфиденциалност and франчайз договори. The translator is a legal specialist who keeps defined terms and numbering consistent and flags where a Bulgarian concept under the Закон за задълженията и договорите - запазване на собствеността, неустойка, certain forms of гаранция, the role of the управител - needs a lawyer's decision on the Georgian equivalent rather than a translator's guess.

Court judgments, arbitration and enforcement

Bulgarian judgments in family, commercial and succession matters are recognized and enforced in Georgia through proceedings requiring notarized Georgian translations of the решение, the удостоверение за влизане в сила and supporting documents, all apostilled by the Ministry of Justice. Georgian judgments and notarized loan deeds go the other way for изпълнение in Bulgaria, translated with Bulgarian certification and apostilled. Arbitration under the Arbitration Court at the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the ICC or the Georgian International Arbitration Centre produces bilingual submissions, witness statements, expert reports and awards which we translate under procedural deadlines. Transport disputes - cargo damage, delay, CMR liability - are a specialty of our logistics and legal teams together. Наследствени files - Bulgarian удостоверения за наследници and завещания concerning Georgian property, and Georgian inheritance certificates for Bulgarian нотариуси - are handled by the same team. Litigation files are handled under NDA with restricted access.

Годишни финансови отчети, одит and tax documents

Georgian subsidiaries of Bulgarian groups, and Bulgarian ЕООД companies owned by Georgians, report across the border under Bulgarian national accounting standards and IFRS, and both present accounts to banks and tax authorities. We translate годишни финансови отчети, баланси and отчети за приходите и разходите, одиторски доклади, удостоверения за местно лице for treaty relief under the Bulgaria-Georgia double taxation agreement, ДДС documents and VIES declarations, transfer pricing files and bank confirmation letters, with accountants on the team reconciling every figure. Georgian owners of Bulgarian companies frequently need the NAP's tax certificates and the Registry Agency's filed accounts translated for Georgian banks and the Revenue Service.

Tenders, licenses, confidentiality and how projects run

Bulgarian companies bid on Georgian state tenders in transport, energy, pharmaceuticals and construction through the State Procurement Agency's Georgian-language system, and Georgian companies bid in Bulgaria under EU procurement rules; we translate company documents, reference lists, technical proposals and bank guarantees within days of the notice. Licenses and permits for transport, pharmaceutical distribution, energy and construction are translated for regulators and investors.

Every translator, editor and courier is bound by a non-disclosure agreement, files are encrypted and access is limited to the assigned team; we sign client-specific NDAs and GDPR-compliant data processing agreements for Bulgarian clients. Corporate clients receive a glossary and translation memory from the first project. Projects run in a fixed pattern: fixed quote within the hour, a legal or financial specialist plus a reviewer, questions returned in a single batch, delivery in the original format, and notarization and apostille scheduled in parallel with translation. Framework agreements with monthly invoicing and priority notary slots are available for carriers and freight forwarders, pharmaceutical distributors, law firms and accounting practices serving Bulgarian clients.
