How much does it cost to register a company in Macedonia? Plan for the items below. The biggest number — the EUR 5,000 capital for a DOO/DOOEL — is not a fee at all; it is your own money that stays in the business.
What makes up the cost
| Component | Notes |
|---|---|
| Central Registry / One-Stop-Shop fee | Low, fixed administrative cost |
| Notary fees | Depend on capital and number of documents |
| Company seal | One-off |
| Bank account opening | Varies by bank |
| Translation & apostille (foreign docs) | Only for foreign founders/documents |
| Professional / agent fees | Optional but recommended |
| Share capital (DOO/DOOEL) | EUR 5,000 — your funds, payable within 1 year |
Capital is not a fee
For a DOO or DOOEL the minimum share capital is EUR 5,000 (in denar equivalent). You do not have to deposit the full amount before the company exists: it can be paid in cash or contributed in kind and may be paid within one year of registration. A simplified LLC (PDOO) requires only EUR 1, and a sole proprietor (TP) requires no minimum capital at all — so your entity choice strongly affects the up-front cost.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to register a company in North Macedonia?
The total is made up of several components — Central Registry/One-Stop-Shop fee, notary fees, the company seal, bank account opening, and (for foreigners) translation and apostille — rather than a single fee. Separately, a DOO/DOOEL commits EUR 5,000 share capital, which is your own money funding the business and can be paid within one year.
Is the EUR 5,000 a fee?
No. The EUR 5,000 minimum share capital for a DOO/DOOEL is your own funds that capitalize the business, not a fee. It can be paid in cash or in kind within one year of registration.
