You set up a Belarusian subsidiary a few years ago, and now — for whatever reason — you want out. On paper, selling your stake looks like any other share deal: agree a price, sign the contract, update the register. In today’s Belarus, that picture is misleading, and acting on it can leave you with […]
Few procedures in Belarusian corporate practice offer the flexibility of reorganization. It can change a company’s legal form, merge related entities, hive off a business line, or absorb one company into another, with full legal succession preserved at each step. For foreign investors and Belarusian owners alike, it is often the cleanest way to move […]
In January 2026, Belarus did something most jurisdictions still haven’t done. It legally recognised “crypto banks” as a distinct category — joint-stock companies that combine traditional banking services with digital token operations under unified state supervision. Decree No. 19 of January 16, 2026, created the new legal category, set the dual oversight model — HTP […]
Almost every guide to setting up a company in Belarus tells you the same thing. Use an LLC. The advice isn’t wrong. For most foreign founders, an LLC is genuinely the right choice. But “most” leaves a meaningful minority of cases where the Private Unitary Enterprise (PUE) is structurally the better vehicle — and those […]
When foreign founders consider Belarus, most hear about the High-Tech Park first. The IT, software, and crypto path that has been the country’s flagship preferential regime since 2005. Fewer hear about the second major preferential regime — the one that sits 25 km from Minsk, between the international airport and the Berlin-Moscow highway, on roughly […]
You’re registering a Belarusian company. Someone has handed you a checklist. Commercial register extract. Charter. Director’s authority. Power of attorney. Passport. All to be “apostilled and translated.” Sounds simple. It isn’t — not because the rules are obscure, but because almost every founder we work with gets at least one document wrong on the first […]
Do you want to add more capital into your Belarusian company and you want to do it the right way? Or the opposite — there’s too much capital sitting in the charter and someone needs that pulled back out. Or your accountant just dropped a calm-sounding sentence into a Tuesday meeting: net assets at year-end […]
You want to register a Belarusian company. You don’t want to spend three days flying in and out of Minsk to do it. Good news — you don’t have to. A properly drafted power of attorney lets a Belarusian representative handle the entire process. Submission, notarisation, state filings, certificate collection. The whole thing. The catch […]
This is the conversation we have with foreign founders who have read blog posts about the Belarus High-Tech Park and arrive at the meeting with the line “so it’s basically a 0% tax regime, right?” The headline is true. The bill is not zero. The gap between the two is the entire reason this article […]
This is the conversation we have with foreign founders who, once the organisational form is settled, open the next part of the meeting with a sentence that begins something like “about that 6% tax…”. The 6% rate exists. It is real. The Tax Code defines it precisely, and the Ministry of Taxes and publishes its […]
This article is the naming conversation we have with foreign founders, CFOs, and corporate counsel after the form decision is settled — LLC, CJSC, or Unitary Enterprise — but before the founding documents go to the notary. The form is fixed; the name is now the gating item, and the document set cannot move forward […]
