Who can be the founder of a legal entity?
Both foreign and domestic individuals and legal entities are eligible to establish an LLC in Belarus, with straightforward requirements for each category. Individual founders must be at least 18 years old and possess full legal capacity, regardless of their citizenship. The process requires only a notarized passport copy for personal registration, and founders can simultaneously hold the position of company director without citizenship restrictions.
For legal entity founders, Belarus welcomes both foreign and domestic companies that maintain good standing in their home jurisdiction. These organizations must demonstrate their active status through a recent commercial register extract issued within the past year. Companies undergoing liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings are not eligible to establish an LLC.
Documentation requirements vary by founder type, with individuals needing notarized passport translations, while legal entities must provide commercial registry extracts and corporate authorization documents. A power of attorney is required for representatives handling the registration process. The authentication method for documents depends on the country of origin, and may involve apostille certification or consular legalization to ensure legal validity in Belarus.
