Company registration in Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan (Kyrgyz Republic, Kirghizia) is one of the most open for foreign investment countries in the CIS, and for several years in a row Kyrgyzstan has demonstrated stable economic growth. Registration of a foreign company in Kyrgyzstan in 2023 allows it to enter the EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) market and join the WTO (World Trade Organisation).

Why Kyrgyzstan?

Intelligent Solution Group specialists have been helping to open companies in Kyrgyzstan since 2011 so that businesses can take full advantage of the jurisdiction:

• corporate tax - 10%;
• access to the EAEU markets;
• no residency requirements for beneficiaries;
• possibility to open a corporate and private account in a local bank;
• actively developing industries: light, food, mining, energy.

The state creates conditions for attracting entrepreneurs from all over the world: there are agreements with 27 countries on the absence of double taxation, reduced tax rates for enterprises, bureaucratic procedures are constantly simplified.

The Kyrgyz Republic has free economic zones (FEZs), which provide additional tax and other benefits for organisations operating in them. There are five such FEZs: Naryn, Bishkek, Karakol, Maimak, and Leilek. 

For example, Bishkek has a high-tech park that brings together IT companies and offers reduced tax rates and tax holidays.

Laws allow you to buy and register a ready-made company in Kyrgyzstan remotely. You can put all the hassle of registering a company in this country on the shoulders of Intelligent Solution Group employees. And this is another significant advantage - you get a turnkey business start-up.
