Starting a business involves more than receiving a registration number. Plan the activity, the people responsible and the operating setup together. This is a short overview; our guide for foreign founders covers the decisions in more detail.
Before registration
Explain what you will sell, where your customers are and whether you plan to hire. Choose the structure with those plans in mind. Agree the business address, ownership and administrator before the application is prepared.
Pivot helps turn that information into the registration file. We also check whether the proposed activity needs licensing work.
Register and prepare to operate
Pivot prepares the documents and follows the application. Once registration is complete, the work continues with tax authority and business accounts, address and employee declarations, invoicing software and the electronic signature process.
Agree who will issue invoices and send the accounting records. Clarify how payments will be prepared and who will approve them.
Arrange the bank stage
The bank has its own application and review. Pivot prepares the business documents, communicates with the bank and follows up on the next steps.
For the process we arrange, the administrator attends in person in Albania. Shareholders do not need to attend merely because they own shares. The bank decides whether to accept the application.
If you are abroad
Registration can be arranged through a power of attorney, with the appropriate translation and document authentication. That does not make the bank stage fully remote. Read the guide to registration from abroad before planning signatures or travel.
