LLC Registration in Azerbaijan: A Step-by-Step Guide
One of the most common ways to start a business in the Republic of Azerbaijan is by establishing a Limited Liability Company (LLC). Below, we outline all the steps of LLC registration in a simple and clear manner.
Step 1 – Choosing the Legal Structure and Getting Consultation
First, you need to select the legal form that best suits your business. Choosing an LLC offers the following advantages:
- Founders' personal assets are not liable for the company's debts
- Management rules are more flexible
- Tax obligations are simpler compared to other forms
Tip: An initial consultation with an experienced lawyer can help you carry out the LLC registration process more quickly and accurately.
Step 2 – Preparing the Required Documents
Main Documents:
- Founding document (charter)
- Copy of the founder’s ID
- Document confirming the legal address (rental agreement or ownership document)
- Application (to be submitted to the Ministry of Taxes)
Note: A simplified procedure may be available for single-member LLCs.
Step 3 – Electronic Signature and ASAN Login
Since the registration process is carried out electronically:
- The founder must have an electronic signature (E-signature)
- Registration on the ASAN login system is required
This step is necessary to submit the online application.
Step 4 – Submitting the Electronic Application
Through the Ministry of Taxes' Electronic Registration System:
- Upload the necessary documents
- Enter company information
- Confirm the application with an electronic signature
After submission, registration is typically completed within 1–3 business days.
Step 5 – Receiving the Registration Documents

These documents allow you to begin operating as a legal entity.
