[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=““]I. Redomiciliation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Redomiciliation is now possible under the procedure of Art. 265t et seq. of the Commerce Act.<\/p>\n

The process is also applicable for a company established under the law of another Member State (converting company), which moves its registered office to the Republic of Bulgaria and changes its legal form into a capital company (converted company), with the respective consequences of the conversion.<\/p>\n

A redomiciliation cannot be carried out when:<\/p>\n

    \n

  2. the law of the Member State applicable to any of the companies involved in the redomiciliation does not allow such a conversion;<\/li>\n
  3. any of the companies involved in the redomiciliation is an open-ended investment company;<\/li>\n

    II. Expedited liquidation proceedings<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Traders who meet six conditions can conduct expedited liquidation proceedings, without the multiple applications to various authorities, in a shorter time for the creditors to be satisfied.<\/p>\n

    According to Art. 274a. expedited liquidation proceedings of a company are conducted when the company is terminated by a decision of the general meeting and\/or consent of the shareholders. For this, a decision to conduct expedited proceedings is also required, which is taken by the general meeting, when the company:<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      The entry of certain data on the foreign entity may also be carried out ex officio on the basis of a notification from the register of another Member State in which the foreign person is entered, obtained through the system for interconnection of registers of the Member States.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n
