Hi Najnaj

We've opened two companies now in Bulgaria (one for our business and the second for our house purchase). In neither instance did we have to attend personally in front of the Trade Department, nor at the notary signature. Both of these were done by power of attorney. We also have many thousands of readers who have done the same thing.

Even for the bank account, the first time we opened one, our lawyer did it for us, we didn't even have to be present for that. The second time, we opened the bank account personally as we were in Bulgaria anyway.

It is actually best if you rely on an independent lawyer (not the one recommended by the estate agency) who will act solely in your interests.

All the best
