Why Bulgaria?
A Bulgarian EOOD (Еднолично Дружество с Ограничена Отговорност) gives you access to one of the most competitive corporate tax environments in the European Union. With a flat 10% corporate tax rate, low operational costs, and full EU membership, Bulgaria is an excellent choice for businesses seeking a cost-effective European presence.
Note for U.S. citizens: The U.S. taxes citizens on worldwide income regardless of residence. Bulgaria's low corporate tax benefits non-U.S. persons directly. Americans can still benefit from EU market access, the treaty network, and business credibility.
