Setting up a company in Serbia: d.o.o. or entrepreneur, what you'll pay, and how the setup actually runs

A free live session for founders, consultants and remote business owners weighing Serbia as a base: the structures, the tax and compliance reality, and the order things have to happen in.

This session covers business setup and company formation. We run these sessions every week, each on a different topic: residency, business setup, citizenship and property.

Next live session: Tuesday 29 September 2026

13:00 Central European Time · 12:00 UK · 7:00 AM US Eastern

45 minutes: about 25 minutes of teaching, then live Q&A. Can't make it live? Register anyway. Every registrant gets the replay within two hours, available for seven days.

General information only. Not legal, tax or immigration advice for your situation.

What you'll leave with

  • The practical difference between a d.o.o. and registering as an entrepreneur: who each suits, and where the flat-rate regime stops making sense.
  • What running a Serbian company actually involves month to month: filings, bookkeeping, payroll if you hire, and roughly what that costs. Ranges from published fees and our own client files, not a quote for your situation.
  • Banking and director residency: what banks are currently asking for and how that shapes your sequence.
  • When hiring through an Employer of Record is the faster first step, and when it isn't.
  • A decision map: solo consultant, small team, holding for foreign clients, or hiring locally, and which structure to look at first.

This session is for you if you run or are starting a business and want Serbia as a legal and tax base, or you plan to hire in Serbia.

It's probably not for you if you're looking for a "pay no tax anywhere" structure. Serbia has real advantages for founders; it does not end your home country's rules, and we'll say so.

Common questions

Is it free?

Yes. If you want your own structure scoped afterwards, the Corporate Expansion Consultation is €149 (45 minutes) and credits in full toward any service booked within 90 days.

Can I set up entirely remotely?

Some steps require presence in Serbia. We'll show exactly which, and what can be prepared before you arrive.

Will you tell me what tax I'll pay?

We'll show the regimes and what they typically mean. What you'd actually pay depends on your situation and your home country's rules. That's consultation territory, and we'll be clear about the line.

Will it be a sales pitch?

About three of the 45 minutes are about how to work with us. The rest is the process, taught properly.

I'm in North America and 7 AM is early.

Register anyway. The replay lands within two hours and stays available for seven days.

What happens after you register

You'll get a confirmation email with your personal joining link straight away, a reminder the day before and one an hour before. After the session you'll get the replay. Registering for a webinar does not book a consultation or commit you to anything.

What we do with your details.

Helion Global Group LLC, trading as Relocation Serbia (30 N Gould St Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA), and Globalna Poslovna Rešenja DOO (Laze Telečkog 6, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia) are together responsible for your information. You can contact us about either at support@relocationserbia.com. We collect your name and email address so we can register you for this session, send you the joining link and reminders, and send you the recording afterwards. Our legal basis for that is performing the service you asked for.

The session is recorded. The recording captures the host's screen and voice only — not attendee names, cameras, microphones or chat. If you type a question in the chat, the host sees your name next to it; other attendees do not.

We keep your registration details for 24 months after your last contact with us, and the recording for 12 months, then delete them. We use WebinarGeek to run the session and Encharge to send the emails; both process your data on our instructions, and this may involve storage outside Serbia. We do not sell your data or share it with anyone else.

You can ask us at any time what we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, or to object to how we use it. Email support@relocationserbia.com. You can also complain to the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection (poverenik.rs), or to your own national data protection authority if you are in the EU or the UK.

Free to attend. Forty-five minutes. Attendee cameras and microphones are disabled for the whole session. The session is recorded — the recording captures the host's screen and voice only. Register even if you can't make the live session and we'll email you the replay. How we handle your data.

How the session runs.

This is a live session with a real host, not a recorded video on a timer. Attendee cameras and microphones are disabled for the whole session, so you are not seen or heard. Other attendees cannot see your name and cannot see who else is in the room. Questions go through the chat box and are visible only to the host — other attendees do not see what you ask, though the host does see your name alongside your question. The session is recorded for people who cannot attend live. The recording captures the host's screen and voice only; it does not capture attendee names, cameras, microphones or chat. You will receive the replay by email whether or not you attend. The session runs on WebinarGeek, which processes this data on our instructions, and we keep the recording for twelve months.
