Country overview
About Armenia
Armenia is a landlocked republic in the South Caucasus. Yerevan is the capital and the largest city. About 3 million people live here. It borders Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iran and Turkey. Armenian is the official language. The currency is the dram (AMD).
Armenia is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union and is not a member of the European Union. Yerevan is a compact services and technology city with a civil-law company regime and relatively straightforward incorporation. English is used in business in the capital. The country is used as an operating base for founders who want a Caucasus company without a local director.
Brikseka forms Armenian companies. The usual vehicle is a limited liability company (LLC). Incorporation is remote. No visit is required, and no local director is required. Statutory registry costs are relatively low, and a complete file is typically registered in a few days to two weeks.
We then advise on a business bank account and on invoicing accounts such as Wise and Payoneer. Stripe is not available as a merchant account on an Armenian company. Approvals are decided by the providers. If your aim is to live in Armenia, company formation is not a residence permit — that is a separate immigration file, which we also advise on.

How we work
From briefing to a registered company
Briefing
We review your business, the right entity for this country, costs, and whether a visit is likely.
Company formation
Local counsel, notary where required, and the commercial register. We coordinate the documents through to a registered company.
Banking and payments
After the company exists, we prepare applications for a business account and payment gateways.
After incorporation
Statutory records, a named contact, and introductions to accounting so the company can operate.
Also available
Business immigration
Forming a company in Armenia does not grant the right to live there. If you intend to relocate, we also advise on Armenia business immigration — including Entrepreneurial temporary residence. Requirements, capital, and processing times are confirmed before any engagement.
