Licensing in Romania

Wondering if you need a license to operate in Romania?

If you are uncertain about whether you need a license for your business activities in Romania, you are not alone. Many of our clients initially lack complete understanding of the licensing requirements, which necessitates thorough research before initiating operations. In Romania, a business license is required before you can legally operate if your business activity is among the regulated categories defined by the Romanian legislation. These categories cover a broad spectrum of industries and professions, including:

⇒ Financial services:
This includes sectors such as banking, insurance, fund management, and other financial operations that require careful regulatory oversight.
Healthcare services: If you intend to provide private healthcare services, obtaining a license is mandatory.
Specific professional services: Certain professions, such as legal or architectural services, require specific licensing to practice in Romania.

Even if your business activity is not listed among these categories, it is prudent to consult with a professional to ascertain your licensing requirements. Our services can assist you in understanding the legal framework for business operations and ensuring compliance in Romania.
