Global Business Group

About Global Business Group

Based in Plovdiv, this advisory group concentrates on foreign companies and individuals who want to invest in Bulgaria or move part of their production there. Its team is split into a Bulgarian and an Italian desk, and the website exists in Bulgarian, English and Italian, reflecting a steady flow of enquiries from Italian entrepreneurs. The firm helps clients incorporate a company, prepare the documentation, handle dealings with public bodies and banks, and arrange the persons authorised to act locally. After set-up it can supply temporary management, recruitment, payroll and accounting prepared under IFRS and Bulgarian standards, along with guidance on the tax position of foreigners and employers. A separate strand of the business scouts and prepares applications for European funding programmes. Client sectors named include textiles, construction, food, metalworking, agriculture, electronics and transport. Where it cannot deliver something itself, it works through a network of external experts.
