Deposit paid-up capital in a bank

Agency: Commercial Bank

The capital-accruing bank account must be opened either by the company manager or by a person authorized by a notary-certified power of attorney. Those persons delegated authority over the bank account must provide a signature specimen in person or a notary-certified specimen. The amount of capital stays blocked in the bank account until the registry issues a decision on the company registration. The Commercial Act requires the minimum capital prescribed by law, i.e. BGN 2, to be paid-in prior to incorporation. After opening the escrow account and depositing the funds therein the company under incorporation is issued a certificate evidencing the shareholders' deposit of the capital. The certificate must be presented at the registry.
