In theory, Georgia looks attractive because of its 1% regime for small entrepreneurs. In practice, however, I generally advise clients to be extremely cautious with Georgia as a structuring hub. The issue is not the law on paper but the way things are enforced in reality. Georgia has developed a reputation for being unpredictable at the borders, for making arbitrary compliance decisions, and for offering very little protection to those who rely on it for their business base.
Even its embassies abroad are notorious for being unhelpful when support is actually needed. That kind of uncertainty defeats the purpose of having an international structure in︀ the first place.
I would strongly consider moving your setup away from Georgia and into︁ a jurisdiction that is purpose-built for international business. St. Lucia, for example, offers an︂ excellent combination of flexibility and tax neutrality. Antigua and Barbuda is another very strong︃ option.
The offshore world is not just about finding the lowest tax rate, it’s about︄ having a structure that works globally, is recognized, and will not be undermined by local︅ unpredictability. From an OVZA perspective, our clients who move away from Georgia into stable Caribbean︆ or classic offshore jurisdictions not only reduce their compliance risk but also find that banks,︇ partners, and clients take their structure far more seriously.
