The number of company participants must not exceed 49.
What is the specific time limit for establishing a limited liability company?

At least how many persons can found a limited liability company?
A limited liability company can be founded by one or more founders.
How can I check the availability of a name?
It is possible to check the availability of a name through the search system on the website of the State Register of Legal Entities.
If the name is available, it can be reserved for a period of up to 6 months. During this time, you can prepare the registration documents and use the reserved name when registering the business.
In which cases can the registration of a name be rejected?
Registration of a preferred name may be rejected if it:
Is similar to the name of another legal entity or contains profanity and offensive words;
Includes the names of state government bodies of the Republic of Armenia;
Contains the full or abbreviated name of a historical or famous person of the Republic of Armenia and was submitted without permission to use that name.
How can the name of a famous person be used in a trade name?
When using a famous person's name in a company's trade name, it is necessary to submit that person's written consent during business registration.
If the person is deceased, consent must be provided by all heirs who have received the inheritance.
If the person is deceased and has no heirs, their full or abbreviated name may be used in the trade name based on a permit issued by the Agency of the State Register, provided that the person's fame was acquired in a field that coincides with the main field of activity of the given legal entity.
How can the names of Armenian settlements be used in a trade name?
The names of settlements (administrative-territorial units) of the Republic of Armenia are used based on permission granted by the regional governor (marzpet) or the head of the community, respectively.
How can the words "Hay" (Armenian), "Armenia," and "Armenian" be used in a trade name?
The words "Hay," "Armenia," "Armenian," and their translations may be included in a company's trade name only based on an application for trade name registration. This must be accompanied by a receipt of payment for the state fee—set at 600,000 AMD annually—or its 20-digit code and the corresponding certificate. The application for name registration and the first payment of the state fee are made at the time of business registration.
After registration, to continue using these names in each subsequent year, the state fee must be paid in advance. The payment receipt or its 20-digit code must be submitted to the Agency of the State Register of Legal Entities of the RA before the end of the current year.
The start of the year for the granted permission is considered to be the date of the trade name registration or its amendment.
The use of these words without paying the state fee is possible if they are part of the founder's name.
What is the timeframe for LLC registration?
If you choose to use the system-generated template charter, the company registration is completed immediately. Otherwise, it is completed within 2 business days.
