About Oxygen Empire

Cross-border decisions need one accountable team.

Oxygen Empire is a Dubai-based advisory company supporting businesses and private clients across the UAE, the Middle East and international jurisdictions. We coordinate corporate, banking, relocation and compliance work around one objective—so the client does not have to manage unrelated providers and conflicting advice.

Every case starts with a confidential assessment. We explain what is realistic, what evidence is required and which decisions remain with the registry, bank, endorsing body or immigration authority.

Common client situations

10 Romania company setup scenarios we can assess

These examples show the kinds of requests our team can evaluate and structure. The exact route always depends on the client's facts, evidence and the independent decision of the relevant institution or authority.

01
SaaS founder

A Romania company for international software sales

Situation: The founder needs a credible operating structure for contracts, subscriptions and a distributed team.

Our approach: Check activity and ownership fit, coordinate romanian trade register filing and prepare the banking narrative in parallel.

02
Professional services

A consultancy serving clients through Romania

Situation: An adviser needs a company that can sign cross-border contracts and support predictable invoicing.

Our approach: Map licensing, management and tax-accounting requirements, then build the formation and onboarding file around real client work.

03
E-commerce operator

Romania setup for online sales and payment flows

Situation: The business needs a structure aligned with marketplaces, payment providers, suppliers and customer geography.

Our approach: Document the commercial model, assess VAT and operational needs, and align company formation with payment and banking readiness.

04
Import and export

Trading company with cross-border suppliers

Situation: The owners need a transparent structure for purchasing, logistics, customs-facing documents and international settlements.

Our approach: Review goods, countries and counterparties, confirm the suitable activity scope and prepare contracts and transaction logic for compliance.

05
Existing business group

Adding a Romania entity to an international group

Situation: An established group needs a new operating or holding layer without creating conflicts in ownership and governance.

Our approach: Map the group chart, control chain, intercompany flows and local obligations before incorporation and account opening.

06
Family office

Romania vehicle for coordinated family investments

Situation: A family needs clear ownership, decision rights and administration around selected international assets or projects.

Our approach: Separate investment, operating and personal objectives, then design governance and compliance responsibilities before filing.

07
Regulated activity

Testing whether a regulated model fits Romania

Situation: The founders need to know whether the planned activity requires authorisation, local substance or a different jurisdiction.

Our approach: Run a regulatory fit check first, identify licence and substance dependencies, and proceed only with a defensible route.

08
IP and technology

Romania structure for software and intellectual property

Situation: A technology business wants contracts, development activity and IP ownership to follow one commercially coherent model.

Our approach: Review who creates and uses the IP, define agreement flows and coordinate formation with accounting and governance.

09
Regional expansion

A Romania base for a new sales market

Situation: A company entering a new region needs a local contracting point and a practical launch sequence.

Our approach: Test market-entry objectives, local presence and hiring needs, then stage incorporation, operations and banking in the right order.

10
Founder relocation

Company setup coordinated with a move to Romania

Situation: The owner needs business formation, personal relocation and banking decisions to support each other.

Our approach: Build one roadmap covering company role, romanian tax onboarding, accounting setup, activity codes and any licence or vat assessment, personal evidence and the post-arrival operating calendar.

Questions before you start

Company Setup in Romania: FAQ

Foreign participation is possible, subject to the ownership structure, documents and compliance checks. We confirm the filing route for the specific shareholder and director profile.
Many steps can be handled through properly prepared authorisations and digital workflows, but the exact route depends on signatures, documents and banking.
We move into tax and accounting onboarding, operational registrations where needed, and the bank-account workstream.
We review the facts, contact you for a short confidential assessment and outline the suitable route, evidence gaps and next steps. No engagement begins without an agreed scope.
No. Registries, banks, endorsing bodies and immigration authorities keep independent discretion. We provide realistic estimates after reviewing the case and never promise an approval we do not control.
