The Limited Liability Company, known in Bulgaria as an OOD, is formed by shareholders whose personal liability is limited to their capital contribution. The company name must include the abbreviation “OOD.” The entity is governed by a General Meeting of Shareholders and managed by an appointed Director.

OOD vs EOOD: what is the difference?

The EOOD (Single-Member Limited Liability Company) is a variant of the OOD where one person or legal entity owns 100% of the authorised capital and holds full decision-making authority over all company matters. Foreign investors typically find the EOOD the most practical vehicle for direct investment in Bulgaria, due to its simplicity, speed of incorporation, and full foreign ownership allowance.
