How many businesses were newly registered in 2024? - QKB data/ Over 153 thousand online applications
Nearly 17,500 businesses were newly registered in the country during 2024. Data from the National Business Center shows that during the past year, high activity was recorded in the processes of new applications and registrations.
According to available data, 175,388 online applications were registered, reflecting a high interest and commitment from entrepreneurs regarding business matters. The applications include a wide range of services such as applications for initial registrations, changes, suspensions, activations, deregistrations.
The National Business Center operates three registries, each with specific criteria and procedures. The Commercial Registry has registered 153,841 applications, including 17,500 registered entities.
The Registry of Permits/Licenses and Authorizations has registered 12,726 applications from entities seeking approval for specific activities, of which 2,122 were finalized with the issuance of active licenses and permits.
CBK data shows a continuing trend of digitalization and facilitation of procedures for businesses in Albania.
As part of the digitalization reform, businesses perform all necessary services they receive from the National Business Center, online through the e-albania portal, reducing time, procedures, and waiting lines for citizens.
Also, through legal changes undertaken last year, a number of application fees previously paid by businesses have been eliminated, such as the fee for making an application for name reservation, and the method of issuing a certificate for this purpose has been regulated. The fee for transferring a name to third parties has also been removed, as well as the fee for making an application for correction of errors.
The registration certificate is sent to the subject electronically, at the same time the notification of the reason for the rejection of the application is sent to the subject electronically. It is sanctioned that the initial registration certificate is issued only once at the moment of approval of the application, and is sent to the subject electronically.
Statements are issued only in electronic format and free of charge through the electronic counter.
