Setting up a Serbian business — the hard way vs the WarmShell way

DOING IT ALONE

  • Registering a DOO without speaking Serbian — months of back-and-forth with APR (the business registry)
  • Finding a Serbian accountant who understands foreign founders and speaks English or Russian is a quest
  • The residence permit process is opaque — MUP forms in Serbian, undocumented requirements, no clear timeline
  • Serbian banks want local contacts, translated documents, and personal visits with a translator

WITH WARMSHELL

  • DOO registration in 5–7 business days — we handle APR filings, founding documents, PIB, and tax registration end-to-end
  • Russian and English-speaking accountants with direct experience serving international founders in Belgrade
  • Full residence permit support — legal consultation, document checklist, lawyer coordination, and application tracking
  • In-person bank account opening escort on the Advanced tier, with pre-qualification and translation

0% of our clients receive their residence permit within the first 6 months

Founders who built their Serbian business with us

I moved from Moscow to Belgrade in 2024. WarmShell handled DOO registration, monthly bookkeeping, and my residence permit — I didn't have to speak a word of Serbian. Everything was in Russian through a single dashboard.
