About IE + SBS

What is Individual Entrepreneur + Small Business Status?

An Individual Entrepreneur (IE) is Georgia's version of a sole proprietorship – a business registration that lets you operate legally without forming a company.

Combined with Small Business Status (SBS), you qualify for Georgia's famous 1% flat tax on turnover up to 500,000 GEL (~$185,000 USD). No corporate tax. No complicated deductions. Just 1%.

It's the most popular choice for freelancers, consultants, remote workers, and digital nomads who want to minimize taxes legally while enjoying Georgia's low cost of living and 365-day visa-free stays for most nationalities.

What happens if you exceed 500,000 GEL annual revenue
