ADVIZEN

Advizen Consulting is a premier business advisory firm based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, offering integrated consulting across tax, legal, finance, accounting, and HR — a single point of contact for your entire operation in Central Asia.

Our primary focus is Uzbekistan, with deep expertise across Central Asian markets. We advise foreign investors, multinationals, and local companies entering or operating in the region.

We combine seven advisory disciplines and seven managed operations services under one roof — giving clients a fully integrated practice rather than fragmented point solutions across multiple firms.

The most common forms are the Limited Liability Company (LLC / MChJ), Joint-Stock Company (JSC / AJ), Branch Office, and Representative Office. LLCs are the preferred vehicle for most foreign investors due to their flexible governance and straightforward registration. Branches and representative offices suit companies that want a local presence without establishing a separate legal entity.

Yes. Uzbekistan permits 100% foreign ownership in the vast majority of sectors. The Law on Foreign Investment guarantees equal rights with domestic investors, protection against nationalisation, and the right to repatriate profits. Certain regulated sectors — such as banking, media, and telecommunications — may require additional licensing or impose ownership thresholds, but these are the exception rather than the rule.

The key rates for businesses operating in Uzbekistan: corporate profit tax — 15%; VAT — 12%; personal income tax — 12% (flat rate); social tax — 12% (employer contribution). Companies operating in Special Economic Zones or qualifying as small businesses may benefit from reduced rates or full tax holidays. Advizen Consulting provides tax structuring advice to identify the most efficient regime for your specific structure.

An LLC can be registered within 1–3 business days through Uzbekistan's unified e-government portal. Full operational readiness — including tax registration, corporate bank account opening, and statutory document preparation — typically takes 1–3 weeks depending on the bank and the complexity of the corporate structure. Advizen Consulting manages the entire process end-to-end.

Yes — foreign investors and multinationals account for a significant share of our client base. We regularly advise on market entry structuring, cross-border transactions, transfer pricing, and regulatory compliance for companies from Europe, the Gulf, Asia, and the CIS entering the Uzbekistan and Central Asia markets.
