Frequently Asked Questions
We offer seven integrated disciplines: tax consulting, legal advisory, accounting, HR services, funding, M&A advisory, and due diligence — all delivered by one coordinated team.
Yes. Our integrated model means your tax and legal advisors work in close coordination, avoiding conflicting advice and ensuring every structure is sound from both perspectives simultaneously.
We have deep sector experience in energy & infrastructure, real estate & construction, manufacturing, retail & FMCG, financial services, and technology. Our team's engagement track record spans over 200 advised deals.
Scope varies by service: a due diligence typically takes 3–6 weeks, entity registration 1–4 weeks, and ongoing advisory retainers run month-to-month. We structure timelines to match your business milestones.
Uzbekistan operates 20+ special and free economic zones (SEZs/FEZs) offering significant incentives: full exemption from corporate profit tax and property tax for up to 10 years, VAT exemption on imported equipment, simplified customs procedures, and streamlined permitting. Notable zones include the Navoi FEZ, Urgut SEZ, and the Tashkent IT Park for technology companies. Advizen Consulting advises on zone eligibility, registration, and structuring to maximise the available benefits.
An Employer of Record is a local legal entity that employs staff on behalf of a foreign company — handling payroll, social contributions, employment contracts, and full compliance with Uzbek labour law. This allows international companies to hire in Uzbekistan immediately, without first incorporating a local entity. Advizen Consulting provides EOR services that enable compliant hiring within days rather than months.
Foreign companies operating in Uzbekistan must manage: corporate profit tax filings (quarterly advance payments plus annual return), VAT registration and monthly reporting once turnover exceeds the threshold, transfer pricing documentation for related-party transactions, currency control regulations, annual financial statements under national accounting standards (NSBU), and statistical reporting. Non-compliance carries administrative penalties and, in serious cases, criminal liability. Advizen Consulting provides ongoing compliance management so nothing falls through the cracks.
Our due diligence engagements cover four workstreams: legal (corporate structure, title, key contracts, litigation), tax (historical liabilities, transfer pricing exposure, structuring risks), financial (statements, working capital, debt), and regulatory (licences, permits, sector-specific compliance). For real estate and infrastructure deals we also assess land rights and construction permitting. Reports are delivered in English and Russian.
Yes. Uzbekistan has established one of the region's most progressive digital asset frameworks, regulated by the National Agency for Perspective Projects (NAPP). Crypto exchanges, custody providers, and digital asset brokers must obtain a NAPP licence. Advizen Consulting advises on licence applications, corporate structuring for Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) status, AML/KYC programme development, and ongoing regulatory compliance for fintech and crypto businesses operating in Uzbekistan.
