No matter the fact that the investors in a Romanian company are residents or foreigners (or ventures), in both cases they are treated the same and benefit from the same opportunities of developing economic activities in Romanian. All entities operate as independents and are separate by their shareholders/partners' legal units, having their own patrimony, possessions, appelation, administration, registered capital, headquarters and bank accounts. In Romania, there are two types of companies: joint stock companies (S.A. - societate pe actiuni) and limited liability companies (SRL - societate cu raspundere limitata). In the case of a SRL, the foreign company can have sole ownership and hold all shares, while in the case of a SA, there must be at least two shareholders (private persons or legal entities). Still, the most commonly used legal form is SRL. All businesses must be registered at ONRC (the National Trade Register Office - Romanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry) and the corporation starts to exists since the date of registration. ONRC is a public institution that keeps statistical information of economic activities. The process of company incorporation in Romania states that every business must have at least a shareholder for a SRL and two for a SA. Additionally, one person can't be unique associate in more than one company. Shareholders can be either companies or individuals and can all be non-Romanians.
