Short answer
In most cases, no. To sell on IVO, you need a registered legal form such as S.R.L., I.I., S.A. or another accepted entity. We need this to issue documents, process payments, transfer funds, handle warranties, apply taxes correctly and meet legal obligations.
Why a registered business is required
- Customers need invoices, warranty documents and clear seller information.
- Payments and payouts must be linked to a verified fiscal code and bank account.
- Some products require licenses, permits or age restrictions.
- Tax reporting is usually tied to a registered business activity.
What you can do before registration
You can prepare your catalog, product photos, descriptions, prices and delivery rules. You can also contact IVO to understand onboarding requirements, but public selling and payouts normally require completed business verification.
Costs and taxes to plan for
Before choosing a legal form, plan for registration fees, accounting, electronic signature, bank fees, VAT if applicable, income tax, social and medical contributions, payroll taxes if you hire staff, and licenses for regulated goods. Common Moldovan reference rates include 12% income tax and 20% standard VAT, but the exact obligations depend on your legal form and activity.
Which form should I choose?
Small sellers often compare I.I. and S.R.L. An I.I. may be simpler, while an S.R.L. can offer a more scalable company structure and clearer separation between personal and business obligations. S.A. is usually for larger or more formal shareholder structures.

Please do not rely only on this article when deciding. Verify the information with an accountant, lawyer or official authority so you choose the correct structure and understand all taxes before selling.
