About

Nestled in the heart of the Balkan Peninsula, Albania is a small but strategically positioned country bordered by Kosovo, Greece, Montenegro, and North Macedonia. With its vibrant capital city Tirana serving as the political and economic hub, Albania is increasingly attracting the interest of international investors and companies expanding into Southeast Europe.

Although Albanian is the sole official language—spoken in two primary dialects, Tosk and Gheg—many younger professionals are fluent in English and Italian, making cross-border business communications easier.

Albania has been a candidate for European Union membership since 2014, reflecting its commitment to regulatory reforms and foreign investment. The country's competitive labour costs, developing infrastructure, and growing IT and tourism sectors make it a compelling choice for businesses seeking cost-effective expansion in the region.

For companies looking to start operations or hire employees in Albania, Mauve Group offers comprehensive support, including Employer of Record (EOR) services in Albania, payroll processing, HR compliance, and business setup assistance. Whether you're managing a remote team or establishing a local presence, Mauve ensures full compliance with local labour laws and tax regulations.
