The current economic climate is highly favorable for the growth of the transport sector. Globalization, the emergence of new economies, and more recently the global pandemic, have increased the need for transport services across the whole economy. Companies such as restaurants, online stores, import-export businesses and large retailers rely on efficient goods transport and demand for this is now higher than ever. Because of this, opening a goods transport business in Romania can be a very profitable venture, as tax and insurance costs are comparatively low.

The individual employment contract is regulated by Law no. 53/2003 of the Labor Code.

An important aspect to be mentioned is that the minimum age to be able to work and have an individual employment contract is 16 years, as provided in the Labor Code. An individual employment contract can also be concluded for people who are 15 years old, but only with the consent of their parents and only if the work performed does not endanger their health and professional development.
