It very much depends on what you mean by saying  "good work in Bulgaria". Basically the country is filled with thousands of used cars, selling used cars is a relatively good business, though very competitive niche. Renting cars might be a good business in Varna, but only for the tourist season. I do not know what is your ideq with the buying part.

Can I make a private company in my name and whether I can that I do personally in the registry, or do I need help, such as an office or a lawyer ?

Basically you can try do set up a company yourself. Actually, better hire a lawyer or an accountant if you don't speak the language, cos you will pay more for interpreter than for a lawyer.

How much is the cost of the company's registration and expected duration ?

Depends on the services included. But basically between 200 and 500 EUR.

Do I get a residence permit when registering the company and how much time do we need to wait for a residence permit?

Setting up a company in Bulgaria is not automatic ground for receiving residence permit. Waiting time is different and depends on several factors.

What kind of visa that I am asking for from the Bulgarian embassy in my country? Is it a tourist or business and how to obtain a visa for a long time

It depends on your goals. But if you're planning to do business here, better try to obtain a business visa.  EU Long permit visa is a bit difficult to obtain but worth the efforts.
