Company Formation, Employment and Corporate Governance

We set up your company, obtain the permits it needs and keep it compliant with Estonian corporate, employment and tax law.

Why register a company in Estonia

State fees and the cost of starting and running a company are low. Corporate income tax is 0% on retained and reinvested profits. Estonia has little bureaucracy, a skilled workforce and some of the world’s most advanced e-government services. Company law is governed by the Commercial Code.

We also help clients build frameworks for managing the company and its operations: articles of association, management policies, and legal guidance for directors, management board members and CEOs.

We assist with

  • Preparing all founding documents and minutes, and guiding you through registration until it is complete
  • Obtaining activity licences and permits where required
  • Compliance with Estonian corporate, employment and tax law
  • Drafting employment contracts
  • Drafting leases for office, retail and other premises

Whether you are a founder setting up your first Estonian company or an established business expanding into Estonia, we guide you through each step.
