Your company in Estonia
A European company, 100% online, in about three weeks.
We incorporate your OÜ — the Estonian limited company — and leave you operating: legal address in Estonia, VAT number, online banking and an Estonian accountant handling your books. You do not need to travel to Estonia.
IS IT FOR YOU?
It depends on where you live and what you do
Digital nomads and anyone already living outside their home country or moving between countries.
Digital businesses invoicing EU clients: software, services, training, consulting.
Agencies, consultancies, mentors and tech companies with no office or warehouse tied to one country.
If you live and work in one country and your business is there, an Estonian company on its own does not change your personal tax residence. We tell you before you pay, not after.
WHY ESTONIA
The country where a company is a form
Estonia has spent twenty years building a digital state. In practice, what is paperwork elsewhere is a form here.
0% on what you reinvest
Corporate tax is paid only when you distribute dividends. While profit stays inside the company, it is not taxed.
A simple tax system
Ranked 1st in the International Tax Competitiveness Index. Simple filings, largely automated, written in plain language.
European Union since 2004
An EU and customs union member. You invoice across Europe with no customs friction and intra-community VAT.
e-Residency
Digital residency gives you an electronic signature valid across Europe: you incorporate and manage the company remotely.
Real online banking
Business accounts with Wise, Paysera or Revolut, live in days and built for getting paid from several countries.
No local partners
Founders and directors can be 100% non-resident. The company is entirely yours, with no nominees in between.
No capital to pay in
An OÜ has a €2,500 minimum share capital, but you do not have to pay it in to incorporate.
In English
Official paperwork is in Estonian, but you deal with the administration in English without trouble.
WHAT YOU NEED
Less than you think
The requirements, one by one
- e-Residency: Estonian digital residency. Applied for online, it is what lets you run the company remotely.
- Company type: an OÜ, the Estonian private limited company. What almost every small and mid-sized business picks.
- Minimum capital: €2,500, which does not have to be paid in to incorporate.
- Legal address in Estonia and a contact person. Both included in the service.
- Commercial register: the company and its details are filed with the Estonian register.
Estonian government fees: €290, on top of our fee. No trip to Estonia needed: one visit to an Estonian embassy to sign is enough.
HOW WE DO IT
From the first call to a company that operates
About three weeks end to end. You sign; we handle the rest with a trusted accounting firm in Estonia.
First consultation
We look at your case: where you live, who you invoice, and whether Estonia actually fits. If it does not, we say so.
e-Residency
We walk you through the application and the pickup of the kit with your electronic signature.
Incorporating the OÜ
Name, business purpose, directors and filing with the Estonian commercial register.
Address and contact person
We register your legal address in Estonia and the contact person required by law.
VAT, EORI, VIES and OSS
The registrations you need to invoice inside and outside the EU and to sell online.
Accounting up and running
An Estonian firm handles monthly accounting, tax compliance and the annual report.
STRAIGHT TALK
This does not make you invisible to the taxman
An Estonian company changes where your company is, not where you are. If you live and work in one country, you remain a tax resident there, and a company managed from there can be treated as managed there for tax purposes. Social security contributions follow the activity you actually perform, not the country where the company is registered. For someone genuinely living abroad or moving between countries, Estonia is an excellent tool. For someone who never leaves, it is one more company to maintain.
We incorporate and administer the company. The tax analysis of your particular case is signed by an adviser in your country of residence — and if you do not have one, we will tell you to get one before we start.

Does Estonia actually fit you, or was it sold to you as a shortcut?
Half an hour is enough to tell: where you live, who you invoice and what happens with your taxes. If the answer is that it does not suit you, I will say so and charge you nothing.
