WHY START A COMANY IN ESTONIA?

There are several compelling reasons to start a company in Estonia. First and foremost, the structure of Estonia's corporate tax (CIT) allows businesses to freely reinvest profits into growth without paying tax until dividends are distributed. This makes an Estonian company particularly attractive for entrepreneurs working with international clients or foreign partners. Estonia’s advanced infrastructure ensures that 99% of administrative services are available online, making it easy to manage your company remotely. Thanks to Estonia’s investor-friendly policies and widespread digitalization, setting up a company in Estonia is quick and hassle-free. The average time to receive approval to operate a company in Estonia is just 13 hours.

One of the key advantages of a company in Estonia is the ability to manage it entirely remotely, thanks to a comprehensive and highly secure digital system. Most official documents can be signed using Estonia's qualified e-signature, known as e-Residency. Estonia consistently ranks as the leader in the OECD’s tax competitiveness index, which evaluates the structure of tax systems and the time businesses need to adapt to new tax regulations. In Estonia, this process takes just 5 hours annually, compared to 87 hours in the US and a staggering 102 hours in Mexico. Tax filing for an Estonian company takes only 50 hours, while in Poland it requires 334 hours.

COMPAN IN ESTONIA - WHO IS IT FOR?

Establishing a company in Estonia is particularly beneficial for the technology sector. Thanks to rapid legislative processes and a transparent legal environment, Estonia is an attractive destination for businesses such as cryptocurrency exchanges and token issuance companies. Moreover, starting a business in Estonia is not only easier but also more cost-effective for traditional industries like finance and logistics. If you’re in a rapidly evolving sector or looking to streamline operations in established industries, Estonia offers the ideal foundation for growth.

Clients frequently ask us at what revenue level it makes sense to establish a company in Estonia. However, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. We can provide an estimate of the average maintenance costs. For a limited liability company (OÜ), the annual expenses are around €2,000, and importantly, these costs do not increase proportionally with revenue. The decision to start a business in Estonia should always be considered on a case-by-case basis. Thompson & Stein Law Firm supports clients across various industries, including:

Companies in New Technologies (internet marketing, cryptocurrencies, programming)
Transport and Logistics Enterprises
Startups
International Trade Entities
Intermediaries, including transactional brokers
Importers and Exporters

We offer assistance in establishing a new company, and we also have ready-made companies available in Estonia. However, purchasing a ready-made company in Estonia is not a popular option, as the registration time for a new company is comparable to that of buying an existing one. Our offerings include both companies with a history and ready-made Estonian companies that have never commenced business operations.
