Estonia Company Formation with e-Residency
Form an Estonian private limited company (OÜ) without travelling: we handle the Business Register filing, the mandatory legal address and contact person, and tax registration — with 0% tax on retained profit.
Our Estonia company formation service gives you a private limited company (OÜ) inside the European Union that you run entirely online with Estonian e-Residency. It suits digital service providers, freelancers and startups that work with European clients.
Why form a company in Estonia?
- An EU company that European clients and suppliers trust.
- 0% tax on retained profit: corporate income tax is only due when profit is distributed, at 22% calculated on the net distribution.
- Fully digital management: sign documents and file returns online from anywhere.
- Symbolic share capital: the minimum is €0.01 per shareholder.
How Estonia company formation works
- e-Residency: apply online (state fee €150) and collect the card in person at an Estonian embassy, usually within 6–8 weeks. The alternative is formation by a notarised power of attorney.
- Legal address and contact person: mandatory for any company managed from outside Estonia — included in our service.
- Business Register filing: we prepare the application, you sign digitally, and approval usually takes one business day.
- Tax registration and banking: we register the company with the Tax Board and help you open a Wise or European business account.
Yearly obligations
The company files an annual report within 6 months of its financial year-end, keeps accounting records, and registers for VAT once taxable supplies pass €40,000. See the official e-Residency site and the Estonian Tax and Customs Board.
Is Estonia right for you?
Estonia is a great fit for digital services and European clients. If your main goal is Stripe and you live in a country Stripe does not support (such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt or Jordan), a US company may suit you better. We help you choose in a free consultation.
