The task first, then the country
We help choose the jurisdiction and the corporate form, register the company and support it after launch: documents, structure changes, renewals. We start from the task - the bank, counterparties, taxes, regulatory requirements - and only then propose a country.

A jurisdiction for the company’s business model
The same company can suit one business model and create material limits for another. Before registration we establish:
How the choice works- 01Where the clients and suppliers are
- 02Where the company is managed from
- 03Where the owner lives and whether a move is planned
- 04Which banks and currencies are needed
- 05Whether a VAT number and substance are required
- 06Whether the company will hold assets and how profit will be distributed

Tips
What to know before you register
Six things that save months and money. Most people only learn them after the company is registered.
- 01The bank first, then the country
A bank looks at the company’s country, its owners and what you do. Find out in advance which bank will open an account for such a company, or it may be left without one.
- 02Budget for the year, not the registration
Registration is a one-off fee. The agent, address, accounting, filings and renewal are paid every year and often cost more than the launch.
- 03Zero tax does not work everywhere
If the company is run from the country where you live, that country’s tax office may treat the company’s profit as its own. The rate in the country of registration then matters little.
- 04The VAT number is a separate step
EU counterparties often ask for a VAT number before signing a contract. In many countries it is issued after a separate review rather than with the registration, and this can take weeks.
- 05Prepare documents in parallel
A passport, proof of address, translations and apostilles take time. Collect them while you choose the country so the registration does not stall.
- 06Check what outsiders will see
In the UK, details of directors and owners are open to everyone, while the BVI register is closed. If privacy matters to you, compare this before choosing a country.

Questions
Company registration questions
It depends on the task: settlements with European counterparties call for one country, holding assets for another. We compare two or three options on your situation and show the upkeep budget for each.
It depends on the jurisdiction, the form and the scope of work. We prepare the estimate after the consultation and fix it in the contract: before the start you see both the launch cost and the annual upkeep.
From around one and a half thousand dollars in jurisdictions without presence requirements to several tens of thousands where an office and staff are needed. We show the annual budget before registration.
In many jurisdictions, yes: documents are signed remotely or through video verification. Some require a notary or a personal visit. We name the exact procedure once the jurisdiction is chosen.
Not necessarily. Many countries look at where the company is actually managed: if decisions are made from your country, it may be treated as tax resident there. That is why we start with the owner’s residence.
Yes, as a separate service: we prepare the bank file and support the opening. The decision always rests with the bank, so we do not guarantee an account, but we prepare the file so the bank is left with no questions.
The timeline is document preparation plus the country registry’s processing. A guide for each country is in the catalogue; we name the exact timeline in the estimate.
Each jurisdiction has its own calendar: renewals, reporting, register updates. We hand over that calendar with the documents and, if needed, take on the support ourselves.
