Why Would Non-EU Residents Wish to Open a Company in Estonia?
What is the purpose of establishing companies? Money making, asset protection, plans and goals implementation. A company in one’s home country can serve a range of tasks, but cannot cover all the needs of a business. Especially if the business enters international markets.
Registering a company in another country is a smart move to cover new areas, protect your assets, and diversify your risks. In some cases it leads to direct savings on taxes, logistics and infrastructure.
By registering a company in Estonia, foreign business persons get the following:
- Duty-free access to the entire European market;

- Adequate attitude of government to business;
- Well-developed digital state services and document turnover;
- Licenses for issuance of electronic money, including crypto currencies.

The most popular form of company is OÜ (shareholding partnership). Shareholders can be natural persons or legal entities. A natural person can be a member of the board at the same time.
For running a company successfully you will need to register it with the Commercial Register, to get a legal address and to keep the books and records. It is also important that each Estonian company has a resident representative.
