Estonia has a free economy and the country maintains a modern market economy. The country’s capital city, Tallinn is an important economic and business center. Foreign investors who want to open a company in Estonia have various options when choosing a type of legal entity.
Types of companies in Estonia
There are five main types of companies in Estonia: general partnerships, limited partnerships, sole proprietorships, private limited liability companies, public limited liability companies. According to the type of company, investors need to submit a minimum share capital (2,500 euros for a private limited liability company). Other types of legal entities, such as the general partnership, do not require a minimum capital.
Entrepreneurs who want to open a new company in Estonia are required by law to register their company at the Estonian Commercial Register and draw up the Articles of Association.
