Would you like to do business without needless bureaucracy or trips to government offices, and with some of the best conditions in Europe? Estonia has long been more than just a Baltic state – it is a world leader in digitalisation and a genuine haven for modern entrepreneurs, digital nomads and e-commerce projects.
Step into the world of e-Residency and run your company from anywhere in the world.
Why is Estonia the right choice for your business?
- 0% tax on retained profits: As long as you keep profits in the company and reinvest them in its growth, you pay not a single cent in income tax. Tax becomes payable only when you distribute dividends.
- 100% online administration: Forget the paperwork. Setting up the company, filing tax returns, dealing with the authorities and invoicing can all be done entirely online from your laptop or smartphone, wherever you are.
- A prestigious European e-commerce address: You gain a fully fledged European Union company based in a country synonymous with technological progress and transparency. This opens the door to global payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal) and worldwide markets.
- Set up in minutes: The whole process is quick, clear and free of hidden fees.
How does it work? It is simpler than you might think:
- Obtain e-Residency: You apply for an Estonian digital identity (e-Residency card), which you collect from an embassy.
- Set up your company online: With our help (or on your own), you register the company in the Estonian Commercial Register in just a few clicks.
- Do business without borders: You open a business account (with a traditional bank or through modern fintechs such as Wise or Revolut Business) and can start invoicing straight away.
💼 Who is an Estonian company ideal for?
- Freelance IT specialists, programmers and designers.
- E-shop owners, dropshippers and creators of digital products.
- Consultants, marketers and digital nomads who do not want to be tied to one place.
Stop battling red tape at home and start growing. Estonia gives you the freedom that modern business demands.
