WHICH COUNTRY IS BEST FOR YOUR BUSINESS?
If you’re wondering which country is most advantageous for registering a company, it’s essential to know that there’s no single "best" country for every business. Just as each business is unique, so are the requirements for choosing the ideal location for a company. The best approach is to consult with our specialists, who handle the setup and sale of ready-made companies abroad on a daily basis.
This is particularly important, as one country may be ideal for registering holding companies, while another offers a superior legal and tax system, making it more suitable for IT or consulting businesses. For e-commerce ventures, a completely different country might be the best choice. Our specialists can guide you on what to consider when choosing a country for company registration abroad, ensuring you select the location that best fits your business needs.

NEW COMPANY OR SHELF COMPANY?
When registering a company abroad, our clients often wonder: Should I register a new company or buy an existing one abroad?
The decision between choosing a new company or a shelf company depends on the client’s individual situation and the country where they plan to operate. When deciding which company structure to choose in Europe, the key consideration is usually the VAT registration process. In some countries, VAT registration is fast and takes less than a week, and the same applies to opening a foreign bank account. In these cases, registering a new company abroad is the best option. However, if the registration process in certain countries takes months, purchasing a shelf company is a better solution, especially when time is a critical factor. The cost of registering a new company abroad is typically around 2,000 euros per year, with similar costs for maintaining the company. For a shelf company, the price is determined individually and depends on factors like the company’s age, VAT registration, and the presence of a bank account. On average, the cost of a shelf company abroad is between 3,000 and 3,500 euros.
