According to the Estonian laws, an Estonian company must have a local address, where procedural documents can be delivered and the company can be reached by, even when managed from abroad.
Also, having an Estonian mailing address and phone number will indicate that your company is trustworthy and provides a more professional image to other parties.
Therefore, many of our clients have opted in to use our service to have a virtual office in Estonia and have chosen us as they wish to work with a specialised and committed intermediary that can handle all of their needs.
Incorporate is ready to help you! Please feel free to reach out to us if you would like to get more information about any of our company formation & management services or accounting services.
Who can benefit from the use of virtual office services in Estonia?
Obviously, the biggest benefit is fulfilling the legal requirement of having a local address which all businesses established in Estonia must have, whether they are managed in Estonia or not. That being said, the motivations behind using virtual office services can be different, while certain patterns can be spotted:
- Businesses managed from abroad that wish to benefit from having a local partner that takes care of their local contact and administrative needs.
- Businesses managed in Estonia that wish to keep administrative costs low while having the flexibility to work from anywhere at any time.
- Local businesses looking to have a point of contact in another city.
- Businesses that wish to explore the Estonian market and wish to establish a primary presence before expanding.
Before we get into the specifics of our services, here are a couple of advantages of using a virtual office for your Estonian company:
- Cost effective – Renting out an office can add additional costs in managing your business, as well as having to pay salary to an employee to manage the administrative tasks. Virtual office offers an affordable alternative.
- Completely legal – As mentioned above, having a local address is a requirement for an Estonian company, luckily the legislators have accounted because many international entrepreneurs manage their Estonian companies from abroad which has left this service legal for businesses to use. However, an important note to make here is that only companies with an approved licence can provide some of these services.
- Built for remote business management – Having a business partner take care of your local correspondence significantly increases the flexibility you can have and enables you to travel and/or live abroad.
- Gives peace of mind – Using virtual office services can help you keep your mind at ease by giving these tasks over to a professional team who knows what they are doing. Our team has extensive experience in Estonian and EU laws, taxes, economy and markets which can give you an edge over your competition!
