Key Steps of Registering a Foreign Company
- Document preparation:
You need to prepare and submit the company’s founding documents, as well as identity documents of the founders and directors. Some jurisdictions may require additional confirmations, such as a business plan or proof of funding sources. - Choosing the company type:
Different countries have various legal forms of companies (LTD, LLC, LLP, corporation, etc.). The choice depends on the business goals, the number of owners, and tax optimization needs. - Obtaining necessary licenses:
Some types of activities may require additional licenses or permits, especially in financial or highly regulated industries. - Opening a bank account:
Opening a bank account for a foreign company can be challenging, so it is important to choose a jurisdiction where banks cooperate with foreign companies. Additionally, fintech companies and neobanks may offer alternative options for opening accounts. - Providing a legal address:
In most jurisdictions, companies must have a registered legal address. This can be a physical office or a virtual office, which allows avoiding additional rental costs.
