What's included

Everything the company needs to start operating

We handle each step between your first message and a registered company with its tax numbers. Local director, registered address and accounting are available as an add-on.

  • ✓

    Choice of legal form

    We match the form to what the company will do, so you do not pay for an S.A. when an S.à r.l. is enough.

  • ✓

    Articles of association

    Written around your shareholders, share classes and decision rules, not copied from a template.

  • ✓

    Notary coordination

    We book the notary, check every document before the deed and attend on your behalf.

  • ✓

    RCS registration and RESA publication

    The company receives its RCS number and is published in the official register.

  • ✓

    Tax and VAT registration

    Registration with the tax authority, and VAT where the company needs it.

  • ✓

    Beneficial owner filing

    Entry of the ultimate owners in the Luxembourg beneficial owner register (RBE).

  • ✓

    Business permit application

    If the company will trade, we prepare the application to the Ministry of the Economy.

  • ✓

    Bank file

    A file prepared the way a Luxembourg bank's compliance team reads it, with an introduction to the bank.

How it works

From first message to registered company

The timeline depends mostly on how quickly the documents arrive. The bank account runs in parallel and usually takes a few weeks longer.

Passport and proof of address issued in the last three months.

Legal forms

Is it right for you?

Luxembourg suits some businesses far better than others

A good fit if

  • ✓

    You hold investments or shares in other companies

    Luxembourg's participation exemption and treaty network are built for this.

  • ✓

    You raise or manage capital from investors

    The fund and partnership vehicles are the European market standard.

  • ✓

    You work with European banks and institutional partners

    A Luxembourg company is a familiar and trusted counterparty.

Probably not for you if

  • ✕

    You run one small business in one country

    A company at home will be cheaper and simpler to run.

  • ✕

    You are looking for a low tax rate

    Luxembourg taxes companies at 23.87% in the capital. The benefit is in the holding rules, not the rate.

  • ✕

    You want to hide who owns the company

    Ownership is registered and checked by the notary and the bank.

FAQ

Questions before you start

How much does it cost?+

The fee depends on the legal form, the business permit and whether you need a local director and address. We send a fixed quote after a short call, and it does not change once we start.

Do I have to pay the share capital before registration?+

Since June 2026 the EUR 12,000 of an S.à r.l. must be subscribed at incorporation, but the cash payment can be made within twelve months. This removes the bank account from the critical path.

Do I need a business permit?+

Yes, if the company trades, provides a craft service or most professional services. A pure holding company does not need one.

Do I need a Luxembourg director?+

The law does not require one. In practice, tax residence and bank acceptance depend on the company being managed in Luxembourg, so we recommend it for most structures.

How long does the bank account take?+

Usually two to eight weeks, depending on the bank and the shareholders. We prepare the file and introduce you, but the bank makes the decision.
