Ask for the list of available companiesWhat a ready-made company is
A ready-made company is an Estonian OÜ already entered in the commercial register that has had no business activity. Share capital is paid in and the articles are in place, so it can be put to use without going through incorporation.
This helps when a contract, tender or partner requires an existing legal entity sooner than founding and registration would realistically take.
- the company exists in the register and has had no activity
- share capital is paid in
- name, field of activity and board are changed on transfer
- the transfer is executed at a notary
How the transaction works
First we send the list of available companies with their founding dates and prices. Once you have chosen, we book a notary appointment.
At the notary the shares are sold, after which the changes are filed with the register: new name, board, address and field of activity. Once the entry takes effect you can open a bank account and start work.
What comes with the transfer
You receive the founding documents, an overview of entries made so far and confirmation that there has been no business activity. If you wish, we also start the accounting immediately so the first month is properly documented.
Cost and what else to plan for
The price consists of the company itself, the notary fee and the state fees for the registry entries. We state the total before the transaction so nothing is a surprise at the notary.
Once the entry takes effect you need to open a bank account, apply for a VAT number if the activity requires one, and start bookkeeping from the first month of operations. We help with those steps too.
- company price, notary fee and state fee
- opening a bank account with the new board
- VAT registration when the activity requires it
- accounting set up from the first month
Frequently asked questions
What is a ready-made company and when is it needed?
A ready-made company is an already registered OÜ with no business history. It is needed when you require a company faster than founding and registration would allow, for example because of a contract, tender or transaction deadline.
How quickly can a ready-made company be taken over?
The transaction is executed at a notary and usually takes a couple of days from choosing a company off the list. Timing depends on notary availability and the registry entry taking effect.
Which documents are needed at the notary?
A valid identity document and the details of the new board, name, address and field of activity. For a corporate buyer, documents proving the right of representation as well. We send the exact list before the appointment.
Does a ready-made company have prior activity or liabilities?
No. We only offer companies with no business activity and no liabilities. You also receive written confirmation of that and an overview of the entries made so far.
Can a ready-made company be VAT registered immediately?
Registration can be applied for as soon as the board and details are changed. The Tax and Customs Board normally asks for evidence of planned activity, such as a contract or an offer. We help prepare the application.
