To register a company in Estonia, you do not necessarily need a local director, but you do need a local address. Here's a detailed look at the requirements:

Local Director

  • Not Required: Estonia does not require you to have a local director for company registration. A company can be managed by directors from anywhere in the world.
  • Director Requirements: The director(s) must be registered with the Estonian Commercial Register, and they should be a person of legal capacity. For some types of companies, you might need to provide information about the director’s personal identification details.

Local Address

  • Required: You must have a local address in Estonia for your company. This address will be used for official correspondence and must be a physical address (not a P.O. Box).
  • Options for Local Address:
    • Virtual Office: Many businesses use virtual office services that provide a local address and mail forwarding.
    • Shared Office Space: You can rent office space or use co-working spaces that offer business address services.
    • Registered Office Providers: You can use a registered office service provider to meet this requirement.

Additional Requirements

  • Company Formation: You’ll need to follow the process for registering a company with the Estonian Business Register, which includes choosing a company type, drafting the articles of association, and fulfilling any initial capital requirements.
  • E-Residency: While not mandatory, many foreign entrepreneurs use Estonia’s e-Residency program to start and manage their businesses remotely. E-Residency allows you to handle company registration, banking, and management entirely online.

Summary

  • Local Director: Not required; directors can be from any location.
  • Local Address: Required; can be fulfilled using virtual offices, shared office spaces, or registered office providers.

These requirements are part of Estonia's streamlined approach to business registration, making it accessible for international entrepreneurs and investors.
