How company formation works?Frequently asked questions
You can use the Unicount online company formation service to register an Estonian limited liability company (OÜ) with a single founder, shareholder and board member (being you).
Restrictions are related to the API service provided by Estonian Business Register to company formation agents such as Unicount.
If you need to register a company with multiple shareholders and board members please follow the advice here.
If you do not have an Estonian digital identity card, Mobile-ID or Smart-ID, you can register a company in Estonia by physically visiting a notary in Estonia. Here is the list of all Estonian notaries. All notaries charge the same amount of money for company formation as the prices are regulated.
If you cannot visit Estonia you have an alternative of preparing and certifying a power of attorney. It is a document that specifies who can represent you in Estonian notary and for what purpose. It will be a very detailed document to include your exact intention as a founder. If it is not in Estonian or English then probably it needs to be translated by a sworn translator in Estonia.
Unicount does not provide company registration service via power of attorney as we only work with online formations.
This depends on whether you have Estonian digital identity already or not. Receiving the e-resident card takes 6-8 weeks in most cases.
Once you have collected the card from one of the pick up locations, registering a company in Estonia takes about 1-2 working days.
You can pay the company formation fee with Apple Pay, Google Pay, using your Mastercard, VISA, UnionPay or American Express card via Stripe or through Baltic bank links.

This includes Amazon FBA and other dropshipping businesses having tax registrations in other countries besides Estonia. We would not be able to provide accounting services to companies having tax reporting liabilities in other countries.
Unicount online company formation service uses Estonian Business Register API that has a limitation of one physical person as a founder. This means that our online formation service is not suitable for everyone looking to set up a company in Estonia.
There is an alternative to register the company through the e-Business Register and use our virtual office service. Follow this link to learn how to register a multiple shareholder company.
Unicount only provides company formation service in bundle with virtual office subscription. You would pay your first annual subscription fee together with your company formation fees.
Please visit our virtual office page to sign up with your existing Estonian company when you are looking to switch your service provider or when registering a company via Unicount API service is not possible. This can happen for example if you have multiple e-resident shareholders or legal persons as founders.
