Building a business can be tough, but starting a company should be simple. If you can register a domain name for your company in a few minutes then why not your company too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why Unicount<\/a> was created. Unicount is the simplest way to register an Estonian company. It\u2019s also the simplest way to start a paperless EU company from anywhere in the world. It takes just five minutes. Unicount is used by citizens and residents of Estonia, but also a growing number of people around the world because all you need is an Estonian digital ID, which can be obtained by citizens of other countries living outside Estonia through e-Residency<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n And if you already have a company then you can still use Unicount to subscribe to a virtual office in Estonia<\/a> or contact person service<\/a>. You can read more about how virtual office service works<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So here\u2019s a guide for how to establish a paperless EU company through Unicount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unicount provides company creation via the Estonian Business Register\u2019s API, as well as a virtual office and accounting<\/a> with tips and support for managing a company in Estonia. You are welcome to use the state\u2019s e-Business Register<\/a> if you choose, but Unicount offers everything you need to complete the process including more guidance, more services, and less hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ingmar Vali, the Head of the Court Registers department at Estonia\u2019s Centre of Registers and Information Systems, explains: \u201cWe developed this API to give service providers an opportunity to develop a better user experience by combining public and private services.\u201d One of the best samples of it is that Unicount has made company formation available in 7 languages compared to the 2 (Estonian and English) that government offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re entrepreneurs here ourselves at Unicount and we\u2019ve created many Estonian companies already between us so we know how tricky it can be sometimes. We also love good user experience and never stop working on ways to improve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The only notable limitation of the API is that Unicount is for establishing a company with one founder who is a real physical person founder. If you\u2019d like to have multiple founders or a subsidiary of an existing legal entity in Estonia then you will need to either use the e-Business Register, find a notary, or add additional shareholders afterwards<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You must be a citizen, resident or e-resident of Estonia in order to use the Unicount company formation service. That\u2019s because you need an Estonian personal identification code (known as an ‘isikukood’), as well as your digital ID for access and signing. Unicount is compatible with all Estonian digital ID cards (such as those held by citizens, residents and e-residents), as well as Estonian Mobile-ID and Smart-ID<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\nWhat is Unicount?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
