Global Estonia forms Estonian private limited companies for international founders and
provides what the company needs afterwards — a registered address, a contact person,
mail handling and accounting — as one licensed provider.
Every person the Commercial Register requires to sign must be able to use an electronic identification and digital signature method Estonia accepts. e-Residency is the usual route for founders who are not Estonian residents.

How it works
Four stages. The order matters — nothing is filed before the compliance assessment is complete.
Stage 1
Submit your application
Tell us about the company you want and the people behind it. The onboarding and compliance assessment fee is payable at this point.
Stage 2
Compliance assessment
Identity verification, sanctions and PEP screening, beneficial-ownership and source-of-funds review. Approval is not automatic and is not guaranteed.
Stage 3
Sign and file
Once approved and the Stage 2 agreement is executed, we prepare and electronically submit the incorporation petition. You pay the state fee directly to the register.
Stage 4
Ongoing administration
Registered address, contact person and mail forwarding run for a 12-month term and renew annually. Accounting runs alongside.
What we do
Formation is the first step. What keeps a company registered is everything after it.
One standard electronic incorporation petition, standard Articles of Association, one electronic submission to the Commercial Register, and the first response to a minor registry correction order.
Registered address
Companies whose management board does not reside in Estonia.
Use of the JusTrust address as the company registered legal address in official registers, invoices, contracts, bank applications and mandatory corporate disclosures.
Contact person
Included with the address in the same annual package.
JusTrust is appointed as the company registered contact person, receiving procedural documents and declarations of intent on the company behalf.
Mail forwarding
Every company using the registered address.
Correspondence is opened, scanned and forwarded electronically.
Accounting
Required of every client, provided by Quintum OÜ.
Estonian statutory bookkeeping, applicable Estonian tax filings and annual reports, under the applicable Accounting Schedule.
VAT registration submission
Optional, only when you select it.
Technical electronic transmission of one VAT registration application to the Estonian Tax and Customs Board, using content you supply.
Fees
All figures are net of VAT. VAT is added only where required by law, and the treatment depends on
your status, location and the applicable place-of-supply rules.

Why Estonia
A company you can administer from anywhere
Estonia lets the formation petition, the Articles of Association and later filings be signed and submitted electronically, so the founders never have to be in the country to keep the company in good standing.
An EU private limited company
The osaühing (OÜ) is the standard Estonian private limited form, entered in a public commercial register that banks, payment providers and counterparties can check directly.
One provider for the obligations that follow
A registered address and contact person, mail handling, bookkeeping, tax filings and annual reports are ongoing duties, not one-off tasks. We provide them together so no part of it is left unowned.
This is not tax advice.
Forming an Estonian company does not by itself determine where you or the company are taxed.
Obligations may also arise in your country of residence or where the company is effectively
managed. Our services do not constitute legal, tax or professional structuring advice, and you
remain responsible for obtaining independent professional advice.
Why Global Estonia
A licensed Estonian provider
JusTrust OÜ holds FIU activity licence FIU000395 and is registered in Estonia under code 16093920.
Compliance done by people
Identity verification, screening and beneficial-ownership review are assessed, not rubber-stamped. We say plainly that approval is not guaranteed.
Formation and administration together
Address, contact person, mail and accounting come from the same relationship, so nothing falls between two suppliers.
Fees stated in full
The one-off fee, the annual fee and the state fee are shown separately, including which of them we never receive.
Built for founders abroad
200+ companies formed since 2021 for founders who administer them from outside Estonia.
Clear limits on our role
As contact person we receive procedural documents. We are not a board member, agent or signatory, and we say so in the contract rather than the small print.
Questions founders ask
Every answer here follows the terms you would be signing.
Do I need e-Residency to form the company?
What the electronic formation service requires is that every person the Commercial Register requires to sign can use an accepted electronic-identification and digital-signature method, and that the proposed structure can be processed through the standard electronic formation procedure. e-Residency is the usual way founders who are not Estonian residents meet that condition.
What does the EUR 310 fee cover?
It is a single fee covering our onboarding and compliance assessment, and — where you are approved and the Stage 2 agreement is validly executed — our standard electronic company-formation services through the Estonian e-Business Register. No separate professional company-formation fee is charged on top of it.
What is not included in that fee?
The Estonian state registration fee; the annual registered-address, contact-person and mail-forwarding package; the optional VAT registration application submission service; accounting services provided by Quintum OÜ; non-standard legal, tax, corporate or restructuring work; and third-party fees and costs.
Who receives the state fee?
The Estonian State. It is payable directly by you to the Estonian State through the e-Business Register, and it is not charged, invoiced or received by JusTrust or Quintum. Any refund of it is governed exclusively by the applicable state procedure.
Is my company registration guaranteed?
No. Payment does not guarantee compliance approval, acceptance as a customer, approval of a proposed company name, registration of the company, VAT registration, or completion within any particular period. The decision whether to register the company is made exclusively by the Estonian Commercial Register.
Can I get the EUR 310 fee back?
It is fully refundable only if you cancel before we have commenced any substantive compliance assessment activity — for example automated sanctions or PEP screening, an identity-verification session, manual document review, beneficial-ownership review, or source-of-funds review. Once any such activity has commenced the fee is fully earned and non-refundable, including if the application is rejected, abandoned or not completed. If we cancel the assessment before any substantive activity has commenced, the fee is refunded in full.
What is in the annual EUR 200 package?
Use of the JusTrust address as the company registered legal address, appointment of JusTrust as the registered contact person, and the mail-receipt and forwarding services. It runs for an initial 12-month term and is mandatory for that term.
What can the contact person do on my behalf?
The role is limited to receiving procedural documents and declarations of intent. JusTrust does not act as a management board member, director, agent, proxy, authorised signatory or legal representative, and has no authority to enter into transactions, make decisions, accept commercial liabilities, operate bank or payment accounts, or assume obligations on behalf of the company.
Can I use the address as my office?
No. You may use it as the registered legal address in official registers, invoices, contracts, bank and payment-service applications and mandatory corporate disclosures. It must not be represented or used as a physical office, place of effective management, warehouse, returns address, customer-service location, licensed premises, operational establishment, meeting location, or a place where employees, goods or business records are physically based.
Are there annual fees after the first year?
Yes. The registered-address, contact-person and mail-forwarding package renews annually. Renewal requires payment of the renewal fee, completion of any required KYC, compliance or risk update, our consent to continue acting, and timely digital signature and submission of any required Commercial Register application before the existing registered term expires. Paying a renewal invoice on its own does not extend the registered term of the contact person.
Is there a state fee for the contact person entry?
Yes, whenever the appointment requires a Commercial Register application. Entering or changing a company's registered contact person is an amendment of registered data, and the Estonian State charges a state fee of EUR 25 for it. Any state or registry fee applicable to an extension, reappointment or new appointment is payable by you, directly to the Estonian State. It is not charged, invoiced or received by JusTrust or Quintum.
Is accounting included?
No, it is charged separately by Quintum OÜ under the applicable Accounting Schedule. It is, however, contractually required: to support transaction monitoring and compliance under RahaPTS, clients use Quintum for Estonian statutory bookkeeping, applicable Estonian tax filings and annual reports.
Does an Estonian company remove my tax obligations at home?
Our formation, VAT submission and registered-address services do not constitute legal advice, tax advice, accounting advice outside the agreed accounting services, or professional structuring advice. You remain responsible for obtaining independent professional advice on your ownership, management, tax position, regulatory obligations and business operations.
Start your company
The first step is a short eligibility check, then onboarding and the compliance assessment.
Formation begins once you are approved.
