Register your company in just 5 days!
Latvia currently offers one of the fastest and most digitally advanced company registration processes in Europe. Thanks to streamlined procedures and electronic systems, a company can be registered within just a few working days, allowing entrepreneurs to start operating quickly and focus on growing their business.
Why Is Company Registration in Latvia So Fast?
Latvia’s speed comes from its highly digitalised public administration and the efficient processes of the Register of Enterprises.
Key factors include:
- Company documents can be submitted electronically, without visiting Latvia in person.
- Applications signed with a secure electronic signature are processed rapidly.
- Administrative procedures are optimised to support both local and foreign entrepreneurs.
As a result, it is entirely realistic for a company to be registered in as little as 3 to 5 working days, provided that all documents are prepared correctly and submitted without errors.
What Does the Registration Process Involve?
Registering a limited liability company (SIA) or another legal entity in Latvia typically includes the following steps:
- Choosing the company name and legal address
- Preparing incorporation documents
- Signing documents electronically or before a notary
- Submitting the application to the Latvian Register of Enterprises
- Making the share capital contribution or providing confirmation
- Receiving the official registration decision
When documents are prepared correctly and submitted electronically, the registration itself can be completed very quickly.
What Affects the Registration Timeline?
The speed of registration mainly depends on whether:
- all documents are prepared accurately,
- the share capital requirements are fulfilled,
- the application is submitted electronically with a valid e-signature.
If additional clarifications or corrections are required by the authorities, the process may take longer. Proper preparation is therefore essential to benefit from the fastest possible timeline.
Is Fast Registration Available to Foreign Entrepreneurs?
Yes. Foreign nationals can also take advantage of Latvia’s fast company registration process, provided that they:
- prepare the documents in line with Latvian requirements,
- use an electronic signature or a power of attorney,
- submit the application electronically.
This makes Latvia particularly attractive for international founders who want to establish an EU-based company without lengthy procedures. While opening a bank account or completing additional compliance checks may take longer, the legal registration itself can be completed very quickly.
Why Does Speed Matter for Your Business?
A fast registration process means:
- quicker access to the market and clients,
- reduced administrative burden,
- earlier financial and operational planning,
- no need to wait weeks or months before starting activity.
For entrepreneurs expanding internationally, time efficiency can make a significant difference.
