When entrepreneurs look to establish a business in Europe, their first thoughts often turn to Germany, France, or the United Kingdom. However, there is a smaller, business-friendly country that is increasingly attracting international entrepreneurs — Latvia.

Why Latvia?

Latvia offers a combination of advantages that make it an appealing choice for company formation and expansion:

  • Strategic location – With direct access to both Scandinavia and Western Europe, Latvia is an ideal base for cross-border business.
  • Skilled, multilingual workforce – English, Russian, and other language skills are common, and labor costs remain competitive.
  • Business-friendly tax system – Corporate income tax on reinvested profits is 0%, encouraging growth and reinvestment.
  • Efficient digital processes – From company registration to compliance, many procedures can be completed online within hours.
  • Pathway to EU residency – Company ownership in Latvia can open the door to residency opportunities for entrepreneurs and their families.
