Company formation
Registering a company in Latvia is straightforward when the paperwork is prepared correctly and submitted to the Enterprise Register (UR). We set up your Latvian SIA (LLC) end-to-end, with a focus on non-EU founders who need a clean structure for banking, VAT, and future immigration steps.
What’s included
Entity choice and setup design (SIA, low-capital SIA where applicable, branch).
Company name check guidance and registration readiness.
Preparation of incorporation package (application forms, founding decision/agreement, articles of association).
Beneficial owner (UBO) information preparation and consistency checks.
Signature route guidance (e-signature vs notarisation, when translations/legalisation are needed).
Submission coordination and follow-up until registration decision.
What we need from you
Shareholder(s) and board member details (names, DOB, citizenship, addresses)
Passport/ID scans and, where needed, notarised/legalised copies
Planned company name options (2-3 alternatives)
Legal address in Latvia (can be provided as a service)
Business activity description (short, practical) for bank and compliance alignment
UBO structure explanation (who ultimately owns/controls the company)
How it works
Quick eligibility & structure call (10-20 min) to confirm the best setup
Document drafting + a checklist for signing and legalisation (if required)
Submission to the Enterprise Register and payment guidance for state fees
UR review cycle (we handle clarifications/requests if UR asks for amendments)
Company registration outcome + extraction of registration data for next steps (bank/VAT/accounting)
Typical timeline
UR review is commonly measured in business days once documents are submitted; actual end-to-end timing depends on signing method (e-signature vs notarisation/legalisation), document translations, and completeness of UBO data.
Common pitfalls we prevent
Mismatch between shareholder/UBO details across documents
Incorrect or incomplete legal address consent/format
Signature formalities not aligned with the submission route (electronic vs paper)
Vague business activity description that later creates bank/KYC friction
Missing UBO declaration where required
FAQs
Find answers to common questions!
Often yes, but the practical route depends on signatures, legalisation, and whether you can use qualified e-signatures. We advise the fastest compliant path case-by-case.
The Enterprise Register has statutory review timelines, but overall timing depends on how quickly documents are signed and whether UR requests clarifications.
In many cases, no. We design a structure that meets legal requirements and supports bank/KYC expectations.
You must provide accurate ultimate ownership/control details. We help ensure consistency across incorporation and future compliance steps.
