Start your business
in Latvia
We guide you through registering your company in Latvia. With properly prepared documents submitted to the Enterprise Register, the process can be smooth. We assist to EU and non-EU founders by offering guidance on structure, paperwork, and each step of the process.
We help with entity selection, name checks, and guidance on submitting incorporation documents. While we coordinate the process, official decisions are made by the Register.
We’ll advise you on shareholder details, legal address, and signing steps. After a brief consultation, we guide you on fees and follow-ups. We offer guidance and coordination - official registration is always by the Enterprise Register.
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.
