SET-UP OF LEGAL ENTITIES
Setting up a legal entity is crucial yet can be complex and challenging for any venture. Whether focusing on domestic or international markets, you should have a strong foundation to start your business.
Legal 500, the guide of the world’s leading law firms, recommends FORT as a leading law firm for all legal services in the Baltics, including the set-up of legal entities.
The process takes time and has certain steps. It involves selecting the most suitable legal structure, fulfilling registration requirements, and ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations. With us by your side, you can navigate the complexities with confidence and ease. This allows you to focus on adding value to your business rather than legal or administrative issues.
What is the Set-Up of Legal Entities?
The set-up of legal entities refers to the process of creating a separate legal structure under which a business operates. Each country has a unique legal system for entity setup. Most common examples include sole proprietorship partnerships, limited liability companies, public companies, etc.
Choosing the appropriate legal entity type is crucial. Your decision will influence various aspects of your business, such as taxation, liability, management, and decision-making. Each legal structure has its own advantages and disadvantages, and understanding the nuances of each can be challenging without expert guidance.
We will analyse the situation and help you make the most beneficial decision.
