Corporate secretarial in Estonia

An Estonian company managed from abroad must designate a contact person with a residence and an address in Estonia, and the role can be filled by a notary, an attorney, a law firm, a sworn auditor, a tax representative or a provider of trust and company services, according to the e-Residency programme. Corporate secretarial work covers this role and the routine around it: registers, resolutions, changes to the board and filings with the registry.

Estonian practice is lighter on paperwork than some countries, because filings go through the online registry. Still, someone must keep the records and respond to the registry. Ask what the retainer includes, how fast the firm records a change of board member, and whether the contact-person role is included or priced separately. Check any licences declared on the profile, since providers of trust and company services are regulated.

Of the 56 firms in Estonia that offer corporate secretarial work, the mix is 30 accounting firms, 23 corporate services providers and 3 law firms. English is the most common language, offered by 51, followed by Estonian (41) and Russian (28), and 51 say they work with foreign clients. Forty-two publish pricing. They name e-commerce, startups and crypto most often. See the Estonia guide, or compare practices in Tallinn.
