Both are mandatory, but on different legal grounds. A legal address is required by the Estonian Commercial Code for every legal entity and must be stated when the company is registered. A contact person is required for every company whose management board member is not a resident of Estonia — this is the main communication channel between the company and state authorities. If you are a non-resident founder, the address and the contact person agreement must be in place before the company is registered.
Under Article 8 of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Act, these services may be provided by notary and law offices, certified public accountants and auditing organisations, and legal entities offering trust and commercial partnership services. eBusiness Solutions OÜ holds corporate service provider licence FIU000421 and is supervised by the Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit.
The legal address and contact person service starts from €280 for one year, €490 for two years and €590 for three years (VAT is added to the prices). Every package includes the legal address itself, the contact person service, preparation of the documents required to appoint or change the address and the representative partner, forwarding of incoming mail, and free advice on doing business in Estonia.
Submitting a request, paying the invoice and receiving your instructions and supporting documents takes around 5 minutes. If you hold an e-Residency card, the entire company registration process takes no more than 30 minutes.
No. It is an official address with a mailbox where correspondence concerning your company is delivered — not premises to work from. Only real addresses can be entered in the Commercial Register, which is why we provide addresses in serviced business centres in Tallinn. If you need physical premises, our managers will be glad to help you acquire or rent an office in Estonia.
When ordering the service you provide an email address, and our operators send scanned copies of all incoming correspondence to it. At your request, we forward the originals by courier.
This is one of the grounds for compulsory removal of a company from the Commercial Register, alongside systematic failure to submit annual reports. There is an additional risk: official notices are deemed delivered even if you did not actually receive them. For this reason it is important to renew the agreement on time.
The company submits an electronic application for the change of the legal address in the e-Business Register, stating its new location. Corresponding amendments must also be made to the articles of association, and where the articles are amended a state fee of €25 is payable to the Estonian Ministry of Finance for the application to be considered. We prepare all the required documents for you.
No. The e-Residency programme allows foreign entrepreneurs to register and administer an Estonian company remotely, but it does not grant the right of residence in Estonia and does not automatically guarantee access to banking services. If you need a lawful basis for presence in Estonia, that is a separate process — a visa or a residence permit — and we assist with preparing the documentation.
