Each service in detail
General information, not legal advice. Prices are in the table above.
Ready-made Estonian company — every package
The purchase of an existing Estonian private limited company (osaühing, OÜ) that has already been entered in the commercial register, with its registry code, articles of association and history, transferred to you together with the management board position.
For whom: Founders who need a company quickly — for example to sign a contract, or to apply for a licence or a bank account that requires a company with a registration date in the past — and who prefer to avoid the formation process.
What you receive
- The shares of the company transferred to you by a notarised transfer
- Your appointment as management board member entered in the register
- Registered address in Estonia and licensed contact person for the first 12 months
- The company documents in PDF
Conditions
The transfer is signed in person at a notary in Tallinn or remotely on the basis of a notarised power of attorney. A VAT number is included only in the packages that say so. Customer due diligence (identity, source of funds, beneficial owners) must be completed before the transfer.
Law and requirements
- Commercial Code — private limited company, transfer of shares (notarial form), management board
- Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Act — customer due diligence
- Commercial Register Act § 24 — contact person
Not included in the price
- Additional shareholders or board members beyond the first person (a fixed surcharge, calculated in the order form)
- Accounting, annual reports and taxes after the transfer
- The fee of a notary in your home country and the apostille on the remote route
Who does what
- LexorCorp
- Prepare the transfer documents, organise the notary, file the register changes, provide the address and contact person service.
- You
- Provide identity documents and due diligence information, sign the transfer or the power of attorney, keep the company's obligations after the transfer.
- Authority

Express: signing at a notary office in Tallinn within 1–3 days
We book your signing appointment at a notary office in Tallinn within 1–3 days of your order and payment, instead of the usual 6–10 days.
For whom: Clients who come to Tallinn in person — to buy a ready-made company or to form a new company at the notary — and need the signing sooner, for example for a contract, a bank meeting or a trip already planned.
What you receive
- A notary appointment in Tallinn within 1–3 days of your order and payment
- The documents for the transaction prepared and sent to the notary in that time
- The exact date and time confirmed to you before you travel
Conditions
Only with the three in-person packages — a ready-made company bought in person in Tallinn, without or with a VAT number, and company formation at a notary in Tallinn — not with the remote packages signed by a notarised power of attorney. Your details and documents must reach us before the booking. Express speeds up the signing appointment only; the Commercial Register makes its entry on its own schedule.
Law and requirements
- Commercial Code § 149 — the transfer of a share in a private limited company is notarially certified
- Commercial Register Act § 41 — the registrar reviews an application within its own time limits
