Preparation: things to be done prior to company formation
Before you even draft the documents, you need to make two decisions to determine how to proceed: In which jurisdiction will you incorporate your company? And which legal form will you choose? These two factors determine a variety of things, such as the process of incorporation, the documents required, and the taxes your company will have to pay. You can learn more about the main jurisdictions and legal structures on our website.
After you have decided on the location and legal form of your company, you need to think about the company name and legal address. Usually there are certain requirements that the company name must meet. However, these vary from country to country. It is therefore best to check the availability of your desired name before creating any documents. As a rule, a legal address can be rented, if necessary, with virtual office services.
