Quick Answer
Registering an Estonian company without e-Residency costs about €1,720 by power of attorney and about €1,380 if you come to Estonia and sign at the notary yourself. These are median first-year totals, including VAT and a legal address, for a sole founder living in the EU, based on Eesti Firma’s check of prices at 20 providers by power of attorney and 11 in person in November 2026.
The full cost is often higher than the advertised price, because some advertised prices do not include the legal address, the state fee, the notary’s fee or VAT.
You do not need an e-Residency card to start an Estonian company, even as a non-resident. You can sign the founding documents at a notary in Estonia yourself, or give a power of attorney to a provider whose representative signs them for you. Registration by power of attorney is often called remote registration.
We checked the websites of 42 providers that register Estonian companies and compared prices at the 20 that publish a comparable price for registration without e-Residency. For each of them, we calculated the full first-year cost: the provider’s fee, the state fee, the notary, the translation of the power of attorney where needed, an Estonian legal address and VAT where the provider charges it.
About This Comparison
All totals are for one typical client: a private individual living in the EU who registers a company alone, as its only shareholder and board member, needs an Estonian legal address for the first year and pays Estonian VAT on the provider’s fees. The totals are our own calculations from the prices that the providers publish on their websites, as checked in November 2026. Eesti Firma is one of the providers compared, and the full disclaimer is at the end of the page.
Key Findings From Our Price Comparison
- The median first-year total by power of attorney is €1,722, with totals ranging from €1,130 to €2,928 at 20 providers. For registration in person at a notary in Estonia, the median is €1,378 and the range €882 to €2,074 at 11 providers.
- Registration in person is usually cheaper than by power of attorney, not counting the trip. Of the 11 providers that price both routes, 10 cost less in total for registration in person, with a median saving of about €370, and one costs the same.
- By power of attorney, the advertised price already matches our total for five providers, give or take a few per cent. For four, our total is more than 1.5 times the advertised price even after adding VAT where the website says it is added, and at the top end it is close to twice as much.
- Six of the 20 providers quote only a “from” price for registration by power of attorney, so the final amount depends on the details of each order.
- Eleven of the 20 power of attorney packages do not include an Estonian legal address for the first year, which founders who live abroad usually buy separately.
- Three of the 20 providers quote €265 as the state fee for registration through a notary. That is the fee for online registration; through a notary it is €200.
- Six of the 20 providers do not mention VAT for registration at all. Five of them are registered for VAT, so we treated their prices as excluding VAT and added 24% to their fees; the sixth, Eesti Consulting, is not, so we added none.

Only 11 of the 20 providers publish a price that applies to founders who come to Estonia and sign at the notary themselves. The other nine price only registration by power of attorney, although MAXCORP mentions a notary visit in Tallinn without a separate price.

Power of Attorney or a Visit to Estonia: Which Costs Less?
For the same provider, registration in person usually costs less, because you sign yourself and no power of attorney has to be prepared or translated. The median saving is about €370, but travel is not included, so the real difference depends on where you travel from.
Registration by power of attorney saves the trip but adds costs at home: you sign the power of attorney before a notary in your own country and, where your country requires it, add an apostille or legalisation. The cost of these steps varies by country and is not included in our totals. Two providers in our comparison, Enty and Capture, arrange certification of the power of attorney over a video call instead, so you do not need to visit a notary at home.
Our step-by-step guide to registering an Estonian company without e-Residency explains both routes, and a separate page covers how long registration takes by each route.
Registration Costs That May Not Be in the Advertised Price
Advertised prices differ mostly in which of the following costs they include.
The State Fee
Registering a private limited company, or OÜ, through a notary costs a state fee of €200, while online registration costs €265 (State Fees Act, § 62(2)). The fee is the same with every provider and is not subject to VAT; if a provider bills it on top and quotes €265, ask which amount will appear on the invoice.
The Estonian Notary
An Estonian notary certifies the founding documents. In our practice, for a company with one founder, the notary’s fee is about €150 including VAT (Notary Fees Act, §§ 18 and 22). Fourteen of the 20 providers include it or present it as part of the service, three charge it separately and three do not mention it.
Translation of the Power of Attorney
A power of attorney signed abroad needs a sworn translation into Estonian for the notary, which in our practice costs about €100 including VAT. Seventeen of the 20 providers include it or do not list it as an extra, and three charge it separately.
Legal Address and Contact Person for the First Year
An Estonian company needs a legal address, also called a registered address; if the address is abroad, the company also needs a contact person in Estonia (Commercial Register Act, § 24(2)). Founders who live abroad usually buy an Estonian address as part of a virtual office package for roughly €100–500 a year, and where a package leaves the address out, it is usually the largest addition in our calculation.
VAT
Providers registered for VAT in Estonia add 24% to their own fees. Our totals assume a private individual living in the EU; founders outside the EU may pay less, as some providers do not charge them VAT.
Questions to Ask a Provider Before You Pay
Ask the provider to confirm these six points in writing, as this is where the advertised price and the invoice most often differ:
- Is the state fee included, and is it the €200 charged for registration through a notary?
- Is the Estonian notary’s fee included?
- Is the sworn translation of the power of attorney included?
- Are a legal address and a contact person included, and for how long?
- Is VAT added, and to which parts of the price?
- Is the price fixed, and what could make it higher?
Price is only part of the choice. Our comparison of legal firms and automated platforms explains which kind of provider suits which founder, and our ranking of the largest company service providers in Estonia shows how many companies each one serves.
How We Calculated the Totals
A provider is in the tables only if its website gives a comparable price for registration by power of attorney; the in-person table lists those that also price a visit to Estonia. To compare like with like, we built every total from the provider’s own fee and the same cost items. For each item we took what the provider’s website says; where it neither shows a cost as included nor prices it, we added the same standard amount for every provider, based on our own practice:
| Cost | Standard amount we added | When we added it |
|---|---|---|
| State fee | €200, no VAT | When the website does not say the state fee is included |
| Estonian notary | €150, VAT included | When the website does not say the notary’s fee is included |
| Translation of the power of attorney | €100, VAT included | Only when the website says the translation is charged separately; otherwise treated as included |
| Estonian legal address for the first year, with a contact person where required | €400 + VAT (€496) | When the package does not include an Estonian legal address and the provider publishes no price of its own for one |
| VAT | 24% | On everything except the state fee and our standard notary and translation amounts, where the provider charges VAT or is registered for VAT. A price that does not mention VAT is treated as excluding it |
Where a provider quotes €265, the fee for online registration, we counted €200 as the state fee and the difference as part of the provider’s fee, whether the €265 is in the package or billed on top. We never added VAT to the state fee, even where a website adds VAT to the whole sum, so that every total is calculated the same way. We checked each provider’s VAT registration in the e-Business Register, the public database of Estonian companies. Where a website shows a temporary discount or a reduced first-year price, we used the regular price.
For example, BBC Tallinn charges from €800 for registration by power of attorney, with the state fee, the notary and the translation included, and €500 a year for the legal address with a contact person. That is €1,300 before VAT, of which €200 is the state fee. VAT of 24% on the other €1,100 is €264, so the total is €1,564.
We did not count certifying the power of attorney and getting an apostille in the founder’s own country, or courier costs, because they depend on the country. Running costs after registration, such as accounting and the annual report, are not part of the totals either; our guide to the cost of starting and running an Estonian company covers them.
How We Rated Price Clarity
We also rated each provider’s price clarity on a scale of 0 to 10. The rating covers only the provider’s page for the service, including its price table, tabs and FAQ, and judges how clearly that page shows the price, not the quality of the service or how high the price is. It asks five questions a buyer would ask before ordering, and each answer earns 0, 1 or 2 points:
| Criterion | 2 points | 1 point | 0 points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Route and price | The route is named with a fixed price (a “from” price in a heading is fine if a fixed price for the route follows on the page) | Only a “from” price, or the route is described without a price | No suitable route |
| State fee | Stated as included, or the amount to be added is given | Charged separately without an amount, or unclear which package it belongs to | Not mentioned |
| Estonian notary | Stated as included, or the amount is given | Charged separately without an amount, or only partly covered | Not mentioned |
| Legal address for the first year | Included for the year, or priced so that the year can be worked out | Offered, but the term, the price or whether it is included is unclear | Not mentioned |
| VAT | Total with VAT shown, a statement that no VAT is charged, or the rate stated for these services | “+ VAT” or “where applicable” without the rate | Not mentioned |
Provider-by-Provider Details
The tables below show what each provider’s price includes. Click a provider’s name in the notes under each table to see the details, our calculation and the points behind its price clarity rating. In the calculations, an amount such as “€930 (€750 + VAT)” means €750 plus 24% VAT.

Providers Not Included in the Tables

On the websites of these providers, we found only online registration, which needs an Estonian digital identity such as an e-Residency card.

Eesti Firma’s Packages for Registration Without e-Residency
We register companies for founders without e-Residency by either route. During a visit to Tallinn, the founder signs at a single notary appointment, for €850 + VAT; remotely, our lawyers sign at the notary in Tallinn on the founder’s behalf under a power of attorney, for €1,200 + VAT. Both full company formation packages include the state fee, the notary and a legal address with a contact person for the first year, and the remote package also covers the sworn translation of the power of attorney. Tell us which route suits you, and we will confirm the cost before you start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Registering an Estonian company without e-Residency costs about €1,720 by power of attorney and about €1,380 in person at a notary in Estonia. These are median first-year totals for a sole founder living in the EU, including VAT and a legal address, from our comparison of 20 providers in November 2026; totals range from €1,130 to €2,928 by power of attorney and from €882 to €2,074 in person.
€200. Through a notary, the state fee for a private limited company, or OÜ, is €200 under § 62(2) of the State Fees Act, while €265 is the fee for online registration, for example with an e-Residency card. Three of the 20 providers in our comparison quote €265 for registration through a notary as well.
The cheapest way is usually to register in person at a notary in Estonia, not counting the trip, because no power of attorney has to be prepared or translated. In our November 2026 comparison, 10 of the 11 providers that price both routes cost less for a visit, with a median saving of about €370, and Sowana had the lowest totals: €882 in person and €1,130 by power of attorney.
Two of the 20 providers in our comparison, Enty and Capture, have the power of attorney certified by a notary over a video call, so you do not need to visit a notary at home or arrange an apostille yourself; their first-year totals are €2,043 and €2,060. With the other 18 providers, you sign before a notary in your own country, and our guide to registering without e-Residency explains each step.
The final price is often higher because some advertised prices leave out first-year costs, most often the Estonian legal address, followed by the state fee, the notary’s fee and VAT. By power of attorney, the advertised price matched our total for only five of the 20 providers.
A legal address is not always included: 11 of the 20 power of attorney packages in our comparison leave it out for the first year, and bought separately it usually costs roughly €100–500 a year. The address can be abroad if the company has a contact person in Estonia, under § 24(2) of the Commercial Register Act, but founders who live abroad usually buy an Estonian legal address from a provider.
Disclaimer and Corrections
This comparison is based only on the prices and conditions that the providers publish on their own websites, as we checked them in November 2026. We read each page as an ordinary customer would: someone looking for a way to register a company in Estonia who goes from one provider’s website to the next, compares prices and sees only what those websites show. We did not request quotes, order services or ask the providers to explain their prices. A provider may therefore offer different terms on request, and prices and packages can change at any time.
The totals and ratings are our own calculations under the rules described on this page, not offers from the providers. Where a website gives no price for a cost, we used a standard amount and say so in the provider’s details. Eesti Firma is one of the providers compared, and we applied the same rules to our own prices. We did not assess the quality of any provider’s services: the price clarity rating reflects only how clearly the service page presents the price. Provider names are used only to identify the services compared. This page is general information, not legal or tax advice for a particular case.
If you represent one of the providers and find an inaccuracy, or think that we have misread your website, write to us. We will recheck the page and correct the comparison if we got something wrong.
