Latvia is one of the Baltic States that is rapidly growing and offers a number of opportunities for investments. The country has a stable economy and good financial infrastructure. Local entrepreneurs pay comparatively low taxes and can operate a company easily. If you think about this jurisdiction as your target one, this overview may facilitate while making your choice.

Forms of Legal and Business Presence

If you intend to establish your presence in Latvia, it is easy to accomplish that in one of these forms:

  • Limited Liability Company – a vehicle where the liability of founders (shareholders) is limited to the value of the investments made. The statutory capital of this entity should be at least EUR 2,800 and 50 % of which should be paid at the time of establishing.
  • Joint-Stock Company – a more advanced vehicle designated mainly for involving funding and entering the stock markets. The share of this entity can be freely transferred. The minimum statutory capital of this vehicle constitutes EUR 35,000.
  • General Partnership – a formation that is not an entity and can be formed by at least two persons who bear the entire and joint liability for all partnership’s undertakings.
  • Limited Partnership – like the previous one formation, this type of a partnership is not a legal entity and can be formed by (i) at least one partner who bears the unlimited liability for the results of the joint commercial activity and (ii) at least one partner whose liability is restricted to the amount of the contribution made.
  • Branch – this commercial formation of a foreign company performs the same types of activities. Registration is required in this case.
  • Representative Office – this formation does not have a separate legal personality and is not able to conduct business in Latvia. It is designated mainly to explore local commercial opportunities and promote a non-resident entity in Latvia.

Collaborated with the company for 3 years. I can’t say that everything was smooth from the point of view of organizing the work; there was confusion in the structure of the work, etc. But I’ll specifically highlight employee Lyubov Malinowski, she very diligently corrected all errors and was in touch at the right time, her help was significant in all processes and she approached all issues precisely. I would like to separately highlight the moment when she solved the problem at her own expense, which speaks of the person’s professionalism and increased responsibility.

As a software development crew at FewMoreTaps OÜ, we've had the pleasure of working with Prifinance on some key financial moves.First of all, navigating the world of corporate banking and finance can be a maze, but Prifinance made it feel like a walk in the park. They helped us set up a corporate bank account without the hassle of jumping on a plane or drowning in paperwork. Everything was done remotely, smoothly and securely.But that's not all. We had a slightly time-sensitive situation when it came to changing the beneficiary details on our account. Prifinance stepped up to the plate and handled everything quickly and professionally.It's not just about getting the job done. It's about how Prifinance does it. They're all about making complex financial matters simple and accessible for companies like ours. Plus, their team, especially Liubov Malinowski, has been nothing short of fantastic to work with - professional, timely and always on the ball.In short, FewMoreTaps OÜ wholeheartedly endorses Prifinance OÜ. Whether it's opening bank accounts remotely or navigating the financial legalities of running an international business, these guys have got your back. A big thank you to the entire Prifinance team for their first class support and expertise.Here's to more collaborations in the future!Best,Kiryl Nest

I'm thrilled with my experience with PriFinance! They helped me obtain a crypto license in Estonia without any hassle. The team was super understanding and always available to answer my questions and assist. It was great to see how they put effort into preparing the documents to ensure everything went smoothly. I'm delighted with the outcome and highly recommend PriFinance to anyone looking to get a license stress-free!
Opening an account with Prifinance in a Swiss bank was such an easy and quick process that I was shocked. It all started with the first call, where I received detailed guidance on the required documents and the entire procedure.One of the key highlights was their attention to detail. As someone who usually gets tangled up in paperwork, I was pleasantly surprised when they sent me all the documents and instructions clearly and neatly. No misunderstandings!Honestly, I expected opening a Swiss bank account to be complex and time-consuming, but thanks to Prifinance, I felt like a professional financial expert. Thank you for making this process so easy and enjoyable!
