Read the FAQWhat's included
From your first message until your company is registered.
Sign online, no notary
You sign with a qualified electronic signature. We prepare the documents and check the details with you.
We handle the registration
We submit your SIA to the Register of Enterprises and handle all communication with it, including any follow-up questions. You give us the information and sign what we prepare.
Bank account guidance
We advise on which bank to approach and how to talk to it. The bank opens the account, and only the bank decides.
VAT and accounting, if you want them
Once your company is registered, our own accounting service, Balansis, can handle VAT registration and keep its books. It is a separate, optional service.
How it works
You don't need to be in Latvia for most of it.
Message us
Tell us about your company and who the owners are. We confirm in writing what we need and what it will cost.
We prepare your documents
We run our identity and compliance checks and draft everything. We quote up to two working days for this.
Sign and open the bank account
You sign online. You then open a temporary bank account for the share capital, with our guidance.
We register your SIA
Once the capital is paid in, we submit your application to the Register of Enterprises and deal with it from there.
These four steps group the six stages of the full process. In total, checks and documents take a few working days. The bank account usually takes one to two weeks and up to three weeks in cases we have seen; the bank's own checks (the dashed step) are the biggest unknown and we cannot speed it up. The Register then takes three business days (one business day for a higher state fee), and can take longer if it has questions. We never promise a fixed total time.

Short, straight answers. The full list covers signing, the bank account and timing in more detail.
All questions and answersDo I need to travel to Latvia?
Not to form the company. Documents are signed online with a qualified electronic signature, so there is no notary visit. The bank is a separate step: it runs its own identity checks when it opens your company account, and we guide you through what to expect.
Is Start in Latvia a government service?
No. Start in Latvia is a private service run by SIA Wonderstore, and we are not affiliated with any government institution, including the state initiatives with similar names. We help foreign founders form a Latvian company and we say so plainly. More about who we are.
Who does the accounting after my company is formed?
Accounting is a separate, optional service. If you want it, Balansis, our own accounting service run by the same company, SIA Wonderstore, can take over once your company is formed, so you are not handed to a separate partner. Ask us in writing what that covers for your situation. Balansis.
Which countries do you work with?
By default we work with founders from the 31 EEA countries and Switzerland, because a qualified electronic signature is readily available there. Other countries are possible case by case, for example through a national certificate you already hold or a different signing provider. Message us your country and we will tell you in writing whether it works.
Can I speak to someone by phone?
No. We keep everything in writing, in English, so you always have a record of what was agreed. WhatsApp is the quickest way to reach us, and email works too. Send us a message with who the owners will be and where they live, and we will reply with what we need from you and what it will cost.
