Need to re-establish a company in Estonia?

Removal of a company from the Commercial Register, blocking of actions, failure to file annual reports or tax returns are common reasons why a business is “frozen”. However, the company may still have assets, contracts, liabilities and development plans.

Restoration of the company allows you to preserve the history of the legal entity, to continue working with the same registration number, as well as to avoid unnecessary complications when working with banks, partners and government agencies.

Do you need practical help and a clear plan of action?

Our team accompanies entrepreneurs at all stages of company recovery in Estonia. We deal with situations where the company:

deleted or to be deleted from the Commercial Register;
has not filed an annual report for a long time;
has “zero” activity but accumulated responsibilities;
needs to be legalized to a bank, payment system or investors.

The cost of company recovery services starts from 1350 euros and depends on the scope of work: the number of missed reporting periods, the presence of debts and the complexity of the situation. Leave a request and we will prepare a specific proposal for you.

What does a company recovery service include?

Usually the process consists of several blocks: analyzing the current status in the Commercial Register, restoring the accounts, settling issues with the Tax and Customs Department and legalizing the restoration of the company.

Analyzing the status of the company

We check the data in the Commercial Register, the presence of debts, unreported reports and restrictions. Based on the results, you get a clear picture and a step-by-step recovery plan.

Restoration of accounts

Prepare and file missing annual reports and, if necessary, correct previously filed documents to bring the company’s history into compliance.

Legal reinstatement in the registry

We prepare a package of documents for the Commercial Registry, accompany the filing and communication with the registry to legally restore the company.

Post-recovery support

We help establish regular reporting and corporate governance so that the company remains active and does not return to the “risky” group in the future.

When recovery is required
Risks if the company is not restored
How the process works

More often than not, recovery is needed if:

did not file annual reports for several years in a row;
there are restrictions/questions from the bank or payment system;
the company still has assets, receivables or existing contracts;
the sale of shares or attraction of investments is planned, and a “live” legal status is required.

We assess when it is advisable to restore and when it is faster and more profitable to register a new company.

Ignoring the status of the company and not filing accounts in Estonia may not only lead to the removal of the company from the Commercial Register, but also to additional risks for the owners and directors.

Among the major consequences:

removal of the company from the register and inability to legally continue operations;
problems in starting new companies in Estonia and other EU countries;
denial of service by banks and payment systems;
negative evaluation by partners and counterparties;
additional interest from regulatory authorities in future projects.

Timely recovery of the company allows minimizing these risks and keeping the situation manageable.

The process of company recovery depends on the specific situation, but in general terms involves several steps.

Consultation and analysis. We discuss your task, verify the company’s data in the Commercial Register and the Tax and Customs Department.
Plan and estimate. Determine what reports and documents need to be prepared, estimate time and cost.
Reporting preparation. We restore accounting records and file annual reports and necessary adjustments.
Legal actions. We prepare applications and petitions, submit documents to the Commercial Register (and, if necessary, to the court).
Confirmation of reinstatement. After making changes to the register, you receive up-to-date statements and can fully continue your activities.

We accompany you every step of the way and stay in touch until the process is complete.

Questions and answers

In what cases is it even possible to re-establish a company in Estonia?

The possibility of reinstatement depends on the reason for removal and the age of the event. In some cases, the company can be restored through an application to the Commercial Register or the court. In complex situations, we analyze the practice and propose alternatives (e.g. registration of a new company with transfer of activities).

How long does it take to rebuild a company?

The time period depends on the volume of missing reports and the workload of state authorities. In simple cases, the basic stage may take from a few weeks, in more complex cases – several months. During a consultation, we will be able to give a rough estimate of the timeframe for your situation.

Is it necessary to restore reporting if the company did not actually work?

Yes. Even if there is no turnover, the obligation to file annual reports remains. In such cases, “zero” reports are filed, but the procedure and scope of work depend on the period of inactivity of the company.

What to do if a company has debts or fines?

The existence of debts does not preclude recovery, but requires a separate analysis. We verify information on debts, help to build a repayment plan and, if necessary, communicate with the Tax and Customs Board and other authorities.

Can a company be reconstituted if all directors are non-residents of Estonia?

Yes, it is possible. In this case, an electronic signature (e-Residency, ID-card, Mobiil-ID) or alternative methods of signing documents and submitting applications are used. We select a convenient option based on the status of the company’s participants.

How do banks and payment processors treat recovered companies?

With proper legal formalities and restored reporting, the restored company is perceived as a valid legal entity. A transparent history, a clear ownership structure and compliance with compliance requirements are important.

Which is more profitable: restoring an old company or registering a new one?

Depends on your goals. If your company’s history, contracts, licenses, accounts and reputation are important, rebuilding is often smarter. In other cases, it is faster and cheaper to start a new company. We consider both scenarios and suggest the best one.

Is it possible to do the remediation on your own?

Yes, in theory you can prepare the accounts and documents for the Commercial Register yourself. In practice, entrepreneurs more often engage specialists in order to avoid making mistakes and stretching out the process over months.

How much does it cost to rebuild a company?

The basic cost of our recovery services starts at 350 euros. The final price depends on the number of unsubmitted reports, the presence of debts, the need for legal procedures and other factors. After an initial consultation, you will receive a specific cost proposal.

Where do I start if I want to rebuild my company?

Start with a short consultation: tell us when the company was registered and deleted, whether it was active and whether there is access to documents. We will check the information against the registers and offer a step-by-step recovery plan.
