Every country requires an official address for a company. In Estonia, this means obtaining either a legal address or a contact person service from licensed service providers. Both services are administrative and do not grant any right to act on behalf of your company. These service providers are also here to help you every step of the way with additional services, including registering the company, accounting, tax consultation, and more.
