Hallo Sabina,

Danke für Deine E-Mail und ich habe gleich verstanden, dass ein Termin noch in dieser Woche zu finden, schwierig sein wird.

Ich bin nächster Woche unterwegs  - erst in Österreich und dann in Finland. Ich schlage vor, dass wir unser Intro in Dezember machen.

Doch kann ich gerne gleich einige Informationen teilen (auf Englisch, ich hoffe, dass es auch so passt):

First I am covering the topic of steps to take for establishing a company:

Holders of an Estonian ID card or e-Residency card and a growing number of EU member states’ ID cards can establish a Private Limited Company fully online. If an ID or e-Residency card is not available, a visit to a notary in Estonia is needed to verify the foundation documents.
Establishing a private limited company – as easy as ABC:

1. Choose a name for your business and check that it is available. To check the availability, use the free tool on the website of the e-Business Register.

2. If the management board of your Estonian company is located abroad, you will need a designated contact person in Estonia, as required by the Commercial Code. This service can be obtained from a virtual office service provider. Only a notary, notary’s office, advocate, law office, sworn auditor, audit firm or licensed trust and company service provider may be designated as your contact person. A reliable source for finding business service providers is the e-Residency Marketplace, where only companies with the necessary operating license are added. If one of the management board members, a partner, a shareholder or a procurator of your company resides in Estonia, this person may also be designated as a contact person.

3. Register the company online at the e-Business Register. You can pay the state fee (in most cases 265 €) and share capital (from 0.01 € per shareholder) when you submit your application.

4. Receive confirmation. Your submitted application will be reviewed in up to one working day and any notifications will be sent by e-mail.

5. If / when your company has employees, register the employees in the employment register on the website of the Tax and Customs Board.

6. If the area of activity is subject to special requirements, a license has to be acquired. Information on the areas of activity and electronic registration on the website of the Register of Economic Activities.

7. If needed, register the company as a VAT payer on the website of Tax and Customs Board.

Though the process is fairly simple, specialized service providers (private companies) can help you through the steps. If using e-Residency, read suggestions how to choose a service provider and what services they can help you with.

I contacted Terviseamet (Estonian Health Board) and recieved advice to forward You directy to them. Please contact Karl Kalev Türk [email protected] to arrage a meeting.

Some information in english can be found here: Contacts: Medical Devices | Government installation profile (terviseamet.ee). There is a Medical Device Act in English available.

If You have any other questions, please let me know and let’s arrange intro in December.

Best regards,
