The owners and management
Where do the owners live, which citizenships and tax residences do they hold, and where are company decisions made? Explain changes of residence rather than assuming that travel removes a tax connection.
Company formation locations
Explore 21 jurisdictions for international companies and partnerships. Find a structure that fits your activity, ownership and plans for the years ahead.

Company rules, bank requirements and annual costs differ by location.
Tell us where you are based, who your customers are and how you expect to receive payments. We use those facts to discuss the formation route, banking preparation and administration each company will need.
Discuss my company structureNorth America
Explore U.S. company structures and a Canadian partnership route. Start with where the owners work, how the company will trade and the banking arrangements it needs.
Europe
Compare companies and partnerships across Europe. Ownership, management, local administration and the obligations where you live all belong in the decision.
Asia and the Middle East
Hong Kong, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates offer different routes. Your activity, trading relationships and plans for a local presence help narrow the choice.
International centres
Consider these jurisdictions against a defined business purpose. Discuss the company records, recurring administration and institution requirements before registering.
Banking requirements before incorporation.
Use the jurisdiction shortlist after mapping your residence, actual management, customer countries and supplier payments. A global business needs a coherent explanation of those connections; no destination solves all of them by default.
Aleksandar Dobromirov and the advisory team.
Aleksandar Dobromirov, CEO of Euro Commerce LLC, works with a team of lawyers and accountants on company structures and the administration that follows. His more than 30 years in business span international trade, representation, construction, marketing and management, as well as corporate, investment and holding structures. We bring the owners, customers, suppliers and activity into the same discussion before choosing where to register.
Company management and your tax residence.
If you move between countries, start by establishing your personal tax residence and where the company is really managed. An address from a formation package cannot answer either question. Banking, CRS and FATCA documentation must reflect the underlying facts.
Customers and incoming payments
Identify customer countries, contracts, currencies and expected volumes. A provider needs to understand the source of the money, not just see a registration certificate.
Suppliers and outgoing payments
Map contractors, stock purchases and service providers, including the countries receiving funds. These flows should fit the activity described in the application.
The activity itself
A consultancy, a trading company and a regulated financial business face different acceptance rules. Check whether the institution supports the model before paying to incorporate.

Requirements depend on your circumstances. Check the original rules and agree the scope before proceeding.
Before you choose a jurisdiction.
Where should I register my company?
Begin with your activity, the owners’ residence, where the work happens and the payments you need to receive. We can compare the jurisdictions against those facts, including the local services and recurring costs each route involves.
Can I run the company from another country?
That needs a review of where the company is managed and where its owners work. Registering abroad does not remove home-country obligations. An appropriately qualified adviser should assess the tax position of the company and its owners.
Should banking be considered before formation?
Yes. Check whether your intended institutions support the owners, activity, jurisdiction and countries involved before incorporating. Their final acceptance decision still depends on the application.
Can you help compare two jurisdictions?
Send the business activity, owner residence and customer countries, together with the options you are considering. Explain what attracts you to each so the discussion can focus on your actual decision.
Discuss the locations you are considering.
The lowest filing fee will not tell you which company can support your contracts and payments. Share your activity, where the owners work, and your customer and supplier countries. We can discuss which options deserve further review and what their setup and annual support would involve.
