Different forms of business entities in Estonia
According to the Estonian Commercial Code there are five forms of business entities: a private limited company, a public limited company, a general partnership, a limited partnership and a commercial association. The most popular type of legal entity being set up by foreigners in Estonia is a private limited company (in Estonian "Osaühing” or “OÜ").
A private limited company (PLC) is the most common form of business in Estonia
A private limited company (hereinafter the "PLC") is a company that has the share capital divided into private limited company shares. A shareholder is not personally liable for the obligations of the company. The minimum share capital is EUR 2,500. The minimum nominal value of a share is EUR 1. If the founders are individuals and the share capital is less than EUR 25,000, then the founders can decide that the contribution must not be paid upon the establishing of the company.
PLC must have a management board. The management board may have one member (director) or several members. A member of the management board need not be a shareholder but must be an individual (not legal entity).
