Public Institution (VšĮ) Registration in Lithuania
A public institution (viešoji įstaiga, VšĮ) is a non-profit legal entity with limited liability that carries out activities of public interest: education, culture, science, health care, social services, sport, environmental protection and similar. A VšĮ may carry out economic activities, but its profit cannot be distributed to the founders – it is used only for the goals set in its articles of association. Company in Lithuania UAB team will help you register a VšĮ in Lithuania quickly and in full compliance with the Law on Public Institutions.
