We provide four categories of business service for companies operating in Lithuania: company incorporation, corporate services, accounting and tax compliance, and legal services — all under one engagement, coordinated by a single point of contact.
Every service is available in English, delivered by professionals who understand both Lithuanian law and the practical requirements of international businesses setting up or operating in the country.
Company incorporation covers the full range of registration methods — in-person, by power of attorney, subsidiary and branch registration, and purchase of a ready-made company — with timelines from 1–3 business days.
Accounting services cover the complete compliance cycle from day-to-day bookkeeping to annual financial statements, including specialist services for crypto companies and firms undergoing liquidation.
Legal services span corporate, contract, employment, immigration, tax, and compliance law — available as fixed-fee engagements, ongoing retainers, or project-based advisory.
Short answer
Our business services cover everything a company needs to set up and operate in Lithuania: registering the legal entity, keeping it compliant (accounting, payroll, tax filings), providing the corporate infrastructure it needs to function (registered address, bank account, corporate documents), and advising on the legal matters that arise in day-to-day operations (contracts, employment, corporate governance, immigration). All services are provided in English by professionals who work exclusively with Lithuanian and internationally-owned businesses.
Our Service Areas
Select the service area that matches your need. Each area has dedicated supporting pages with full details, document checklists, process steps, and fixed-fee pricing.
Registering a Lithuanian company is fast — most UABs can be incorporated in 1–3 business days. What takes time is ensuring the entity is structured correctly: the right entity type, the right share capital structure, the right governance framework, and the right documentation for the founders' circumstances. We manage the complete registration process for all four incorporation routes, including remote registration by power of attorney for founders who cannot travel to Lithuania.
A registered company needs infrastructure to function: a legal registered address, a bank account, corporate documents prepared correctly for Lithuanian law, and — for companies without a local presence — a local director or corporate secretary who can handle day-to-day administrative matters. We provide the full suite of corporate support services for Lithuanian companies owned by foreign investors and international businesses.
Corporate documents — articles of association, shareholder resolutions, board minutes, and JAR filings
Recruitment services — finding and placing Lithuanian-based employees for international companies
JADIS system — submission and maintenance of shareholder and participant information in the Information System of Participants in Legal Entities (JADIS). The Register of Legal Entities (JAR) is a separate register maintained by the Lithuanian Centre of Registers. Ultimate beneficial ownership information is submitted through JANGIS, a subsystem of JADIS. Each system has distinct reporting requirements.
Director services — providing a local director for companies that need a Lithuanian-resident management presence
Accounting compliance in Lithuania includes bookkeeping under the applicable Lithuanian Financial Accounting Standards or IFRS, VAT reporting where required, payroll and Sodra declarations, annual financial statements and Corporate Income Tax returns. Advance CIT declarations and quarterly payments apply only where the company meets the relevant statutory conditions. VAT reporting frequency depends on the company's registration status and applicable reporting rules. We provide accounting services on a fixed monthly retainer based on the company's transaction volume, activities and complexity, including specialist support for crypto-asset businesses, holding structures and companies undergoing liquidation.
Bookkeeping — monthly transaction recording under VAS; bank reconciliation; accounts payable and receivable
Accounting for crypto companies — specialist accounting for crypto-asset businesses under Lithuanian and IFRS standards
Liquidation services — accounting support during voluntary company winding-up
Financial reporting — management accounts and group consolidation reporting for foreign parent companies
Annual report — preparation and filing of the statutory annual financial statements with the Centre of Registers
Tax compliance and VAT services — VAT return preparation and filing; VMI correspondence; tax planning advisory
Outsourced accounting — fully outsourced finance function for companies without an in-house accountant
Legal services for businesses in Lithuania span the full range of corporate and commercial law — from drafting the contracts that govern commercial relationships to advising on corporate restructuring, employment disputes, immigration for non-EU staff, and regulatory compliance. We provide legal services at fixed fees for defined engagements and on retainer for ongoing advisory, in English, by lawyers who understand both Lithuanian law and how international businesses operate.
Contract law — drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts; NDA; service agreements; supply contracts
Immigration law — employment-based temporary residence permits, EU Blue Card applications, residence permits for innovative startup founders, residence permits based on qualifying business activities, family reunification and work permits where specifically required by Lithuanian law. Since 1 July 2024, a separate work permit has not been the standard immigration route for ordinary employment by third-country nationals in Lithuania.
Tax law — tax structure advisory; VMI correspondence; transfer pricing documentation; tax dispute support
Most international businesses entering Lithuania work with three or four separate providers — a law firm for incorporation, an accountant for compliance, a separate firm for HR or immigration, and perhaps a corporate services company for the registered address. Each provider knows their part of the picture but not the whole. The result is coordination gaps: the accountant does not know what the company’s corporate structure looks like; the lawyer does not know what the accounting treatment of a transaction will be; the corporate services company does not know whether the employment contracts are in order.
We cover all four service areas from a single team with a single point of contact. When a company registers through us and takes accounting and legal services alongside, the same team that set up the entity knows the corporate structure, the shareholder arrangements, the intercompany transaction profile, and the employment framework. There is no re-briefing, no coordination gap, and no risk of advice from one provider conflicting with advice from another.
Coordination that matters in practice
The coordination benefit is most visible at three moments: at setup (the incorporation, the bank account, the first employment contracts, and the accounting system all need to be aligned from day one — a mismatch here creates work to fix later); at the annual reporting cycle (the accountant, the corporate secretary, and the legal team need to work together to produce the annual report, the dividend declaration, and the shareholder meeting documentation); and at significant events (a new investor, a restructuring, a regulatory query, or a dispute — all require the legal, accounting, and corporate context to be understood simultaneously).

The Typical Setup Journey for a New Business in Lithuania
For businesses entering Lithuania for the first time, the services required follow a logical sequence. Understanding the sequence — and the dependencies between steps — prevents the most common delays at setup.
Step
Service
What Happens
Typical Timeline
1
Company Incorporation
UAB registered with Centre of Registers (JAR); articles of association filed; share capital paid
1–3 business days
2
Virtual Office / Registered Address
Legal registered address confirmed before or at incorporation
Same day
3
Bank Account Opening
Assistance with opening the company’s operational bank or payment account, subject to the provider’s KYC and onboarding requirements. For a newly incorporated Lithuanian UAB, the initial share capital of at least EUR 1,000 must generally be paid into an accumulation account before incorporation, rather than deposited for the first time after registration.
The timeline depends on the account provider and the documentation required.
4
Accounting Setup
Accounting retainer begins; chart of accounts configured; VAT registration if needed
Week 1–2 after incorporation
5
Employment Contracts
First employment contracts prepared; employees registered with SoDra
Before first employee starts
6
Licences / Permits (if applicable)
Sector-specific licences applied for in parallel with incorporation where possible
Variable by licence type
7
Annual Compliance Cycle
Bookkeeping and periodic tax reporting as applicable; advance Corporate Income Tax calculations and payments only where required; preparation and approval of annual financial statements; statutory filing with the Register of Legal Entities; annual Corporate Income Tax return and required shareholder decisions
Ongoing
Start with incorporation — not with licences
Businesses entering regulated sectors in Lithuania should determine the applicable licensing requirements before commencing operations. The eligibility criteria differ according to the regulated activity. Certain licences require an established legal entity, while other permits may be available to natural persons, individual entrepreneurs, foreign companies or registered branches. Incorporation of a Lithuanian company is therefore not a universal prerequisite for every licence. We assess the proposed activities and licensing requirements, determine the appropriate legal structure and coordinate incorporation and authorisation procedures in the correct statutory sequence.

Frequently Asked Questions
All four service areas are designed to work together and we recommend using them as an integrated engagement for a new business setup. In practice, most clients begin with incorporation, add the accounting retainer immediately after, and engage legal services as specific needs arise. Corporate services — registered address, bank account assistance, corporate documents — are typically set up at the incorporation stage. There is no requirement to use all areas simultaneously, and each area is available independently if you have existing providers for the others.
We serve both. While a significant part of our client base is foreign-owned Lithuanian companies and international businesses establishing a Lithuanian presence, we also provide accounting, legal, and corporate services to Lithuanian-owned companies. The services on this page — particularly accounting, payroll, legal advisory, and corporate services — are equally relevant to Lithuanian-founded businesses that want professional support without an in-house finance or legal team.
The legal entity can be registered in 1–3 business days. Full operational readiness — registered address confirmed, bank account open, accounting retainer live, VAT registration submitted, first employment contracts in place — typically takes 2–4 weeks from the start of the process. The main variable is bank account opening, which depends on the bank’s internal onboarding timeline. We manage all workstreams in parallel to minimise the total time to operational readiness.
Yes. All services are provided in English — documentation, correspondence, management reports, and advisory. Where Lithuanian versions of documents are required by law (certain employment contracts, filings with Lithuanian authorities, court documents), we provide the Lithuanian version alongside the English version. All client communication is in English as standard.
Yes — all services are available as one-off fixed-fee engagements. You can instruct us to prepare a single employment contract, manage a single VAT registration, or assist with a specific permit application without committing to an ongoing retainer. For recurring needs — monthly accounting, payroll, ongoing legal advisory — a retainer is more cost-efficient and ensures continuity. We advise on the most appropriate engagement structure at the initial call.
No. We work with pre-revenue startups, early-stage companies, established SMEs, and subsidiaries of large international groups. The services are priced to be appropriate across these different stages — a pre-revenue startup does not need the same accounting scope as a 50-person company, and our retainer pricing reflects this. We confirm scope and pricing at the initial assessment for each engagement.
The supporting pages for each service area cover the most common services in that area in detail. For services not explicitly listed — unusual corporate structures, highly specialised legal matters, specific regulatory filings — we assess the requirement at the initial consultation and either handle it directly or refer it to a specialist with whom we work. We do not decline engagements because they are unusual; we assess each one and confirm whether and how we can help.
Ready to get started?
Contact us to discuss your business situation and immediate priorities. We will confirm the most efficient setup sequence, provide fixed-fee quotes for the services you need, and can begin within 24 hours of your instruction. Company registration can be completed within 1–3 business days; accounting and corporate services begin in parallel.
