Buying a Company in Lithuania
Written by: Domantas
Business Formation Expert
Starting a business in Lithuania does not always require registering a new company. Many entrepreneurs choose to purchase an existing company instead, particularly when speed is important or when they want to acquire a business that already has a certain history, VAT registration, licenses, or established operations.
Buying a company can be a practical solution for both local and foreign entrepreneurs looking to begin trading quickly. However, before making a purchase, it is important to understand what types of companies are available, how the acquisition process works, and what should be checked before taking ownership.
Available Companies for Sale
We regularly offer a selection of Lithuanian companies available for immediate transfer.
Some of these companies are newly established shelf companies that have never carried out any business activities. These companies are created specifically for future sale and are often preferred by entrepreneurs who want to avoid the waiting time associated with company formation. Since they have no trading history, they generally do not have debts, contractual obligations, or other liabilities.

Purchasing a Private Limited Liability Company (UAB)
The Private Limited Liability Company (UAB) remains the most widely used business structure in Lithuania and is suitable for both local and international entrepreneurs.
A UAB provides a professional corporate structure that can be used for a broad range of commercial activities, from consulting and e-commerce to manufacturing, logistics, and international trade. Because of its flexibility and credibility, it is often the preferred choice for businesses planning long-term growth.
The companies available for purchase already meet the minimum share capital requirement of EUR 1,000 and are fully registered with the Lithuanian authorities. In many cases, they also include an active business address and an existing corporate bank account, making the transition to the new owner even smoother.
For buyers seeking a quick entry into the Lithuanian and European markets, acquiring an existing UAB can significantly reduce preparation time while providing all the advantages of a fully established legal entity.
Purchasing a Small Partnership (MB)
A Small Partnership (MB) is another popular business structure in Lithuania, particularly among entrepreneurs launching smaller ventures or operating as founders without large initial investments.
Unlike a UAB, an MB does not require minimum share capital, which makes it an accessible option for many first-time business owners. The structure is commonly chosen by freelancers, consultants, online businesses, and service providers looking for a simple and cost-effective way to operate.
Purchasing an existing MB follows a similar process to acquiring a UAB. Ownership is transferred to the new member or members, and any necessary updates are registered with the relevant authorities. Because the companies available for sale are newly established and inactive, buyers can begin operating without concerns about previous business activities or liabilities.
As the business grows, an MB can later be reorganized into a UAB if a different corporate structure becomes more suitable.
Documents Required to Purchase a Company
The company acquisition process is relatively straightforward and can often be completed remotely.
To prepare the transfer documents, we typically require a copy of the passport or national identity card of the future shareholder, together with their residential address and contact information. If different individuals will act as shareholder and director, information for both parties will be needed.
Once the required details are provided, our team prepares the necessary transfer documentation, coordinates the registration procedures, and guides you through each stage of the transaction. We also assist with the preparation of documents required by the Register Centre, banks, and other institutions where applicable.
Our goal is to make the purchase process as simple and efficient as possible, allowing you to focus on your business while we handle the administrative formalities.
Professional Assistance Throughout the Entire Process
Purchasing a company in Lithuania should be straightforward, transparent, and secure. Our specialists assist clients throughout the entire process, from selecting a suitable company to completing the ownership transfer and registering any necessary changes after acquisition.
Whether you are looking for a ready-made UAB, an MB, or a company with specific characteristics, we help ensure that the transaction is completed efficiently and in full compliance with Lithuanian regulations. By choosing a company that is already established and ready for transfer, you can begin your business activities considerably faster and focus on developing your operations from day one.
Can Foreigners Buy a Lithuanian Company?
Yes. Lithuania allows foreign individuals and foreign legal entities to own Lithuanian companies.
There are no requirements for shareholders to be Lithuanian citizens or residents. Entrepreneurs from both European Union and non-European Union countries regularly acquire Lithuanian companies and use them for a wide range of international business activities.
Because Lithuania is a member of the European Union, many foreign entrepreneurs view a Lithuanian company as an effective gateway to the broader European market.
What Happens After the Acquisition?
Once the company has been transferred, the new owner gains full control over its operations.
At this stage, it is common to update internal company records, appoint new management, organise accounting services, establish banking arrangements, and ensure that all registrations remain accurate.
For many buyers, this is also the point where the company begins actively trading under its new ownership.
Conclusion
Buying a company in Lithuania can be an efficient way to establish a presence in the European market without going through the full company formation process. Whether you are looking for a ready-made shelf company, a VAT-registered company, or an established business with existing operations, careful due diligence and professional guidance remain essential.
When structured correctly, purchasing a Lithuanian company can provide a fast and reliable path to starting business activities while avoiding many of the delays associated with creating a new legal entity from scratch.
