Company Registration in Lithuania
Compare
Most clients don't know that an MB can often be a better option. Here's a simple comparison of the two main company types in Lithuania.
Can convert to UAB later
Company Type
MB (Small Partnership) is a type of small business entity in Lithuania, designed for individuals or a small group of owners who want to run a company with low startup requirements and flexible management.
It is especially popular among freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small online businesses.
Compared to a UAB, an MB is simpler to manage and has fewer administrative requirements — a strong choice for those who want to start quickly and efficiently. If your business grows, an MB can later be converted into a UAB.
Company Type
UAB is a private limited liability company in Lithuania, designed for businesses that plan to grow, scale, or attract investment. It is the most common company type for more structured operations and is widely used by both local and international entrepreneurs.
Compared to an MB, a UAB is more suitable for businesses planning long-term growth, external investment, or a more traditional corporate structure.
Process
To ensure a smooth and fast company formation process in Lithuania, we only require a few essential details from your side. Once provided, we take care of everything else.
Banking
Opening a business bank account is a straightforward step once your company has been fully registered. We support both digital and traditional banking routes depending on your needs.
VAT Registration
Registering for VAT in Lithuania is a strategic step for businesses looking to operate within the European Union. Whether you are involved in e-commerce, importing goods, or providing cross-border services, obtaining a Lithuanian VAT number allows you to legally and efficiently access the EU market.
We provide a fully managed VAT registration service, handling the entire process on your behalf — from preparing all required documentation to submitting your application and communicating with the Lithuanian tax authorities.
Lithuania is known for its efficient and business-friendly tax environment, making it an ideal jurisdiction for international companies. Once approved, your VAT number enables you to trade across EU countries, optimize your operations, and meet all regulatory requirements.
Lithuanian Tax System
Lithuania offers one of the most competitive corporate tax systems in Europe, especially for small and newly established businesses. Depending on your company's size, structure, and activity, you may benefit from reduced — or even 0% — corporate income tax in the early stages.
Important to Know
Corporate income tax in Lithuania is applied only to profit, not total revenue — meaning you are taxed only on what remains after deducting business expenses. Additionally, depending on your business model, other obligations such as VAT (21%) or dividend taxation may apply, but these can be optimized with proper structuring.
Accounting Services
Starting a company is just the first step — proper accounting is what keeps your business compliant and running smoothly. In Lithuania, companies are required to maintain accurate financial records, submit VAT declarations (if registered), and file annual reports.
We take care of everything for you. From monthly VAT declarations to annual financial reports, our team handles all accounting processes so you can focus on growing your business — without worrying about paperwork, deadlines, or compliance.
You won't need to deal with anything yourself — we manage the entire process from start to finish, ensuring everything is done correctly and on time.
Our accounting services for small companies start from €100/month, and this already includes:

Immigration
Lithuania can offer a pathway to a Temporary Residence Permit through business activity, but immigration requirements are significantly stricter than company formation requirements. In practice, a standard MB is usually not sufficient for immigration purposes.
Every residence permit case is assessed individually. We recommend a separate consultation before relying on a company setup for immigration planning.

FAQ
Everything you need to know about forming a company in Lithuania.
An MB (Small Partnership) can be registered with as little as €1 capital, has a simpler structure, and does not require a director, making it ideal for small businesses and freelancers. A UAB (Private Limited Company) requires at least €1,000 share capital, must appoint a director (the owner can also be the director), and is better suited for larger businesses or those planning to scale.
