Incorporation of a company in Latvia with 1 EUR share capital

Incorporation of a company in Latvia with 1 EUR share capital


According to the World Bank's (WB) Doing Business 2017 rating, Latvia recently has risen from 22nd place to 14th by improving its business regulations as it was captured by the Doing Business indexes. In the past year substantive improvements were implemented in such areas as credit information access, less complicated paying taxes procedure, online systems optimization for filing labor contributions and tax returns.

Following mentioned reforms, opening a Latvian company has become easier than in the past few years and even decades. A traditional Limited Liability Company (LLC or SIA in Latvian) remains the most widely used company format for businesses of small and medium scale. Of course, there are more options available when it comes to company incorporation in Latvia – Individual Merchant (or Sole Trader ST), Joint-Stock Company (JSC), Legal Partnerships and Branch or Representative Offices. However, LLC takes the lead due to several rather convenient advantages it offers to Latvian businessmen.

As it is well known, LLC companies' incorporation usually requires a share capital which can be divided into shares which belong to shareholders who have no legal liabilities for the company's obligations because a company is liable for its obligations with its total assets. Usually a Latvian LLC must have share capital which varies from 1 up to 2,800 euros, meaning that minimum share capital for company incorporation can be only 1 euro (€). This type of a company is becoming more and more popular today as it is perfect way of doing business in Latvia with minimum investment. There are also several obligatory requirements for such company format.

Italy: Firms shake lockdown using shortcut in coronavirus law

Italy: Firms shake lockdown using shortcut in coronavirus law The government last week extended non-essential business closures to May 3. But more than 100,000 mainly small- and medium-sized companies have applied to keep going or partially reopen. In principle, a key hurdle for companies to do business should be that they can prove they are part of a supply chain to businesses that are deemed “essential” in a government decree, such as food, energy or pharmaceutical companies. But the government, facing a backlog of applications, has clarified Italy’s lockdown laws to say no companies need to wait for government approval to go ahead. More than 105,000 firms have applied to be considered part of essential supply chains, the interior minister said on Wednesday, in a guideline on its website to clarify the lockdown rules. Of those, just over 2,000 have been turned down and told to suspend their business. More than 38,000 are being investigated and the rest are waiting to be...

German government overreacted on COVID-19

German government overreacted on COVID-19 Christian Drosten, director of Berlin's Institute of Virology at the Charité Hospital, spoke to The Guardian on Sunday, days after the country began lifting some lockdown restrictions. Germany's lockdown started to lift on April 20, with the opening of smaller businesses like car dealerships, bike shops, and book stores. The country plans to start reopening schools on May 4. Drosten said he felt like the government was being pressured to reopen, and that he feared that a blasé attitude toward the relatively tame outbreak in Germany could lead to a new burst of infections.  The basic reproduction number, also known as R0, represents the average number of people a single patient is expected to infect and is a key figure to measuring countries' outbreak.

Volkswagen factory just reopened

Volkswagen factory just reopened The world's largest carmaker has made 100 changes to the way its plants operate as it tries to restart business without risking the health of hundreds of thousands of workers. Its experience underscores the daunting task ahead for manufacturers as they resume work in a world still reeling from the pandemic. "We have never developed, produced and sold vehicles under these conditions before," said Bernd Osterloh, the top labor representative at Volkswagen (VLKAF). The gigantic Wolfsburg plant is located on the banks of an equally impressive feat of human engineering, the 200-mile long Mittelland Canal connecting sea and inland ports in Europe. Originally built in 1938 to house workers for Volkswagen's factories, Wolfsburg is still home to the group's headquarters and has produced more than 45 million cars since 1945. It's where the iconic Beetle was produced for more than three decades and where the automaker's be...
