Registering a company in Luxembourg involves preparing and submitting a set of essential documents, depending on the chosen legal structure—most commonly a Société à Responsabilité Limitée (SARL) or private limited liability company. The process of
company formation in Luxembourg is structured to ensure transparency and legal compliance.
The first step is drafting the Articles of Association, which must be notarized by a Luxembourg notary. These articles define the company’s purpose, share capital, governance, and registered office. In addition, a founding deed or incorporation agreement signed by all shareholders is required.
You'll also need to provide proof of identity for all shareholders and directors, such as a valid passport or national ID. If any shareholder is a legal entity, a recent certificate of incorporation and the articles of association of that company must be submitted.
A bank certificate confirming the deposit of the minimum share capital (at least €12,000 for a SARL) into a Luxembourg bank account is mandatory before notarization.
Once all documents are ready, the company must be registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register (RCSL). Additionally, a business permit (autorisation d’établissement) may be required, depending on business activities.
After registration and approvals, your company formation in Luxembourg is complete, and operations can begin.
