How it works

From shortlist to registered company

  1. Shortlist

    The quiz narrows the jurisdictions to two or three that fit where you live and what you do.

  2. Check the rules

    Each guide lists what the registry requires, what it costs and the mistakes that cause refusals.

  3. Get introduced

    Send one request and a licensed provider for that jurisdiction contacts you. We never file on your behalf.

Anywhere in the world

Any country. One request.

The comparison covers 84 jurisdictions in depth, but the request works for any country. Tell us where you want the company and what it will do; with your consent we pass the request to one licensed provider there, and they reply with options and prices.

FAQ · 5 questions

Frequently asked questions

There is no single best country: it depends on where you live, what the company does and who your customers are. Use the five-question quiz to shortlist two or three jurisdictions, then compare fees, timelines and director rules in the table.

In 29 of the 84 jurisdictions we compare, registration can be done online without a visit. Where a notary or lawyer must act, a licensed provider arranges it.

No. We compare jurisdictions using official registry and tax authority sources and, if you ask, pass your request to a licensed provider or partner. Legal and tax advice comes from them, not from us.

Yes. The comparison covers the listed jurisdictions in depth, but the request form works for any country. Tell us where you want the company and what it will do, and we introduce you to a licensed provider there — with your consent, free for you.

Every requirement is checked against the official registry or tax authority, and each page shows the date of the check. We review the data every quarter and whenever a registry changes its fees.
