The Principality of Liechtenstein is a state in western Central Europe that borders Austria and Switzerland. Its capital is the city of Vaduz.
Liechtenstein is considered one of the smallest countries in Europe. A stable political and economic system, favorable investment conditions, and tax incentives attract foreign investors and make Liechtenstein one of Europe's financial centers.
Maira Consult recommends using companies registered in Liechtenstein for asset management, investment activities, international trade, as well as holding companies and family trusts.
Liechtenstein has officially abandoned banking secrecy and joined the automatic exchange of tax information, aligning its tax system with OECD standards, including the global minimum tax under Pillar Two for large international groups. This means that a company registered in Liechtenstein is perceived by banks and counterparties as belonging to a highly reputable jurisdiction rather than a classic offshore, while the base corporate tax rate remains one of the lowest in Europe (12.5%).
Registering a company in Liechtenstein through Maira Consult takes 3 to 4 weeks and can be carried out remotely through an authorized representative acting under a power of attorney. We help you choose between a GmbH, AG, Anstalt, or Stiftung depending on the purpose of the structure, whether it's asset management, a holding company, or a family trust, and we support the entire process, including selecting a local fiduciary representative.

Liechtenstein's legislation provides for several forms of business establishment:
The company name must include a word or abbreviation indicating its legal form, for example, "GmbH" or "AG".
The minimum share capital for a GmbH is CHF 30,000, and there is a mandatory requirement for it to be paid in full.
At least one member of the management board must be a Liechtenstein resident holding an appropriate professional qualification (lawyer, trustee/fiduciary, auditor, or a state-recognized commercial qualification). This role is usually performed by a licensed local fiduciary and constitutes a separate paid service. We recommend clarifying the exact citizenship and qualification requirements individually for your structure.
The requirement is at least one individual or legal entity, with no restrictions on residency.
Registered GmbH companies must prepare and submit financial statements annually.
The state register is public, and it provides publicly available information on the company's director, shareholders, and the amount of its share capital. Access to the register of beneficial owners is restricted: it is available only to government authorities, entities obligated to conduct compliance checks, and persons who can demonstrate a legitimate interest.
Before registering a company in Liechtenstein, it is necessary to submit a request to the Commercial Register to check the availability of the name. Once it is approved, preparation of the corporate documents begins. The most popular form for registration is a limited liability company (GmbH).
At this stage, information about the share capital and the company's scope of activity must be submitted for the GmbH. Each participant is also required to provide a passport and proof of residential address (for example, a utility bill).
Before the company is registered in the Liechtenstein Commercial Register, a shareholders' meeting is held in the presence of a notary in Liechtenstein and the incorporation documents are signed. Next, a company account for the GmbH is opened at a local bank and the share capital amount is deposited. After the bank confirms receipt of the share capital amount, the documents for registering the GmbH are submitted to the Commercial Register. Remote registration of a company in Liechtenstein is also possible (the registration actions are carried out by a lawyer acting under a power of attorney).
Before the registration process begins, at least 50% of the share capital amount must be paid in.
The process of registering a company in Liechtenstein generally takes 3 to 4 weeks from the day the required set of documents is received, depending on the Commercial Register's workload.
As soon as the company in Liechtenstein is registered, the Commercial Register issues the finished corporate documents bearing the relevant markings.
If necessary, the company's documents are sent for legalization and apostille certification.
The original corporate documents of the company are sent by courier service.
