is a Smart Alternative to a Local Private Company

Easier Registration Process

A branch is easier, quicker, and more cost-effective to register compared to establishing a local private company.

This streamlined process is available not only in Latvia but across the EU and many other regions

We've simplified and automated entity management in Latvia, including accounting requirements, to save you time and effort.

Simple Maintenance and De-registration

Managing your branch in Latvia is simple. Any updates to your branch details can be easily handled by updating the legal entity used for registration. Through our portal, all corporate changes can be made quickly, and de-registration is hassle-free—no legal or notary costs involved.

Guaranteed Bank Account

We guarantee that we can open a bank or EMI account in Latvia, ensuring you can operate with a local Latvian IBAN number. With our no-cure, no-pay policy, you can be confident your business will have the financial tools it needs.

Tax Flexibility

A branch in Latvia offers flexible tax benefits. You can register as a representative office, which may exempt you from paying taxes or submitting tax returns. For a fully operational branch, standard corporate taxes apply, but you benefit from no withholding taxes on outgoing dividends.

A Guide to Branch
Registration in Lativa

Registering a branch in Latvia is a cost-effective and straightforward way to establish a presence without creating a separate legal entity. It allows you to operate directly under your parent company with fewer administrative hurdles and a faster process than forming a local company.

Obtain a VAT Number: If applicable for taxable activities.

The branch registration procedure in Latvia is simple, using the services of House of Companies.

By successfully completing the branch registration process, the company can establish a legitimate and compliant presence in the foreign country, enabling it to expand its operations and reach new markets.

Advantages of Branch Registration Over a Subsidiary

When expanding your business into Latvia, one of the key decisions you'll need to make is whether to register a branch or establish a subsidiary. Each option presents distinct advantages, and the right choice depends on your company’s specific goals and strategy.

One of the key benefits of branch registration is that it allows your company to operate directly under the parent company’s name, maintaining a consistent global brand identity. This simplifies market entry and helps strengthen brand recognition across borders. Furthermore, a branch typically involves lower initial costs and administrative requirements compared to a subsidiary. The parent company retains full ownership and control of the branch’s operations, providing greater flexibility in decision-making and strategy.

A branch also enables a seamless transfer of resources, knowledge, and operational efficiencies from the parent company to its operations in Latvia. This can lead to quicker market adaptation and cost savings. However, it’s important to note that branch registration does come with legal obligations and compliance requirements that vary by jurisdiction, such as local tax laws and business regulations.

While branches offer a streamlined and cost-effective solution, the decision to go this route or to form a subsidiary in Latvia should be carefully considered. Subsidiaries typically involve more complex corporate structures and additional reporting, but they may offer greater protection and independence in some cases. Understanding these differences and the specific legal landscape in Latvia is crucial to making an informed decision.
