Company Establishment

Company incorporation is the process by which one or more persons come together to form a company to fulfil a specific purpose. The incorporation process may vary depending on the type of company (e.g. joint stock company, limited liability company, etc.) and the country of incorporation. Generally, the incorporation documents (e.g. articles of association, trade registry declaration, etc.) need to be prepared and submitted to the relevant authorities (e.g. trade registry office, tax office, etc.).
