Company Formation

Set up your tech company the right way.

Austlii incorporates SaaS, fintech, and crypto businesses across more than ten European bases. We are a tech-native legal team. We speak both law and product. You get a clean structure built to raise on.

Four steps from idea to incorporated.

We run the whole setup, not just the filing. Each step closes a risk that trips founders up later. Here is the order we work in.

01

Pick the right home

We compare Estonia, the UK, and eight more European bases. You get a structure that fits your tax, banking, and fundraising plans. No guesswork.

02

Found it cleanly

We draft the articles, founder terms, and vesting up front. Equity splits and roles are set on day one. The cap table stays clean for later rounds.

03

Lock down the IP

Every founder and contractor signs IP across to the company. Your code and brand belong to the entity, not to a person. Investors check this first.

04

Open for business

We line up banking, VAT, and the filings each office wants. You stay compliant from the first invoice. Then we hand you a tidy corporate file.

Everything an incorporation actually needs.

A registered company is the easy part. The work that protects you is the paperwork around it. We handle all of it in one engagement.

Entity selection

Private companies, holding structures, and parent-subsidiary setups for cross-border teams.

Founder & vesting terms

Shareholder agreements, reverse vesting, and good-leaver clauses that survive due diligence.

Code, trademarks, and design rights moved into the company before they ever leave a laptop.

Fintech licensing

From seed to exit

One legal team for the whole company lifecycle.

The structure we build at day one is the structure you grow on. We add IP, contracts, and licences as you scale. When an exit comes, the corporate file is already clean. No frantic clean-up before due diligence.

Common questions on formation.

Short answers to what founders ask us first.

Which country should I incorporate in?

It depends on where your team, customers, and investors sit. We map all three before we file. Most SaaS founders pick Estonia or the UK. Crypto projects often need a different base.

Can you handle a holding structure?

Yes. We set up parent and subsidiary entities for groups that trade across borders. This keeps IP, revenue, and risk in the right places.

Do you cover crypto and Web3 entities?

We do. Token issuers and exchanges have extra rules under MiCA. We build that into the formation plan from the start.
