01 — LEGAL FORM
Private Limited Liability Company
UAB is one of the most widely used legal forms for conducting commercial activities in Lithuania. It is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, international projects, trading companies, IT, logistics, manufacturing, consulting and businesses planning further growth or investment.
Foreign individuals and legal entities may establish or participate in a Lithuanian UAB.
Depending on the country of origin and type of document, foreign corporate documents may require certification, Apostille or legalisation, and translation into Lithuanian.
We review the documents before the registration process and advise which formalities apply to the particular case.
A UAB may be established by individuals and/or legal entities, including foreign founders.
If the company has one founder, an Act of Incorporation is prepared. If there are two or more founders, a Founders’ Agreement is concluded.
The company acquires legal personality after registration with the Lithuanian Register of Legal Entities.
Before registration, the founders should determine:
For the electronic establishment procedure, Registrų centras also requires the company name to contain Uždaroji akcinė bendrovė or UAB.
Depending on the structure of the company, we normally request:
01 Full details of each founder / shareholder.
02 Identification documents of individual founders.
03 Corporate documents if a founder is a legal entity.
04 Details of the proposed director.
05 Proposed company name.
06 Registered office address and relevant consent / documents for its use.

02 — LEGAL FORM
Small Partnership
MB is a private limited-liability legal entity designed primarily for small and closely held businesses.
It can be an attractive alternative to UAB for entrepreneurs who require a simpler ownership structure and do not need a traditional share-based company.
MB can be suitable for:
Unlike UAB, the membership structure of an MB has specific statutory requirements.
Before incorporation, the founders determine the members, contributions, management model, registered office and other essential elements.
03 — LEGAL FORM
Individual Enterprise
IĮ is a legal form intended for a business owned by one individual.
This form should be selected only after considering its liability, taxation and management characteristics in comparison with UAB and MB.
One of the most significant differences is the liability structure of an individual enterprise.
For this reason, before establishing an IĮ we recommend an individual assessment of whether this legal form is appropriate for the proposed business.
We normally require:
01 Identification details of the founders.
02 Proposed name.
03 Registered office information.
04 Information on members and their contributions.
05 Proposed management structure.
06 Details of the manager / representative where applicable.
07 Information about intended activities.
08 Other information required to prepare the incorporation documents.
We can continue assisting with corporate changes, contracts, accounting coordination, tax matters, VAT procedures where applicable and other administrative matters.
Typically:
01 Owner’s identification information.
02 Identification document.
03 Proposed company name.
04 Registered office.
05 Details of the manager, if applicable.
06 Information about business activities.
07 Information required for the company’s constitutive documents.
If the client is uncertain which structure to choose, we can compare the main characteristics of the available forms based on the ownership structure, planned activities and future development of the business.
04 — LEGAL FORM
Public Institution / Non-Profit Legal Entity
It is a non-profit legal form generally used for activities serving public interests rather than for distributing profits to owners.
Depending on the project’s objectives, VšĮ may be considered for:
01 Founder information.
02 Identification / corporate documents.
03 Proposed name.
04 Registered office.
05 Description of objectives and activities.
06 Management information.
07 Information required for the articles and incorporation documents.
08 Foreign documents where applicable.
05 — LEGAL FORM
Association
An association is a non-profit membership-based legal entity generally established to coordinate the activities of its members, represent their interests and pursue objectives defined in its articles.
It can be appropriate where several persons or organisations wish to operate through a common membership organisation rather than a commercial company.
Depending on the structure:
01 Founder information.
02 Incorporation agreement.
03 Articles of association.
04 Information about governing bodies.
05 Registered office information.
06 Information concerning the organisation’s objectives.
07 Foreign founder documents where applicable.
08 Other documents required by the particular structure.
06 — LEGAL FORM
Charity and Support Foundation
A Lithuanian charity and support foundation is a specific non-profit legal form governed by dedicated legislation concerning its establishment, management, activities, reorganisation and termination.
It may be appropriate for projects whose primary purpose is charitable, social, educational, cultural or other public-benefit activity.
Registration of a foundation does not by itself automatically grant every tax, charity or support-related status or benefit. Applicable tax and support rules should be assessed separately.
Lithuania also has separate legislation regulating charity and support.
01 Founder information.
02 Identification / corporate documents.
03 Foundation name.
04 Registered office.
05 Description of objectives.
06 Information about management bodies.
07 Information necessary for incorporation documents.
08 Foreign documents where applicable.
07 — LEGAL FORM
Establish Your Company’s Presence in Lithuania
A branch enables an existing foreign legal entity to establish a registered organisational presence in Lithuania.
Registrų centras requires the competent body of the foreign legal entity to adopt the establishment decision, branch regulations to be prepared and the branch’s management bodies to be appointed. The branch is considered established upon registration in the Register of Legal Entities.
A branch is connected to the foreign parent legal entity and should not be presented as an independent Lithuanian company equivalent to a UAB.
Foreign companies planning to establish an operational presence in Lithuania without incorporating a separate Lithuanian company.
The exact package depends on the foreign company, but Registrų centras identifies documents including:
We would additionally collect the information required to establish:
Certification, legalisation / Apostille and Lithuanian translation requirements are assessed according to the country of origin and document type.
Registrų centras also states that, before registration of a foreign branch or representative office, a civil-law notary verifies the application particulars, compliance of the regulations and eligibility for registration.
08 — LEGAL FORM
Representation of a Foreign Company in Lithuania
A representative office provides an existing foreign legal entity with a registered presence for representation-related purposes.
Before proceeding, we analyse what the foreign company actually intends to do in Lithuania and whether a representative office, branch or separate Lithuanian company is the more appropriate structure.
A representative office should not be presented to clients as the same thing as a branch or a Lithuanian UAB.
For foreign representative offices, Registrų centras describes the same core establishment sequence:
Adopted by the competent body of the foreign company.
Representative-office regulations are prepared.
The representative / management is appointed.
Registration with the Register of Legal Entities.
Depending on the case:
The official Centre of Registers guide lists these categories for foreign branches and representative offices.
PRICING
The cost of our services is calculated individually.
The final fee depends on the selected legal form, number and type of founders, ownership structure, involvement of foreign individuals or legal entities, required documents, method of incorporation and scope of additional support.
Following an initial review of the project, we provide an individual commercial proposal specifying the scope of services and the agreed professional fee.
