Who it's for

Built for foreign owners running an Albanian company from afar

If your business is here but you are not, this is for you. These are the situations we set up and keep compliant every week.

Foreign founders forming an Albanian SHPK

You want a registered Albanian company but plan to run it from abroad. We form the SHPK under power of attorney and operate it on your behalf, with no flight and no local partner.

Digital nomads & solo operators

You need a real registered address and someone watching the deadlines while you move. We hold an inspectable Tirana seat and file everything on time so nothing slips.

Non-resident e-commerce & SaaS owners

You owe Albanian VAT or run an Albanian entity remotely. We handle the registrations, returns, and monthly compliance so your selling never gets blocked by paperwork.

Investors holding an Albanian company

You own a company here but live elsewhere. We give it a compliant legal seat and keep its filings current, so your investment stays in good standing year after year.

Founders wanting an EU-adjacent base

You want Albania’s tax tiers and EU-adjacent position but cannot be in Tirana. We become your on-the-ground presence: address, filings, and an English-speaking point of contact.

Switching from another accountant or agent

You already have an Albanian company but your current provider leaves you chasing answers or missing deadlines. We take over the seat, filings, and communication — with no gap in coverage.

How it works

From checkout to NIPT, step by step

Five steps. You do roughly twenty minutes of work online plus one notary appointment; we handle the rest in Tirana. Typically about two weeks once your notarised power of attorney and documents reach us — the notary/apostille step varies by country.

  1. 1

    Choose a plan & pay

    ~10 min

    Pick the plan that fits your company and pay online. The one-time formation fee and your first month are clear up front — no setup surprises.

  2. 2

    Complete onboarding online

    ~10 min

    Enter your company details and complete KYC online. We then prepare your power of attorney for you to notarise — the one step that happens offline.

  3. 3

    Notarise & courier your power of attorney

    ~3–10 days

    Albanian law requires a notarised power of attorney before we can file for you. Use a remote e-notary where your country allows it, or a local notary plus an apostille and the prepaid courier we send. Timing varies by country.

  4. 4

    We file at QKB

    3–7 days

    Once your notarised power of attorney reaches us, we register the SHPK at the National Business Center, set your registered address, and handle NIPT and VAT.

  5. 5

    NIPT issued — you are live

    Your tax ID is issued, your company is registered, and we begin the ongoing compliance work on your plan.

The one step that isn’t fully online — and how we handle it.

Albanian law requires a notarised power of attorney before we can file your company for you. We won’t pretend that part is a click. You handle one short appointment — remote e-notary where your country allows it, or a local notary plus an apostille and a prepaid courier we send — and we handle everything else.

FAQ

Questions foreign founders ask

Do I need to visit Albania to form my company?

No. The entire process is remote. You grant a notarised power of attorney and we file your company, hold your registered address, and handle filings on your behalf. The only step that is not a click is the power of attorney itself, which you can usually complete with a remote e-notary or a local notary plus an apostille — we send a prepaid courier where needed.

Can a foreigner own 100% of an Albanian company?

Yes. An Albanian limited company (SHPK) can be 100% foreign-owned, with no requirement for a resident director or a local partner. Minimum share capital is symbolic (about €1). You keep full ownership and control while we act under power of attorney to register and run the company.

Why is there a one-time fee and a monthly fee?

The one-time €900 fee covers formation: registering the SHPK at the National Business Center (QKB), obtaining your NIPT (tax ID), and VAT registration. The monthly fee covers everything ongoing: your registered legal address (selia ligjore), compliance, and the filings your company must make every month and year to stay in good standing. Your first month is charged at checkout and the monthly plan renews on that same date each month — including during the roughly two-week setup period.

What is a registered office, or selia ligjore?

A registered office (selia ligjore) is your company’s official legal seat recorded at QKB, where government and legal notices are served. Albanian law requires every company to have one. Ours is a genuine, inspectable Tirana office — not a virtual PO box — so it holds up to inspection and reliably receives your official correspondence.

When do I need a VAT fiscal representative?

Only in specific VAT situations — typically a non-established business that owes Albanian VAT and must appoint a resident representative who is jointly liable for that VAT. Most foreign-owned SHPKs do not need a separate fiscal representative. Because the representative carries joint liability, this service is request-only and assessed individually; it is never sold self-serve.

Can I cancel, and how?

Yes — self-serve, no lock-in and no long-term contract. From your client dashboard you can open the secure billing portal to update your card or cancel your plan yourself; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period (30 days’ notice). The one-time formation fee covers work already done and is not recurring.

What is your refund policy?

The one-time formation fee is fully refundable until we begin filing your company at the QKB — once filing starts it covers work performed and is no longer refundable. Monthly plan fees are not refunded for the current period; cancel anytime to stop future charges. Government registration fees and third-party costs (notary, apostille, courier, bank) are never refundable because they are paid out to those parties. Any VAT-representation deposit is held as a refundable balance and returned when the engagement ends and obligations are settled.

How is my data handled?

Your documents and data (ID, tax certificate, KYC documents) are used only to register your company at the QKB and make your tax filings — nothing else. They’re stored securely and handled by our team (Valbona and Anxhela); they’re never sold or shared with third parties.

What if a deadline is missed or a filing is wrong — who’s responsible?

We file under a deadline engine that monitors e-Albania and your tax account, and you approve filings before they go in, so mistakes are caught early. We stand behind the work we prepare and correct any error on our side. (Full VAT fiscal representation — where the representative shares liability for your VAT — is a separate, request-only service.)

Not sure which plan is right for me?

You can buy a plan directly whenever you’re ready — pick a package above and pay online. If you’d rather talk it through first, book a €30 consultation: a real accountant scopes your situation and recommends the right plan honestly, and the €30 is credited in full toward your setup if you proceed.
