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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
A €30, 30-minute consultation with someone who knows Albanian tax and company law. We tell you honestly which plan fits — or whether you need one at all. Credited in full if you go ahead.
