We offer the legal entity option.

A Contact Person in Estonia may be appointed as either a natural person (individual) or a legal entity (company), depending on the service provider’s structure and legal basis.

Our legal entity option means the Contact Person service is provided through our licensed corporate service structure.

Our activity is supported by an official authorisation issued by the Estonian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications, ensuring the service is compliant and professionally managed.

A Contact Person can be appointed for a fixed term (e.g. one year).

Once the term expires, the Contact Person is automatically removed from the company record in the Estonian Commercial Register, and a new appointment must be made for the next period.

The appointed person must provide formal consent, which is given digitally either directly in the e-Business Register or by submitting a digitally signed consent to a Public Notary.

The Contact Person must first be linked to the company in the relevant register environment before the consent can be confirmed.

Category: Contact person

No.

A sole proprietor ( FIE ) does not need a contact person, but must provide a valid Estonian address when applying for entry in the Commercial Register. The same rule applies to freelancers in creative or professional fields.

Before starting business activity, every FIE—whether resident or e-resident—must file an online registration via the Commercial Register; the Tax and Customs Board receives the data automatically, so no separate tax registration is required.

E-resident sole proprietors should note that they must pre-pay social tax four times per year, at a flat amount set annually in the state budget, regardless of actual income.
