The questions we are actually asked, companies and individuals.

Residence is not required to be a shareholder. Depending on the activity, a business permit and a director with genuine substance in Luxembourg may however be necessary. Company setup & lifecycle →

Not necessarily. Most of it is handled remotely: KYC, documents, power of attorney. The notarial signature can be arranged by proxy depending on the structure. Company setup & lifecycle →

That is realistic for a simple structure once KYC is complete. The limiting factor is rarely registration, it is the bank file and the business permit. Company setup & lifecycle →

The choice depends on the capital you can lock in, the shareholding and the intended positioning. Minimum capital and the detailed comparison of the three forms are on the Company formation in Luxembourg page. Company setup & lifecycle →

Both routes exist, with different substance, VAT and accounting implications. We choose according to your objective. Company setup & lifecycle →

Yes: payslips, CCSS affiliations, withholding tax, indexation. For employees, self-employed people and managers. Tax, VAT & payroll →

It is the company's economic reality in Luxembourg. It can contribute to establishing tax residence, without on its own determining it. Governance & directorship →

Yes, within the permitted framework, with board meetings genuinely held locally and a documented substance file. Governance & directorship →

Dissolution, appointment of a liquidator, settlement of liabilities, tax clearance, striking-off at the RCS. We run the whole process. Regulatory compliance →

Yes, for residents and cross-border workers alike: tax classes, deductible expenses, foreign income, deadlines. Tax, VAT & payroll →

Tax classes, income from both countries, double-taxation treaties. We optimise within the legal framework. Tax, VAT & payroll →

Yes: bookkeeping, VAT, income tax return and CCSS follow-up, with advice included. Accounting, accounts & closing →

Yes. We work with clients from Europe, China, the United States, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and elsewhere, in nine languages. Company setup & lifecycle →

Company formation, bookkeeping and annual accounts, tax and VAT, payroll/CCSS, consolidation, directorship and substance, compliance (AML/KYC, DAC6, CRS/FATCA), holding and fund structuring, and outsourced CFO, with a single point of contact.

Usually 2 to 3 weeks, at most one month, once the file is complete (KYC, capital deposit, notarial deed, RCS and RBE registration). A SARL-S can be faster.

Accounts must be approved by the general meeting within 6 months of the financial year-end, then filed with the RCS within one month of approval, i.e. within 7 months of the closing date. Late filing triggers penalties.

It becomes mandatory when the company exceeds, over two consecutive years, two of these three thresholds: balance-sheet total EUR 7.5m, net turnover EUR 15m, 50 employees on average. Below that, a commissaire may suffice depending on the legal form.

Indicatively, expect EUR 70-150/h for standard accounting and EUR 150-300/h for specialised advisory, whether the provider is a licensed accountant (comptable autorisé) or an expert-comptable. The distinction is worth understanding: the expert-comptable is a member of the Ordre des Experts-Comptables (OEC); the licensed accountant operates under a business permit from the Ministry of the Economy. Both keep your books, prepare your annual accounts and file them with the RCS. Financial Services Luxembourg acts as a licensed accountant (authorisation 10077274), and favours a fixed monthly fee over hourly billing: you know what you pay, and asking a question does not trigger an invoice.

The company must have a registered office in Luxembourg. Domiciliation is provided by a partner attorney at law, registered on List I of the Bar roll, who contracts directly with you; we coordinate it and, where needed, the substance layer (governance, local director).

Mainly French and English. The firm serves an international client base (entrepreneurs, holdings, investors, funds, family offices).
