First decision you will need to make is to choose between establishing a new company or buying existing shelf company (also know as ready made company). Both choices have their advantages and disadvantages.<\/p>\n

Ready made company<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ready made company<\/a> is the fastest way to start a business. You can literally start sending invoices and sign contracts the very next day after you sign the transfer of the title. Ready made company is a great option also if you want to become VAT payer right from the beginning. You simply buy an VAT payer ready made company and you are all set. One thing to keep in mind is the company’s background and history. You want to make sure that the company you are buying is clean and without any debts. Therefore it is wise to choose the partner from whom you are buying the company carefully. If you choose to buy the ready made company from EMINEO PARTNERS, the history and clean company record is guaranteed in contract. The company’s address and business activities can be changed during the process of company transfer to the new owner.<\/p>\n
