Timeline for Estonian company registration
If buyers are coming to Estonia they can start using the company and bank account on the very same day. Making changes in register takes about 5 working days after all the documents are received from the client.
The buyers will be owners after signing the purchase agreement. The Notary will forward the information about the share purchase to the Commercial Register immidately. If the buyer has Estonian, Belgium, Finnish, Lietuva or Portugese ID-card (and PIN codes) then after notarys appointment the information can be changed online and changes will be made by the Commercial Register within 24 hours.
