Share capital
Share capital is committed, not spent, so it never appears as a cost line. Confirm the current minimum and whether it must be paid in before registration.
Not counted above

An estimate is not a quote
- Statutory
- A fee an authority publishes at a fixed amount. It is the same for everyone.
- Market rate
- What providers charge for something the law requires, such as a registered address. It varies, so it is shown as a range.
- One-off and yearly
- Shown separately: the cost of opening a company is different from the cost of keeping it open.
- Before Euronexis fees
- Every figure is what a third party charges. Euronexis software pricing is on the pricing page and is not in these totals.
Fees and authority practice change without notice. Figures come from published schedules, not your file. Nothing here is a quotation, an offer or advice.
The cheapest country is rarely the right one.
Where your customers are, who owns the company and whether a bank will open an account matter more than filing fees. The free assessment weighs all three.
