e-Residency and Xolo Leap

Some things are just
better together

Since 2014, entrepreneurs across the world have used Estonia's e-Residency program as a gateway for starting a business in Estonia (Ltd = OÜ) and gaining access to the EU market.

But there's a catch.

In order to register your company, you need an official address in Estonia. And unless you're a resident, you're required by law to have a local contact.

And this contact can't just be some friendly local you meet in a bar — it has to be someone with the knowledge and authority to help you navigate the Estonian legal and taxation systems.

In other words, a person or a platform who can help you with compliance, accounting, reporting… and filing your taxes.

And with Xolo Leap — you get both!

Why start your EU business in Estonia?

With its competitive corporate tax rate and advanced digital literacy, this tiny Baltic country is uniquely fertile ground for entrepreneurs. Once your e-Residency is established, you'll be able to access Estonia's digital business environment from anywhere in the world! Xolo Leap can support you through the process of business formation: from registration, to establishing a business address, to getting set up with a business bank account through our partners at LHV bank.

Administration is my least favourite part of being in business - being able to outsource all of that to professional and compliant service through the Xolo portal, makes life much more straightforward.
