Book a ConsultationTwo jurisdictions. Two distinct structures.
The right structure depends on your tax situation, residency goals, client base and banking needs. We map both side by side before any registration fees are paid.
Montenegro DOO
A simple, affordable legal entity registered through the Montenegrin Central Registry (CRPS). Popular for residency-linked applications and founders operating across the Balkans and EU candidate zone. 9% flat corporate tax rate.
- Corporate Tax 9%
- Min. Share Capital €1
- Registration Time 3–7 working days
- Accounting Required (from ~€150/month)
Cyprus LTD

- Non-Dom on Dividends Up to 17 years
- Registration Time 7–14 working days
- Accounting Annual audit required

Common questions
How much does it cost to set up a DOO in Montenegro?
Government registration fees are minimal — the meaningful costs are notary and translation fees, professional formation support, the registered address, and mandatory accounting from month one. We provide a line-item estimate for your specific situation before anything is signed.
How long does Montenegro company formation take?
Registration with the Central Register of Business Entities is usually completed within one to three weeks once documents are in order. Opening the corporate bank account is the step that most often extends the overall timeline.
Should I choose a Montenegro DOO or a Cyprus Ltd?
It depends on your tax residency plans, client base, banking needs and whether residency is part of the goal. Montenegro taxes corporate profit at 9–15%; Cyprus at 15% with EU membership and a deep treaty network but higher annual compliance costs, including mandatory audit. We map both side by side before you commit.
Can I register a company without being physically present?
In Montenegro, remote registration is possible through a notarised power of attorney granted to a local lawyer. In Cyprus, similar arrangements exist through appointed representatives. We coordinate this for both jurisdictions.
Do I need a Montenegrin or Cypriot bank account?
Yes — corporate bank accounts are required for company operations in both jurisdictions. Opening bank accounts for foreign-owned companies can be complex. We introduce you to the right banking partners after registration.
How does the DOO help with my residency application?
A registered Montenegro DOO allows the director/founder to apply for a combined residence and work permit. This is the most reliable residency route for active entrepreneurs. The company must have a physical address and active accounting to qualify.
