I have customers in other countries, and I need a company that can invoice them and hold an account.
One company limited by shares with you as sole director, a local agent in place, and a multi-currency account opened alongside it.
Talk through this setupI sell in more than one market, and the payment providers I depend on want a real entity behind the account.
A trading company that holds the merchant accounts and customer contracts in its own name, with bookkeeping that keeps pace with the volume.
Talk through this setupI contract with clients in several countries, and I would rather do it through a company than in my own name.
A services company that signs the engagements and issues the invoices, with you as director and banking in the currencies your clients pay in.

Our specialists guide the whole process remotely, with official fees inside one price fixed before we start. Each jurisdiction's entry package and yearly upkeep are below, so you can shortlist in a minute.
What you pay is a fee for our services, together with the government fees payable on your incorporation. In every jurisdiction, registration is granted by the company registry at its discretion; we prepare and submit your filing, but the decision and its timing rest with the registry.

Why Expanship
Why founders, online businesses and established groups choose us over traditional incorporation agents, law firms and freelance consultants.
One price agreed before we start, covering incorporation, the local agent and the year's compliance. Nothing added mid-way.
Hidden fees at checkout, hourly billing with vague estimates, and constant 'this will cost extra' surprises mid-project.
A named contact, a written checklist and a status update at every stage, from first call to the company being in good standing.
Silence for weeks, then a request for something you were never told about.
Company incorporation, banking, compliance, accounting, nominee directors, corporate secretarial, all coordinated under one roof for your entire expansion.
Incorporation from one provider, banking from another, compliance from a third. You become the project manager.
We don't disappear after incorporation. Annual filings, substance reporting, beneficial ownership, corporate governance, the same dedicated team year after year.
Goodbye after incorporation. New engagement, new fees for every matter. Or they've moved on to other projects entirely.
Strict data security protocols, careful handling of your personal information, and professional confidentiality. Your information protected throughout the process.
Sensitive information passed around by email, with no formal handling protocol.
Everything handled online, from onboarding to signing. No travel required unless local law demands it.
Online start but in-person trips for notarization, paper-heavy processes, and meetings that could have been emails.
An experienced team that understands international business, corporate governance and cross-border operations. A named person who knows your file, not a ticket queue.
Ticket systems with a different person each time, or one person who becomes a single point of failure.

FAQ
Straight answers on incorporating and running a company abroad with Expanship.
It depends on the jurisdiction and on how quickly due diligence is completed. Our side, the checks, drafting and submission, moves within days of receiving your information. Approval and its timing rest with the authority in each jurisdiction, so we give you a realistic estimate for your chosen jurisdiction before you commit rather than a blanket promise.
No. The whole process is remote. Onboarding, identity checks and signatures are handled electronically, and our team prepares and coordinates every submission on your behalf. The only exception is the rare case where local law requires an in-person step, and we tell you upfront if it does.

We track every deadline, prepare each submission and confirm it back to you, so the company stays in good standing without you chasing dates.
One price agreed before we start. Incorporation packages include official fees, everything we draft and submit, and the first year of the local agent and office address. From the second year an annual renewal keeps the company in good standing; what it covers is itemised on each jurisdiction's pricing page.
