Independent verification of in-kind share capital in Estonia. Ensure assets meet legal requirements and get registered smoothly without delays.
upon request
Description
If you’re founding an Estonian company or increasing its share capital using non-monetary assets (like equipment, vehicles, software, or IP rights), the law may require independent verification of those contributions.
We provide Control of In-Kind Contribution reports in accordance with the Estonian Commercial Code. Our role is to confirm that the asset:
- Exists and is owned by the contributor
- Is transferable to the company
- Has a declared value that is reasonable and justified
This service helps ensure legal compliance, prevent registry rejections, and protect shareholders against inflated or unclear contributions.
What’s Included
- Document Review
We review the documents proving ownership, transferability, and relevance of the asset — such as contracts, invoices, certificates, or registration records. - Legal and Eligibility Check
We assess whether the asset is legally allowed for in-kind contribution and whether it meets the requirements of the Estonian Commercial Code. - Value Plausibility Review
We verify that the declared value is reasonable and supported by available evidence. (Note: this is not a formal valuation or appraisal.) - Confirmation Report
We issue a signed verification report confirming the asset’s eligibility and value — suitable for submission to the Estonian Business Register.
The final report is suitable for submission to the Estonian Business Register.
Timing
Standard processing time is 3–5 business days after we receive all required documentation.
If the contribution involves complex assets — such as intellectual property, software, or shares in other companies — additional time may be needed for verification and review.
When is this required?
Control of In-Kind Contribution is required when forming a company or increasing share capital using non-monetary assets instead of cash.
What assets qualify?
The asset must be:
– Transferable to the company
– Clearly identifiable
– Relevant to the company’s business activities
What is not accepted?
Assets that are:
– Difficult to value objectively
– Not allowed under Estonian law
– Lacking supporting documentation
Important to know
We do not perform full-scale market valuations.
Instead, we check whether the declared value is reasonable and properly documented.
