Open Simplified Limited Liability Company in Luxembourg

A new type of company will come into force starting January 1st, 2017, when the entrepreneurs will be able to establish a simplified limited liability company (Sàrl-S), according to Luxembourg Company Law. This is an alternative to the regular limited liability company (Sàrl) and it will be easier to set up, being nearly similar to mini-GmbH in Germany and Sarl-starter in Belgium.

 

The main advantages of the simplified limited liability company are the reduced costs and the short time for the incorporation process. You will only need a minimum capital share of one euro and one day for the registration, once you have prepared all the documents required for the incorporation. This type of company is proper for small businesses, such as start-ups with a reduced capital.

The founder of this type of company needs to have a deposit that will be constituted as 5% of the net profit calculated yearly till reaching EUR 12.394,68.
