About Start Company Abroad
Who We Are
Start Company Abroad is a team of incorporation specialists, former corporate lawyers, and compliance analysts. We have worked on the ground in the jurisdictions we serve—not just as advisors, but as founders ourselves. Since 2015, we have helped over 1,200 entrepreneurs and small businesses set up entities in the US, UK, Singapore, Estonia, and Germany.
We are not a law firm, and we do not pretend to be one. We are the people you call when you need to navigate the paperwork, banking, and tax registrations that come with starting a company in a foreign country. We handle the process end-to-end, so you can focus on running your business.
Why We Exist
Our founders started Start Company Abroad after their own frustrating experiences with incorporation agents. They encountered hidden fees, slow responses, and a lack of transparency about what was actually required. They believed there had to be a better way: a service that explains the steps clearly, charges fairly, and delivers on time.
That belief still drives us. We exist to make international incorporation accessible and understandable for founders who don't have a legal department or a big budget. We measure our success by how many clients return to us for their second or third entity—and by how many refer us to others.
Our Mission and Values
Our mission is to simplify cross-border company formation without cutting corners. We do this by:
- Transparency: We publish our fees upfront and explain every government charge. No surprises.
- Accuracy: We file documents correctly the first time. Our compliance team reviews every submission before it goes out.
- Responsiveness: We answer emails within one business day and provide a direct line to your case manager.
- Long-term support: We don't disappear after incorporation. We offer ongoing compliance services for as long as you need them.
Our Team and Expertise
Our team of 25 includes incorporation specialists, accountants, and legal consultants. Many of us have lived and worked in the countries we cover. For example, our UK lead spent six years running a startup in London, and our Singapore lead managed corporate secretarial services for a regional firm.
We maintain direct relationships with local registered agents, notaries, and tax authorities. This means we can resolve issues quickly—whether it's a missing document or a question about a filing deadline. We also invest in ongoing training to stay current with regulatory changes, such as the EU's new corporate transparency rules.
Why Trust Us
We know that trust is earned. Here's how we try to earn yours:
- No hidden fees: Our pricing page lists every cost, including government fees and our service fee.
- Clear timelines: We tell you how long each step will take, based on current processing times.
- Real people: You can reach your case manager by phone or email. We don't use chatbots for client communication.
- Client references: We can connect you with past clients who have agreed to share their experiences.
We are proud of the work we do, and we are happy to answer any questions you have before you commit. If you're considering starting a company abroad, we'd be glad to help you understand your options.
