What is group consolidation in Estonia?
Group consolidation is one of 6 parts of our “Restructuring” practice. It covers the full cycle from initial scoping to operational launch, run by a single named partner from our Estonia desk.
What it is in Estonia: merging entities into a single ownership tree. e-Residency moves all administration into a remote format. Crypto-asset licensing has been reformed — the requirements are now substantially stricter, but the routes exist.
How we handle group consolidation
The “Group consolidation” project in Estonia is structured as a 4-stage process run by a single named partner.
M&A support, voluntary dissolution, cross-border entity migration, and IP transfers — clean exits and clean moves.
The same desk that runs group consolidation handles your banking, bookkeeping, compliance and — where needed — your wind-down.INNOVA · Operating model
Why Estonia
Estonia is a digital state with one of the most convenient corporate systems in the EU: e-Residency for remote management, deferred corporate tax (payable only on distributed profit), and an EU passport for your structures. One of our priority hubs for crypto projects and European operating companies.
A reliable regulatory environment
Banking ecosystem
Corporate tax 22% on distribution (the 22/78 mechanism, from 01.01.2025; 0% on retained profit)

For complex situations — multi-jurisdiction structures, regulated activity, founder relocation. A full plan with stages, dependencies, deliverables and timing.
Direct execution
You know what you need — we execute. No advisory mark-up and no discovery phase.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we're asked most often. If yours isn't here, an intro call is the fastest way to get an answer.
Most “Group consolidation” projects in Estonia run from 2 to 8 weeks start to finish. The fastest stage is document filing; the longest is post-registration onboarding (banking, tax registration). A single named partner runs the project throughout.
