Domicile address for start-ups: special considerations and tips

When choosing a domicile address, start-ups have to consider several criteria, which can be a challenge. Cost efficiency is often a priority, especially for young companies with a limited budget. The location and reputation of the address also play an important role, as a prestigious business address exudes professionalism.

Legal compliance must be ensured, which may involve different requirements depending on the country. Protecting the privacy of the founders is also particularly important, as personal addresses should remain private.
