Company registration in Andorra in 2026
A limited liability company with capital from €3,000: first government foreign investment approval, then the notary, the companies register and trade registration.
A foreigner can own 100% of an Andorran company in most sectors but first needs government approval for foreign investment, required for every non-resident holding more than 10%. The minimum capital of a limited liability company is €3,000, about $3,400.
Corporate tax is 10% and the general indirect tax, the local equivalent of VAT, is 4.5%. The company can support active residence if the owner works in it in Andorra.
How to register a company in Andorra: the steps
| Step | What happens | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Name | name reservation with the companies register | 3-5 working days |
| 2. Foreign investment | government approval for a non-resident holding more than 10% | 2 to 6 weeks |
| 3. Capital | paying in from €3,000 to an Andorran bank, bank certificate | alongside the approval |
| 4. Notary | deed of formation and articles | 1 day by appointment |
| 5. Register and trade | entry in the companies register, then trade registration of the activity | 2-6 weeks |
Taxes and mandatory payments
- 10% corporate tax.
- 4.5% general indirect tax.
- Annual register and trade registration fees, depending on the activity.

The €3,000 capital stays with the company. The turnkey package is in the price table below.
Capital from $3,400 and government approval for foreign investment
The law does not stop you from registering a company on your own. But mistakes cost more than the fees: a foreign investment application without a convincing business plan, capital not deposited at an Andorran bank, documents without an apostille and Catalan translation, a commercial registration forgotten after the companies register. Murblz support removes these risks: we prepare the government approval application, the business plan and documents, arrange the capital deposit, the notary, the companies register and commercial registration. We guarantee professional work and a transparent process, and in most cases a result on the first application.
Company registration in Andorra with our support starts from $23,000; a manager will calculate the total in the chat.
Taxes for the company owner
If the owner lives in Andorra and has become its tax resident, dividends from an Andorran company are free of income tax. Salary and other income are taxed on a scale: 0% up to €24,000 a year, 5% up to €40,000 and 10% above. There is no inheritance, gift or wealth tax. A tax resident is someone who spends more than 183 days a year in Andorra or keeps their main centre of interests there; a residence permit alone does not make you resident.
How we handle registration
- We prepare the foreign investment application describing the project and the source of funds.
- We reserve the name and agree the articles.
- We arrange a bank account for the capital.
- We handle the notary, the register entry and trade registration.
- If residence through the company is needed, we prepare its documents in parallel.
Why registration gets delayed
- The government asks for more on the investor and the source of funds.
- The bank takes long to vet a foreign founder, so the capital is not paid in.
- The activity needs a separate licence or qualification.
- Foreigners' documents lack an apostille and a Catalan translation.
