The timeline depends on the legal structure chosen and the complexity of your business. For a SARL-S (Simplified Private Limited Company), incorporation can be completed in as little as 5 to 10 business days. If your business requires a licence and VAT registration, you might need 2 o 3 months to complete the process
Yes, a physical office or registered address in Luxembourg is mandatory to obtain a business license.
This requirement establishes the company’s legal and operational presence within the country. In sectors subject to heightened regulatory oversight—such as finance, real estate, or construction—the address must correspond to an actual place of business activity, not merely a correspondence or mailbox address. This helps ensure transparency and compliance with local regulations.
