Andorra offers a <strong>competitive tax framework, legal stability, and an agile business environment<\/strong> for those who wish to establish themselves in the Principality. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, you will find everything you need to know: from the <strong>types of companies available<\/strong> to the <strong>specific steps<\/strong>, <strong>costs, and deadlines<\/strong> for opening a company in Andorra in 2026. And if you want to do it without wasting time or making mistakes, at the end we explain how <strong>OCPS<\/strong> can accompany you throughout the process. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why create a company in Andorra in 2026?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andorra is one of the few European territories that combines <strong>low tax pressure, excellent quality of life, and access to international markets<\/strong>. Some of the main advantages for companies are: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Corporate Income Tax of <strong>10%<\/strong> (one of the lowest in Europe).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personal Income Tax (IRPF) with a maximum tax rate of <strong>10%<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Equivalent VAT (IGI) of <strong>4.5%<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Absence of <strong>inheritance, wealth, or capital gains taxes in many cases<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stable economy, Euro currency, and access to international agreements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, sectors such as <strong>construction, trade, hospitality, and digital technologies<\/strong> are in full expansion, making Andorra an especially attractive territory for entrepreneurs in 2026.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who can create a company in Andorra?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both residents and non-residents can <strong>incorporate a company in Andorra<\/strong>, although the applicable regime varies according to the investor&#8217;s situation:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Non-resident foreign investors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In accordance with the Omnibus Law (Law for Sustainable Growth, 2025), <strong>foreign investors<\/strong> who wish to have a stake of more than 10% in an Andorran company must previously obtain a <strong>foreign investment authorization<\/strong> from the competent ministry. From a 25% joint foreign participation, authorization is mandatory for any subsequent modification. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incorporated company must <strong>start effective economic activity within a maximum period of 18 months<\/strong> from its incorporation, and must demonstrate this through the registration of a business or industry, the filing of annual accounts, and compliance with minimum turnover amounts.<strong><br\/><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Foreigners who wish to reside and work as self-employed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If, in addition to creating the company, you wish to obtain a <strong>residence and self-employment work permit<\/strong>, the new regulations (amended by the Omnibus Law on February 2, 2026) establish that it is necessary to:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reserve the immigration authorization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Within a period of <strong>6 months<\/strong>, provide proof of: a) the foreign investment authorization and the incorporation of the company with a stake of more than 34%; b) holding a position in the administrative body and an effective management role.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deposit the amount of <strong>\u20ac50,000 non-remunerated<\/strong> with the Andorran Financial Authority (AFA) (a non-refundable amount that remains for the benefit of the State, except in the case of denial of the initial authorization). Exceptions apply to <strong>digital economy, entrepreneurship, or innovation<\/strong> projects recognized by the Government. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide proof, within an additional period of 3 months, that the company is the owner of a registered and active business or industry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Types of companies in Andorra: which one to choose?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Andorra, the most common legal forms for the <strong>creation of a company<\/strong> are the companies regulated by Law 20\/2007, on public limited companies and limited liability companies, amended by Omnibus Law I (2025):<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Limited Liability Company (SRL)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the most common form for <strong>SMEs and new entrepreneurs<\/strong>. It offers limited liability to the capital contributed and flexible management. The corporate purpose and name must be approved by the <strong>Registry of Commercial Companies<\/strong>, which, with the 2025 reform, issues a binding name reservation certificate for all registration procedures.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Public Limited Company (SA)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suitable for larger-scale projects or those planning to attract external investors. It requires a <strong>higher minimum share capital<\/strong> and a more formal governance structure. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Branch or permanent establishment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An option for foreign companies that want to operate in Andorra without incorporating a local company. Also subject to the foreign investment authorization regime if there is foreign participation. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Steps to incorporate a company in Andorra in 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the standard process for a foreigner who wants to create a company in Andorra and obtain self-employed residence:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Apply for <strong>foreign investment authorization<\/strong> from the competent ministry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reserve the <strong>corporate name<\/strong> at the Registry of Commercial Companies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Draft and sign the <strong>articles of association<\/strong> before a notary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Register the company in the <strong>Registry of Commercial Companies<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obtain the <strong>business or industry registration<\/strong> number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete the <strong>labor and Andorran Social Security (CASS) registrations<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit the <strong>immigration authorization reservation<\/strong> and, within 6 months, provide proof of all requirements, <strong>including the final and non-refundable deposit of \u20ac50,000 to the AFA if applicable<\/strong> (except in case of denial of the initial authorization).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open a <strong>corporate bank account<\/strong> at an Andorran entity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With all documentation in order, it takes an average of <strong>4 to 5 months<\/strong> to have a fully operational company. This period does not include the business authorization. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having an expert management team significantly reduces deadlines and avoids costly errors.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How much does it cost to create a company in Andorra?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main costs of <strong>incorporating a company in Andorra<\/strong> include:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Foreign investment authorization fees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notary fees (incorporation deeds).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Registry of Commercial Companies fees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Registration in the business or industry registry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deposit of <strong>\u20ac50,000 to the AFA<\/strong> (for self-employed residence of non-qualified foreign professionals, except for digital\/innovative projects).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Management and legal advisory fees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <strong>OCPS<\/strong>, we offer <strong>fees adapted to each type of client<\/strong>, so you have no economic surprises during the process.
