In Luxembourg, companies are subject to accounting obligations defined by the Commercial Code and the Law of 19 December 2002, as amended, concerning the Trade and Companies Register, bookkeeping, and the annual accounts of businesses. These obligations vary depending on the legal form, size, and sector of the company.

Companies must:
  • Keep regular accounts using double-entry bookkeeping

  • Approval of the accounts by the general meeting: within 6 months after the financial year-end
  • Filing with the RCS: within 1 month after approval (i.e. within 7 months of the closing date)
Penalties apply in case of late or missing filings.

    • Curriculum Vitae (CV): A brief CV of the company’s directors and shareholders, showing off your professional journey.

    • Criminal Record Check: A clean criminal record for each director and shareholder (depending on the business type).
  4. Business Plan: An outline of your company’s objectives, strategy, and financial forecasts. Think of it as your company’s roadmap to success.
  5. Business License Documents (if applicable):
    • Trade License: For certain regulated activities, you’ll need to provide a trade license or specific industry permissions.
    • Professional Qualifications: Copies of any relevant certifications or qualifications if your business requires professional expertise (like legal or financial services).
    • Insurance Certificates: Proof of business insurance if your industry requires it.
  6. Company Structure Details:
    • Articles of Association: The company’s constitution outlining how it will be governed.
    • Shareholders’ Agreement: If applicable, a document defining the relationship between shareholders.
  7. Capital Deposit Confirmation: A certificate from a Luxembourg bank confirming the deposit of your company’s initial capital. Yes, money talks.
