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.

    We are very satisfied with Nexova as our trustee. Thanks to the Teams group chat, I can always count on very fast response times (of a few minutes). The Teams Chat group is great. With our old trustee, we had to write mails and always had to wait a long time for an answer and on top of that we were charged for every little question. Fortunately, this is not the case with Nexova.

Nexova handled everything from the reminder with threat of termination, to representation in court, to the police eviction quickly, efficiently and also inexpensively. Many thanks for the valuable help.
