How to set up a company in Greece
If you are considering setting up a company in Greece, you must be aware of the local Greek laws concerning business registration.
To register a business in Greece, one of the first steps you will generally need to take is obtaining a Greek Tax Identification Number (AFM or TIN). Depending on your circumstances, this may be obtained remotely or through an authorised representative.
You may also need to obtain access to the Greek tax authority’s online services through TAXISnet or the applicable digital registration system.
Our partner business accountants can assist you with this process, while Tsaks Consulting team members help coordinate the required services, often allowing you to complete much of the process from the comfort of your own home.

Client testimonials
I was a freelancer, and I needed to register a company in Greece. I looked into doing it myself, however, it was too difficult and challenging. Tsaks Consulting guided me on how to register my business in Greece. Their partner accountants took care of the company/business registration process, which was great. There were also some government regulations which I had to adhere to and comply with. The Tsaks Consulting Greece team firstly helped me identify which government regulations I had to comply with, and secondly, helped me coordinate the relevant regulatory applications for my entity. I was happy with the process and their service and would recommend any person or business looking to operate and register in Greece to contact the Tsaks Consulting team.
