Why Entrepreneurs Choose Liechtenstein for Company Formation
Liechtenstein has quietly built a reputation as one of the most business-friendly countries in Europe. Combining financial privacy, tax advantages, and access to EU markets via EEA membership, it is an ideal location for:
- Holding companies
- Private foundations
- IP management entities
- Family wealth vehicles
For founders who want a secure legal framework, political stability, and reliable cross-border access, Liechtenstein company formation offers a strong alternative to traditional EU jurisdictions.
At DeinDomizil, we support clients from the planning stage through incorporation, compliance, and optional Swiss connections.

Depending on your needs, you can choose from several legal structures:
- AG (Aktiengesellschaft) – A joint-stock company suitable for large investments

- Stiftung (Foundation) – Often used for asset protection and estate planning
- Trust reg. – Regulated trust suitable for private wealth structures
Each option comes with distinct compliance, reporting, and tax obligations — we’ll help you choose the right one.
