A small partnership (MB) is the most popular small business form in Lithuania. It can be set up within a few days, but in practice registration often stalls over details: an unsuitable name, incomplete articles, or a missing consent from the owner of the premises. Below is a plan that keeps the process running smoothly.<\/p>\n

1. Choose a name<\/h2>\n

The name must be unique and meet Lithuanian language requirements. First check that it is not already taken at the Register of Legal Entities. If the name matters to you, you can reserve it in advance so that no one else takes it while you prepare the other documents.<\/p>\n

2. Prepare the MB articles<\/h2>\n

The articles are the MB's main document. They set out the MB's activities, members' rights, management, how decisions are made and how profit is distributed. When registering online you can use standard articles, but it is worth checking whether they suit your situation \u2013 especially if the MB has several members.<\/p>\n

3. Arrange a registered office<\/h2>\n

An MB must have a registered office address. If the company is registered in premises you don't own, you will need the owner's consent. This is the document most often forgotten, and it is why registration gets delayed.<\/p>\n

4. Register the MB at the Register of Legal Entities<\/h2>\n

The most convenient way is to register the MB online through the Centre of Registers self-service portal. Once the company is registered, the data is automatically passed to VMI and the company receives its legal entity code.<\/p>\n

5. Open a bank account<\/h2>\n

Banks ask for information about your planned activities, clients and cash flows. Answer in detail \u2013 a poorly described business is a common reason for delays in opening an account.<\/p>\n

6. Arrange your accounting before the first invoice<\/h2>\n

The first invoice issued or received must already be recorded. Decide in advance who will keep the books, how documents will be passed on and how the MB members will receive payouts.<\/p>\n
