Business Formation – Sole Proprietorship, IKE, OE
Start your own business without bureaucratic hassle — we handle the entire process, remotely throughout Greece.
What the service includes
We accompany you all the way from the idea to your first invoice: choosing the right legal form (sole proprietorship, IKE, OE, EE), selecting activity codes (KAD), business registration with AADE, GEMI and Chamber of Commerce enrolment, e-EFKA registration and activation of myDATA electronic books.
The right initial choice of legal form and tax planning determines your tax and social security costs for years. That is why the process always starts with an analysis of your specific case — not with one-size-fits-all solutions.
Which form suits you
A sole proprietorship is the simplest and most economical option for freelancers and small activities. An IKE (private company) offers personal asset protection, flexibility in shareholder percentages and often lower social security costs. Partnerships (OE/EE) suit simple collaborative structures. We will weigh the pros and cons together for your specific activity.
Remote formation — nationwide
The entire process is now handled electronically: AADE, e-GEMI, One-Stop Shop. With a simple authorisation we take care of everything, wherever you are in Greece — and after formation, we stay by your side with full accounting support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sole proprietorship or IKE — which suits me?
It depends on your activity, projected turnover, whether you will have partners and your social security profile. A sole proprietorship is simpler to run; an IKE offers personal asset protection and social security advantages. In our first meeting we analyse your case and make a documented recommendation.
How many days does business formation take?
A sole proprietorship can be completed within 1-3 working days if the paperwork is complete. Companies (IKE, OE, EE) via the One-Stop Shop usually need a few more days.
What are the formation costs?
Costs differ by legal form: a sole proprietorship has minimal administrative costs, while companies have GEMI fees, articles of association and possibly notary costs. We give you a detailed cost picture before any step.
Can I form my business remotely?
Yes, the process is handled electronically via AADE and e-GEMI with an authorisation. We serve founders all over Greece without requiring physical presence in Thessaloniki.
Do I need registered premises?
Yes, every business needs a declared registered seat — but for many activities it can be your home (owned or rented with permission of use). We guide you to the most advantageous option.
