Tax organization

An IKE requires immediate organization regarding VAT, myDATA, invoicing and accounting monitoring.

Support after formation

Company formation is only the first step. The actual tax and accounting obligations follow immediately after.

What is an IKE?

The Greek Private Company, known as IKE, is a flexible corporate form frequently used for new businesses, professional collaborations, investment structures and commercial activities.

IKE formation must be organized carefully, because the choices made at the beginning — company name, activities, business activity codes, registered office, management, share capital, tax regime and operating model — affect the company’s day-to-day operation.

This service concerns organized support for the formation of a Greek Private Company (IKE) and the proper tax registration of the company.

An IKE may be a suitable choice when a business requires a corporate form with separate legal personality, organized operation and potential for future growth.

  • New business activity requiring a corporate structure.
  • Collaboration between two or more persons under a company structure.
  • Business activity that requires organized tax and accounting monitoring.
  • Activity involving commercial transactions, contracts or B2B clients.
  • Cases where a sole proprietorship no longer serves the business model.
  • Business plans with prospects for growth, investment or entry of new partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an IKE suitable for every new business?

Not necessarily. The choice of legal form should be based on the business activity, partners, tax profile, social security burden and future plans of the business.

Does the starting fee include formation fees?

No. Fees, duties, platform costs, G.E.MI. expenses or any notarial expenses are not included in our office fee.

Is monthly accounting monitoring included?

No. IKE formation and monthly accounting monitoring are separate services. The monthly fee is determined after the formation, depending on the volume of work.

Does the selection of business activity codes require attention?

Yes. Business activity codes affect tax obligations, VAT, possible licenses, subsidies, myDATA and the overall operation of the company.

Is the conversion of an existing business into an IKE the same service?

No. The conversion or transformation of an existing business into an IKE is a separate service and requires a separate assessment.
