Luxembourg: a favourable fiscal and legal environment for business setups
Luxembourg attracts companies with its political stability, advantageous taxation, and access to the European market. The legal framework makes it easy to set up flexible structures like branches or liaison offices. This environment encourages foreign groups to establish a satellite office to gain a regulatory or commercial local presence.
The administration is known for being responsive. Obtaining a VAT number, a business registration, or a professional address is not overly complicated. All of this is done in a multilingual environment tailored to international businesses.
Setting up a representative or secondary office at lower cost
Foreign groups looking to test the Luxembourg market or manage part of their operations can choose to open a satellite office. This doesn’t always require creating a separate legal entity. In some cases, a simple branch is enough.
This type of office limits structural costs. There’s no need to rent large private offices. It allows for operational flexibility while ensuring a stable address for formalities and business contacts.
Coworking as an agile tool for foreign group setups
For groups looking for an operational office without administrative burden, coworking spaces offer the ideal alternative. The offices are furnished, equipped, and available within a few days. Contracts are flexible and adjustable based on business activity.
A dedicated office in a coworking space allows you to occasionally host staff or clients, hold meetings, or centralise local management. All at a lower cost, without needing to recruit or sign a long-term lease.
What services are needed for a local setup?
To make a satellite office efficient, certain services are essential. You need high-speed internet, meeting rooms, and the option to use the address as a registered office.
Spaces like Colors meet these requirements. In addition to a physical office, companies can use the business center’s address as their professional address. All within a professional setting that enhances the company’s credibility.
Example cost for a satellite office in Luxembourg
At Colors, a coworking office costs €199 excl. VAT per month. This price includes the business address, access to the office, wifi, kitchen, cleaning, and even use of meeting rooms.
For an international company, this is a minimal investment for immediate operational presence. It allows for quick setup while maintaining complete control over expenses. The satellite office thus becomes a genuine strategic asset.
