Why a registered office is mandatory
Every Andorran company (SL, SLU, SA, or SAU) is legally required to have its registered office within the Principality. This is established by Article 4 of Law 20/2007 on public limited and limited liability companies. Without a valid registered office, there is no inscription in the Registre de Societats, no NRT (Tax Registration Number), and no operational company.
There is an important distinction that many people confuse: the registered office and the fiscal domicile do not have to be the same address. The registered office is the legal address stated in the bylaws and the commercial registry. The fiscal domicile is the address for tax purposes. In practice, many self-employed people in Andorra register their home as their fiscal domicile and use a coworking space or business centre as their registered office.
⚖️ Watch out for economic substance requirements: Under Law 95/2010 on Corporate Tax, a company is only considered tax resident in Andorra if both its registered office and its effective management centre are in the Principality. Registering an address without real activity can result in rejection of the application or problems with the tax authority (Tributs).
Legal requirements for domiciliation
For a registered office to be valid before the Comú (parish council) and the Registre de Comerç i Indústria, there are three mandatory technical requirements:
1. Real physical address
It must be a space where business activity can be verified. A PO box is not acceptable. If it is a private residence, there must be a dedicated space for business activity, and an inspector from the Departament de Comerç may come to verify it.
2. Butlletí elèctric (electrical connection certificate)
An individual electrical connection certificate in the name of the company or the premises holder. It proves that the space is real and operational.
3. Valid fire extinguisher contract
The premises must have maintained extinguishers and an active contract with an authorised company. This is verified at the commercial opening stage.
💡 Practical tip: If another company is already registered at the same address, your commercial opening application may be put on hold until you submit additional documentation justifying the coexistence. At EECC-registered coworkings, this problem does not arise because they are regulated to host multiple companies.
The 4 options for registering your company address
Option A: your own home
You can register your company at your flat. It is legal and the cheapest option. But you need to meet the three requirements (verifiable address, butlletí, extinguishers), have a dedicated space for the activity, and accept that an inspector may visit. You cannot register third-party companies from your home — only your own.
Option B: rented or purchased commercial premises
If you rent or buy commercial premises, you have maximum flexibility. But commercial rents in Andorra la Vella or Escaldes-Engordany do not drop below €800–1,200/month for a small space, plus fit-out costs. This only makes sense if you need public-facing space or an on-site team.
Option C: coworking with domiciliation service
The most popular option among digital entrepreneurs and nomads with an SLU. You pay a monthly fee and get a legal address, mail handling, access to meeting rooms, and you automatically meet all technical requirements. EECC-registered coworkings are registered with the Govern and can domicile multiple companies without restrictions.
Option D: gestoría (accountant/admin firm) with domiciliation service
Many gestorías offer registered office services as part of their company setup and accounting packages. You get the address, mail handling, and on top of that they manage the tax and administrative side. It is the all-in-one option but the most expensive overall if you add up the gestoría fees plus domiciliation.

Indicative prices from early 2026. May vary depending on contract length, promotions, and availability. Always check directly with the operator.
⚠️ About €25/month domiciliation: The cheapest option (address + mail forwarding only) may not be sufficient if your activity requires premises with an electrical certificate in the company’s name. For regulated commercial activities, you will need at least a fixed desk or private office. Always ask the operator exactly what their plan includes.
EECC regulation: what changed in 2024
Until recently, coworkings and domiciliation services in Andorra operated in a grey area. That changed with Llei 42/2022 de l’Economia Digital, l’Emprenedoria i Innovació, which created the EECC category (Empreses d’Explotació d’Espais Compartits de Treball — shared workspace companies) and established a mandatory registry.
The implementing regulation was approved in June 2024. Since then, all coworking spaces offering domiciliation are required to register in an official Govern registry. The regulation sets minimum surface requirements, authorisation procedures, and a penalty framework covering minor, serious, and very serious infractions.
The first plaques were awarded to registered spaces in March 2025. The main operators (Ingeni, SMART, HiveFive, Monday, Andorra Work Center, Tramuntana) are already registered with their EECC numbers.
⚖️ What does this mean for you? If you contract domiciliation, make sure the space is registered as an EECC. If it is not, your registered office could be challenged. On each operator’s website you should see their registration number (e.g. “EECC núm 7/2025 – Registre Govern d’Andorra”).
Common mistakes that block your commercial opening
Choosing cheap domiciliation without checking it qualifies for a commercial opening. A postal-only domiciliation may not be accepted by the Comú for the Targeta de Comerç if your activity requires a physically verifiable premises.
Not having the butlletí elèctric or fire extinguishers in place. These are checked before the commercial opening is granted. If you use an EECC coworking, they handle it. If you use your home, you need these in the company’s name before applying.
Registering at an address where another company already exists. If it is not an EECC space, having two or more companies at the same address can put your application on hold. The Comú checks this.
Confusing registered office with tax residency. Having a registered office in Andorra does not automatically make you a tax resident. You need to live there for more than 183 days and have your effective management centre in the Principality. If you are also considering relocating as an individual, read our guide on living in Andorra.
Not budgeting for the CASS self-employed contribution. On top of domiciliation costs, as director of your SLU you will pay around €500/month to the CASS (Andorran social security). Many people overlook this when calculating total costs.
Step-by-step process
From idea to first invoice:
1. Company name reservation. Choose 3 possible names and submit the application to Govern. Duration: ~13 days. Cost: ~€5.56 in fees.
2. Foreign investment authorisation. If your stake exceeds 10% of the capital and you are not Andorran, you need this authorisation first. Duration: ~1 month.
3. Choose your registered office. Contract an EECC coworking, rent premises, or prepare your home with an electrical certificate and extinguishers. You need this BEFORE going to the notary.
4. Open a bank account for incorporation. At one of the three Andorran banks. Deposit the share capital (minimum €3,000 for an SL). Bank due diligence can be the slowest step in the entire process.
5. Notarial deed. Public deed with the bylaws, registered office, and bank certificate. Followed by inscription in the Registre de Societats. Duration: ~2 weeks.
6. Tax registration and NRT. Apply for the Número de Registre Tributari at the Departament de Tributs. Duration: ~1 week.
7. Commercial opening (Targeta de Comerç). Submit the application at the Comú of the parish where the business is located. The electrical certificate and extinguishers are verified here. Duration: 2–3 weeks. You cannot invoice without this.
8. CASS registration. Enrol the company and yourself as a self-employed worker in social security. Mandatory before starting activity.
💡 Realistic total timeline: Between 2 and 3 months if everything goes smoothly. The bottleneck is usually the bank account opening (Andorran banks are very strict on due diligence) and the Comú’s approval.
