Central administration and economic substance in Luxembourg

A Lux­em­bourg company must be able to show that its de­ci­sions are really taken in Lux­em­bourg. This is the heart of sub­stance.

In brief : Eco­nom­ic sub­stance and central ad­min­is­tra­tion of a company in Lux­em­bourg: place of de­ci­sion, res­i­dent di­rec­tors, premis­es and di­rec­tor­ships.

What is expected

An iden­ti­fi­able place of de­ci­sion, avail­able and com­pe­tent di­rec­tors, doc­u­ment­ed meet­ings, an ef­fec­tive office and an ac­tiv­i­ty con­sis­tent with the cor­po­rate object.

The role of directors

Di­rec­tors or man­agers must really perform their duties: read, decide and sign know­ing­ly. A nominal mandate exposes the company and the person holding it.

Our directorship offer

Within its cor­po­rate object, STYX Cor­po­rate Ser­vices can hold the roles of di­rec­tor, manager, chair­man or man­ag­ing di­rec­tor under an en­gage­ment letter. A mandate is never com­bined with an in­com­pat­i­ble role in the same company.

STYX Cor­po­rate Ser­vices holds company man­dates and co­or­di­nates for­mal­i­ties. The busi­ness re­la­tion­ship entry audit is a pre­lim­i­nary di­ag­no­sis, not a statu­to­ry audit of the ac­counts. It does not keep books, does not prepare ac­counts, and pro­vides no statu­to­ry audit, domi­cil­i­a­tion, or legal or tax advice, and holds no client funds. When a reg­u­lat­ed en­gage­ment is needed, it refers you to the com­pe­tent pro­fes­sion­al: notary, ap­proved statu­to­ry auditor, ac­coun­tant, domi­cil­i­a­tion agent.
