Which Liechtenstein Legal Entities Can You Set Up?

Depending on your purpose — wealth planning, investment, operations, or asset protection — Liechtenstein offers several company types:
  • AG (Aktiengesellschaft) – Suitable for larger capital investments and public or private equity
  • GmbH – Flexible and commonly used for SMEs and owner-managed companies
  • Stiftung (Foundation) – Designed for private clients, inheritance planning, and philanthropic purposes
  • Trust reg. – Regulated trust entity ideal for estate and succession structuring
Each type comes with tailored compliance and structuring needs — we’ll help you choose the right path.
