Dieses Profil geht von der kleinsten Unternehmensform aus: einem Kleinstunternehmen (weniger als 10 Beschäftigte, bis zu 2 Mio. € Umsatz) ohne Personal, weshalb Pflichten rund um die Beschäftigung von Mitarbeitenden entfallen. Es deckt weiterhin die wiederkehrenden Grundpflichten ab, die fast jedes Unternehmen hat - USt-Voranmeldungen und andere Steuererklärungen, den Jahresabschluss - sowie EU-weite Regelungen wie den AI Act oder den Cyber Resilience Act, die unabhängig von der Unternehmensgröße gelten. Stellen Sie Ihre erste Mitarbeiterin oder Ihren ersten Mitarbeiter ein, oder wachsen Sie über die Kleinstunternehmensgröße hinaus, passt ein anderes Profil besser.
Diese Seite geht von einem bestimmten Ausgangsprofil aus: Kleinstunternehmen ohne Mitarbeitende, in Estland. Das ist ein Ausgangspunkt, keine maßgeschneiderte Beratung - Ihre tatsächlichen Pflichten hängen von Ihrer genauen Branche, Ihrem Umsatz und Ihrer Arbeitsweise ab.
