Most partnerships fall into one of the patterns below. If yours doesn’t, talk to us — we’re flexible.

Subcontracting Referral / Co-branded Licensed back-end Affiliate

What Capture provides Estonian OÜ formation (e-Residency or notarial Power of Attorney), legal seat / registered address, and related administrative services on your client’s behalf. What you retain Client relationship. How it works Master subcontracting agreement establishes the framework. Per-client Statement of Work covers each engagement.

### Referral or co-branded for foreign tax and legal advisors

Best for Tax advisors, accountants, lawyers, and corporate consultants outside Estonia — particularly in the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, Germany, and India — whose clients want to incorporate in Estonia. What Capture provides The full Estonian formation pipeline: company registration, registered address, contact person, and ongoing compliance. We can deliver this as a co-branded or customized experience that matches your brand and flow. What you get A reliable, regulated partner you can recommend with confidence. Choose between named referrals (your client knows who’s doing the work) or a co-branded, customized experience — we still perform our regulatory obligations, but the touchpoints fit your brand. Compensation options

- **Referral fee** — per order
- **Recurring revenue share** — % of ongoing service fees
- **Partner margin** — you set your client’s price; pay Capture our partner price.

How it works A short partnership agreement covers commercial terms, brand usage (if any), and client KYC handling.

### Licensed back-end for Estonian consultants

Best for Estonian consultants, advisors, and business services firms who advise clients on Estonian company structures but don’t hold an FIU ÄTP license themselves. What Capture provides The regulated work — formation, registered address, contact person services — under our license, on your client’s behalf. What you provide The client relationship, advisory work, any tax or accounting services already in your scope. Why this matters Providing trust and company services without a license is a regulatory offence under RahaPTS. Working with a licensed partner is the cleanest way to keep advising on Estonian structures without exposing your firm to FIU enforcement risk. How it works Cooperation agreement governs how you refer clients to Capture’s regulated services. You can keep the rest of the engagement entirely under your firm.

Common questions

## Frequently asked

What’s the difference between subcontracting and a referral relationship?

Subcontracting means we work as your vendor — you keep the client relationship, brand the work as yours (or co-branded), and handle billing. We’re invisible to the end client unless you choose otherwise. Referral means we take over the client and pay you a fee or revenue share. Most international corporate services firms use subcontracting; most foreign tax advisors prefer referral.

Who handles KYC and AML on the underlying clients?

Both of us, in different ways. Estonian RahaPTS requires Capture to apply due diligence measures to the underlying client — including identity verification, beneficial ownership identification, and sanctions screening. We can rely on KYC documentation you’ve already collected (under Section 23 of our procedural rules and Article 27 of the EU AML Directive) provided you’re a regulated obligated entity. The biometric identity verification step itself must be performed directly with the underlying UBO; we cannot accept passport copies submitted on their behalf.

What happens to the client relationship if our partnership ends?

Depends on the partnership type. In subcontracting and licensed back-end arrangements, your clients remain your clients. In referral arrangements, the client typically stays with whoever originated the relationship. The specific terms are governed by the partnership agreement — we’re flexible and document this clearly upfront.

Are you licensed for crypto, gambling, or other regulated industries?

No. Our FIU license covers Trust and Company Service Provider activities. We don’t form companies for gambling, weapons/munitions, or other prohibited sectors. We can form companies for fintech, SaaS, e-commerce, consulting, holding structures, and most non-regulated businesses. Crypto-adjacent activities (e.g. a SaaS firm that takes crypto payments) are case-by-case with enhanced due diligence.

Do you offer accounting and payroll?

Not directly — Capture focuses on formation, registered address, contact person, and administrative compliance. If you or your client need accounting or payroll support, we can recommend suitable software for self-service setups, or help find a partner provider that fits the specific need.

How quickly can we onboard a partner?

Typical timeline: 2 weeks from first contact to signed agreement. The bottleneck is usually our partner’s internal vendor onboarding process, not ours.
