The notary: legal guarantor
of your act of incorporation

In Luxembourg, the creation of a SARL, SA or Holding Soparfi requires the intervention of a notary to authenticate the statutes and certify the deposit of capital. Fidustra selects and coordinates partner notaries familiar with creation files.

When and why is the intervention of the notary obligatory

The Luxembourg law on commercial companies (LSC) requires the notarial deed for legal forms with subscribed and paid-up capital upon incorporation. The notary fulfills three essential functions:

  • Status authentication: The notary gives legal force and enforceability to the company's statutes.

  • Capital verification: It certifies the deposit of the share capital into the blocked account opened in the bank.

  • Filing with the RCS: It transmits the act of incorporation to the Trade Register for official publication.

For forms without notarial obligation (SARL-S, SCS, SNC), the statutes can be under private signature — Fidustra draws them up directly. For SCIs, notarial intervention is recommended in the presence of contributions in kind or real estate.

Notary fees vary depending on the capital and the complexity of the statutes (1,500 – 4,000 € excluding tax on average).

The process of a notarial signature in Luxembourg

Fidustra prepares the entire file in advance so that the visit to the notary is quick and without a hitch.

1
Preparation of the draft statutes by Fidustra

Fidustra draws up a complete draft statute, adapted to your activity and your structure. This project is submitted to the notary in advance for validation.

2
Opening the bank account and depositing capital

The partner bank opens a blocked account into which the capital is paid. It issues a certificate of deposit sent to the notary.

3
Making an appointment and signing in front of the notary

The founders (or their representatives) sign the deed of incorporation in the presence of the notary. Typical duration: 1 hour. A notarized power of attorney is possible if you are abroad.

4
Filing of the deed in the Trade Register

The notary files the deed with the RCS in the following days. The company is registered and receives its identification number. The capital is then released to the current account.

5
Delivery of the creation kit by Fidustra

Fidustra collects the official documents, organizes them and gives you your complete creation kit: signed statutes, RCS extract, VAT number, LEI code if applicable.
