Articles of Association for an Estonian OÜ (Bilingual ET+EN)
The articles of association (põhikiri) are the constitution of your Estonian OÜ — field of activity, share capital, and how the company is managed. You need them at founding and again whenever you change share capital, add shareholders, or restructure management. The Business Register will not accept an English-only põhikiri, which is the exact friction e-residents hit.
What this document is
The põhikiri defines the company’s name, registered field, share-capital amount, share structure and management rules. Estonia has a standard model põhikiri (updated 1 June 2023); ours follows it and produces a bilingual version so you can actually read your own constitution.
Why generate it here

Frequently asked
Can my articles of association be in English only?
No — the Business Register requires the Estonian version. We produce the valid Estonian põhikiri and an English copy so you understand every clause.
When do I need to amend my põhikiri?
Typically when you change the share-capital amount, alter share classes, change the field of activity, or change management rules. Amendments are approved by a shareholders’ decision.
Is amending the articles notarial?
For an OÜ, põhikiri amendments are generally filed digitally through the register with a shareholders’ decision — no notary for standard changes.
