Step-by-Step Migration Process

1

Choose Your New Provider

Research and compare providers based on your specific needs. Consider pricing, features, support quality, and banking options.

Tip: Sign up for a demo or trial with your new provider before canceling your old one.
2

Request Documents from Current Provider

You'll need: Accounting records, Tax filings, Bank statements, Contracts, Invoices, and Company documents.

3

Notify Your Current Provider

Give proper notice according to your service agreement. Most providers require 30 days notice.

Important

Don't cancel until your new provider confirms they're ready to take over.
4

Update Business Register

Your new provider will handle the legal address change and contact person update in the Estonian Business Register.

5

Transfer Accounting & Operations

Your new provider will import your accounting history and set up your account. This typically takes 1-2 weeks.

6

Complete Migration

Once everything is transferred, you're running on your new provider. Confirm final cancellation with your old provider.

Common Migration Pitfalls

Gap in Legal Address

Ensure there's no gap between providers. Your company must always have a valid legal address in Estonia. Coordinate timing carefully.

Lost Accounting Data

Download and back up all your accounting data before canceling. Some providers may delete your data after account closure.

Bank Account Continuity

If your bank account is through your provider (like Xolo's Holvi integration), you may need to set up a new bank account. Plan for this.

Pending Tax Filings

Don't switch during tax filing periods. Complete any pending VAT returns or annual reports before initiating migration.
