How long does business registration take?

Registering as a sole trader is usually quick once we have everything we need. Forming a company takes a little longer. We give you a concrete timeline for your case.

What do I need to get started?

ID, a Greek tax number (AFM), Taxisnet credentials, details of your premises (for example a lease) and a description of the activity. We organise the rest together.

Can I run a business only for the summer season?

Yes, many businesses in Naxos are seasonal. Tax obligations continue all year, though, and we explain exactly what they are.
