Why Lithuania

Lithuania is the largest of the three Baltic economies: an EU and eurozone member with a strong manufacturing base, the ice-free port of Klaipėda and, in Vilnius, one of Europe’s leading fintech centres. Its companies sell across the EU, the Nordics and beyond.

For buyers that means EU market access, a skilled and multilingual workforce and costs below Western Europe. For owners it means interest from Nordic, German and Polish buyers as well as Lithuanian ones.

New to the market? Our guide on how to buy a business in Lithuania covers the basics.

Selling your Lithuanian company

For founders who want Baltic, Nordic and EU buyers, a defensible price and a calm handover.

Valuation you can defend

A market-tested value built on normalised earnings, so the price holds when the buyer checks the numbers.

Nordic and EU buyers

Strategic and financial buyers from the Nordics, Germany, Poland and the Baltics, screened before they see your name.

Confidential process

An anonymous profile first; full information only under a signed NDA.

Clean handover

Management changes, bank mandates, registry filings and licences are planned before signing.

Buying a business in Lithuania

For entrepreneurs, investors and companies looking for an established business in the Baltics.

Deal sourcing

UAB companies in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda and the regions, including off-market opportunities from our partner network.

Due diligence

Financial, tax, legal and employment checks, coordinated with Lithuanian lawyers and accountants.

Licensed businesses

Payment, e-money and other licensed firms need the regulator’s approval for a new owner; we plan the timetable around it.

Strategic sectors

We check early whether the target matters to national security and needs government approval.

How a Lithuanian deal runs with GBCORP

Six stages, one point of contact. Most sales complete in four to nine months.

01 · Valuation and preparation

We review the financial statements, normalise earnings and prepare the sale documents.

02 · Confidential approach

An anonymous teaser, then an information memorandum to screened buyers under NDA.

03 · Offers and letter of intent

We compare offers on price, structure and certainty, then agree heads of terms.

04 · Due diligence

The buyer’s advisers review finance, tax, contracts, staff and licences through a data room.

05 · Signing

The share purchase agreement is signed, before a notary where the law requires it, once pre-emption rights are cleared.

06 · Registration and handover

The new shareholders and beneficial owners are reported to the registers, and staff and customers are introduced.

Lithuanian rules that shape the deal

The points that decide structure, timing and cost in a Lithuanian transaction.

Pre-emption rights. Shareholders of a UAB generally have a pre-emptive right to buy shares offered to an outsider; it is waived or exercised before signing.
Notarial form. Depending on the size of the stake and the price, the share purchase agreement may need to be signed before a notary; our partners confirm this for each deal.
Registers. Changes in shareholders are reported to the register of legal entities’ participants (JADIS), and beneficial owners to the beneficial ownership register (JANGIS).
Strategic sectors. Investors acquiring companies of importance to national security, in sectors such as energy, transport and communications, need approval from a government commission first.
Regulated licences. Fintech, payment and other licensed firms need the regulator’s approval when a qualifying holding changes hands.
Staff in asset deals. When a business is transferred, employees move to the buyer on their existing terms under the Labour Code.

Local partners, one point of contact

GBCORP runs each Lithuanian deal end to end with our local partner network: lawyers, certified accountants and notaries. We work with owners and buyers in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Panevėžys and the regions.

We speak your language. Our advisors work in Lithuanian and English. We handle transactions up to USD 20 million; fees are agreed per mandate and quoted on request.

Questions about buying and selling in Lithuania

The questions we hear first, answered plainly.

How long does it take to sell a business in Lithuania?

Most company sales take four to nine months from valuation to registration. Finding the right buyer and due diligence take most of that time, and licensed businesses allow extra time for the regulator’s approval.

How are shares in a Lithuanian UAB transferred?

Through a written share purchase agreement, signed before a notary where the law requires it. The other shareholders’ pre-emption rights are cleared first, and the change is reported to the participants’ register (JADIS).

Can a foreigner buy a business in Lithuania?

Yes. Lithuania is open to foreign buyers. Companies important to national security need government approval for a significant stake, regulated firms such as payment institutions need the regulator’s approval, and agricultural land carries extra conditions.

Why do Nordic and German buyers look at Lithuania?

For EU market access, a skilled workforce, competitive costs and the euro. Many Lithuanian companies already serve Nordic and German customers, which makes them natural acquisitions for groups from those markets.

What size of business does GBCORP handle in Lithuania, and what does it cost?

We advise on transactions up to USD 20 million, from owner-run companies to established regional firms. Fees are agreed per mandate and quoted on request after a confidential first conversation.
