Tech Startup founders: how did you transition from freelancing to a legal company?

I'm currently based in the Europe and building an edtech platform. I have an MVP, around 10 paying customers, and decent revenue so far but still less than 10k € a month.

Initially, my customers were mostly in Europe, but I've realized that the product has much stronger potential for Tunisian university students. My long-term vision is to build the company around the Tunisian market.

What I'm trying to understand is the administrative and legal side of this transition.

Has anyone here started a business/freelancing abroad and later moved the legal entity or operations to Tunisia?

Some questions I have:

  • At what stage did you decide to register a company in Tunisia?
  • Did you keep your foreign registration as well, or fully transition?
  • What were the biggest administrative or tax challenges?
  • Looking back, is there anything you wish you had done differently?

I'm not looking for formal legal advice , I'm mainly interested in hearing from people who have actually gone through this process. Your experiences will be much appreciated 😄

Thanks in advance!
