SilkRoute Commodities LLC
Hong Kong trading company · Russia LLC + VTB Bank · China-Russia agricultural trade
Background

SilkRoute Commodities, a Hong Kong-based agricultural commodities trading company, had been facilitating grain and oilseed exports from Russia to China through a Russian intermediary agent. As annual trade volumes grew to USD 18 million, the founders decided to establish their own Russian LLC to internalise the agent margin, contract directly with Russian grain elevators, and open a VTB Bank account to receive RUB payments and manage cross-border RUB-USD-HKD settlement.

Challenge

SilkRoute needed to register a Russian LLC, obtain a Russian tax identification number (INN) for the Hong Kong director, register for VAT, open a VTB Bank multi-currency corporate account, and establish a business address in Moscow — all within 6 weeks, to align with the Russian winter wheat export season. The Hong Kong director had no prior experience with Russian corporate law or banking.

Our Solution

Echo Olesen Global registered SilkRoute Commodities LLC with the Federal Tax Service, obtained the INN for the Hong Kong director, registered for VAT, provided a Moscow business address, and opened a VTB Bank multi-currency corporate account through our dedicated channel. The full setup was completed in 5 weeks, and SilkRoute contracted directly with three Russian grain elevators for the winter wheat season.

EuroTech Components LLC
German industrial parts distributor · Russia LLC · Eurasian distribution hub
Background

EuroTech Components, a Munich-based distributor of industrial automation components, had been supplying Russian industrial customers through a Moscow-based distributor for seven years. Following the distributor's retirement, EuroTech decided to establish its own Russian LLC to maintain direct customer relationships, manage the Moscow warehouse, and hire local sales staff. The company needed a Russian LLC, a VTB Bank account for RUB invoicing, and a business address in Moscow.

Challenge

EuroTech needed to register a Russian LLC with a German sole founder, obtain a Russian INN for the German director, register for VAT and social insurance, open a VTB Bank corporate account, and hire two Moscow-based sales engineers — all within 8 weeks, to ensure continuity of supply to key Russian industrial customers during the distributor transition.

Our Solution

Echo Olesen Global registered EuroTech Components LLC, obtained the Russian INN for the German director, registered for VAT and social insurance, provided a Moscow business address, and opened a VTB Bank corporate account. We also assisted with the employment contracts for the two Moscow-based sales engineers. The full setup was completed in 7 weeks, ensuring uninterrupted supply to EuroTech's Russian customers.
