Projektiettevõtted

Projektiettevõtted, often translated as project companies or project-based companies, are business entities formed for the specific purpose of undertaking and completing a particular project. Unlike traditional companies that might have a broad range of ongoing operations, projektiettevõtted are typically established with a defined start and end date, linked to the lifecycle of the project they are created to manage.

The primary characteristic of a projektiettevõte is its project-specific focus. This can range from constructing a large infrastructure project, developing a new software system, or executing a complex research and development initiative. Once the project is successfully completed and its objectives met, the projektiettevõte is often dissolved.

The formation of a projektiettevõte can offer several advantages. It allows for a clear separation of project-specific finances, resources, and risks from other business activities. This can simplify management, improve accountability, and facilitate the attraction of dedicated project financing. Furthermore, it enables the assembly of a specialized team with the precise skills and expertise required for the project.

While often temporary, projektiettevõtted are legally established entities with their own governance structures, management teams, and operational processes. They are subject to the same legal and regulatory requirements as other businesses during their operational phase. The concept is particularly prevalent in industries with large-scale, time-bound undertakings, such as construction, energy, and specialized manufacturing.
