Setting up a company starts with choosing the form of presence, not with filling in a form. Have the legal and tax implications verified in advance.
01 / WHAT TO DO
Define the need
Compare a Czech company and a registered branch in terms of management, contracts and liability.
02 / WHAT TO DO
Verify the conditions
Prepare the company name, registered office and the identity of the founders and the persons acting on behalf of the company. For foreign documents, check the formal requirements.
03 / WHAT TO DO
Plan the next step
Define the scope of business and find out whether it requires a trade licence (živnostenské oprávnění), a concession or a special permit. Then complete the relevant entries and registrations.
What to have ready
- A decision on the form of presence
- Documents on the founders and the statutory body
- An overview of required licences
