  • Do you want to avoid years of study and experience verification?
  • Are you struggling to find a responsible representative, causing your business to be on hold?

In the Czech Republic, many business activities require a responsible representative (odpovědný zástupce) — a person who confirms the company's professional qualifications for the licensing authorities. Without them, you cannot get a license for most craft, tied, and concession businesses (živnosti řemeslné, vázané a koncesované).

  2. Limited liability company (s.r.o.) — the most popular form for SMEs, income tax: 21%;
  3. Joint-stock company (a.s.) — stronger asset protection and investment options;
  4. Holding structure — greater capital protection and tax optimisation potential.
