Company Formation in the Czech Republic: An Operational s.r.o., Ready for Business

A ready-made Czech s.r.o. transferred to you with the essentials in place: a registered address in Prague, help choosing a bank or EU fintech account and preparing the application, and accounting set up with our partner accountants. You can start working in the Czech Republic without waiting for a new registration.

A ready-made s.r.o. is already entered in the Commercial Register, so there is no wait for a new registration in the Czech Republic. If you need a specific name, the company can be renamed after the transfer through a registry amendment.

A ready-made company that is already registered for VAT in the Czech Republic. Its VAT number is valid across the EU, so you can invoice EU business clients from day one without waiting for a VAT registration. Availability is limited, so please ask us for the current options.

The operational company package starts from €2,500 and a VAT-active company from €4,500. A new registration on its own starts from €1,480, with the setup services added separately. Running costs: mail handling and forwarding on request, accounting and tax reporting on request and business consultation with a lawyer €280 per hour. We provide a detailed quote for your project.

Yes. Czech company law sets no nationality or residency requirement for members of an s.r.o., and one person can found it alone. Opening a bank account depends on each bank’s own onboarding rules.

No. The executive (jednatel) can live anywhere, and a member can also be the only executive. If a legal entity is appointed as executive, it must name one natural person to act for it.

The founding deed of an s.r.o. is a notarial deed, and a power of attorney to sign it needs your officially certified signature, from a notary in your country. For use in the Czech Republic it usually also needs an apostille if your country has joined the Hague Apostille Convention, or consular legalisation if it has not, plus a Czech translation.

Legal assistance treaties with some countries remove this extra certification (see the Ministry of Foreign Affairs); we confirm what applies to your country.

Yes, for a new registration, as long as it can be told apart from names already registered. Check it in the public register search; there is no name reservation, so we check it again before the notary drafts the deed. A ready-made company can be renamed after the transfer.

Yes. The company’s seat must be in the Czech Republic and its address is shown in the Commercial Register, with the owner’s written consent to use it. Our packages include a registered address in Prague.

Czech banks set their own onboarding rules, and some ask the executive to attend in person. For a quick start, most of our clients open an account online with EU providers such as Revolut, Wise or Paysera, and add a Czech bank later. Our banking advisory supports you through both, but the bank makes the final decision.

Every s.r.o. keeps accounts, files an annual corporate income tax return and deposits its financial statements in the Collection of Documents of the Commercial Register within 12 months of the year end. VAT-registered companies also file VAT returns and control statements. Our accounting partners can handle all of it.

Usually 1 to 2 weeks from the point we have received all required documents, including the signed power of attorney. That covers preparing and translating the documents, filing, and processing by the Commercial Register (up to 5 working days).
