How to buy a ready-made company
In short
The purchase has four steps: enquiry and selection, preparation of documents, signing during a single visit, and registration of the changes. You can act for the company from the moment of signature.
What to prepare
- Identity document of the future director and shareholder.
- Company name – ideally two or three options.
- Address of the seat, or a request for our registered office service.
- Scope of business – whether an unqualified trade is sufficient.
What to arrange right after takeover
- Open a bank account for the company.
- Consider VAT registration if your activity requires it.
- Arrange bookkeeping and payroll.
- Notify any additional trade licences.
Common pitfalls
A confusable name. The registry court will reject a name too similar to an existing one – have alternatives ready.
An unexpected notarial deed. Changing the name, the seat to another municipality or the number of directors costs an extra CZK 5,900 excluding VAT.
