What is a ready-made company?
In short
A ready-made s.r.o. is an already incorporated Czech limited company, entered in the Commercial Register, with fully paid-up share capital, that has never carried out any business activity. It exists precisely so that it can be transferred to a new owner immediately. It is also called a shelf company.
Why ready-made companies exist
Forming a new company takes time – the founding deed must be drawn up, the share capital deposited, a trade licence obtained and the entry in the Commercial Register awaited. A ready-made company has all of this behind it, so the buyer skips the waiting and takes over an existing legal entity.
Ready-made versus a tailor-made formation
| Ready-made s.r.o. | Tailor-made formation | |
|---|---|---|
| When you can act | From signature of the documents | Once the company comes into existence |
| Time to start | Practically immediately | Approx. 5 days from starting the process |
| Previous persons in the full extract | Will appear | Will not appear |
| Price | CZK 18,900 | from CZK 16,900 |
Is buying a ready-made company safe?
The essential condition is that the company has genuinely never traded – otherwise past liabilities could pass to the new owner. We guarantee this for our companies: they have never carried out any activity and are entirely free of debt. The share capital is 100% paid up.
