Company structure and document flow
Choose between limited and joint-stock companies according to capital, shareholder numbers, share transfers, fundraising and management. Where a shareholder is a foreign legal entity, authenticating and translating authority documents, registry extracts and representative resolutions may take time.
MERSIS articles of association, a potential tax number, an address and the commercial registry appointment are connected steps. If the activity requires special permission, investigate pre-incorporation approval separately.
Work that begins after registration
Registration brings tax-office verification, statutory books, electronic notifications, a bank account, beneficial ownership reporting and, where there are employees, SGK obligations.
Payments of salary, services, interest or dividends to a foreign shareholder require withholding and treaty analysis. The incorporation file is the first financial control file for the operating model.
