How is the establishment of a company?

Setting up a company involves the following steps:

1. Drafting of the partnership agreement or founding deed at a notary.

2. Repayment of the share capital (e.g. at least CZK 1 for limited liability companies).

3. Registration of the company in the commercial register.

4. Registration with relevant authorities, e.g. at the tax office.

How is the liquidation of the company carried out?

Liquidation of a company occurs when it is dissolved without a legal successor. The liquidator determines the remaining assets, pays off the creditors and, if necessary, distributes the assets among the partners. The process starts with registration in the commercial register and takes place under the supervision of the court.
