How we help you open a company in Czech Republic
One partner for all questions
A Czech setup is straightforward, but residency for non-EU founders, VAT and R&D planning need to be aligned at the start.
Futura Digital manages the entire journey — from initial structuring to a fully operational company with bank accounts and a resident team.
- Incorporation: s.r.o. registration with the Commercial Register, statutory address and trade licence.
- Tax setup: CIT and VAT registration, R&D deduction planning where applicable.
- Residency: EU Blue Card, employee card or zivnostenske opravneni for founders and key staff.
- Banking: corporate account with a Czech or EU bank — compliance pack and business plan.
- Ongoing: accounting, payroll, statutory filings and changes in the Commercial Register.
