Choosing the right company type directly shapes your tax burden, scope of liability, and growth flexibility for years to come. Delays in the formation process — from missing documents to an incorrect activity code — can also push back your start date and any incentive eligibility tied to it.

## What's Included

**Company type advisory:** We evaluate sole proprietorship, limited company, or joint-stock company options together based on your income projection, ownership structure, and growth goals.

**Document preparation and filing:** We prepare all documents required by the trade registry and tax office and manage the application process on your behalf.

**Activity code (NACE) selection:** Choosing the NACE code that best fits your line of business directly affects your applicable tax rates and incentive eligibility — we handle this selection carefully.

**Liquidation and de-registration:** For businesses winding down, we manage the formal liquidation process or de-registration procedures in full.

## How Long Does It Take?

With the right documents in hand, sole proprietorship formation is typically completed within a few business days. Limited and joint-stock company formations may take somewhat longer due to capital commitment and notary procedures — we clarify this timeline upfront so you can plan around it.

## How We Support This

In our first meeting, we assess your business model, ownership structure and goals, and recommend the right company type. We then manage the entire application process and hand you off with your first month's bookkeeping already set up.
