Questions about this service
Which is better — živnosť or s.r.o.?
For starting out and for solo services a živnosť is usually cheaper and simpler to run. An s.r.o. makes sense with partners, employees, or turnover above roughly €50–60k. We will calculate both during the consultation.
How much money do I need in the account?
The police require proof of funds for living and for the business. The amount depends on the form and the year — we give you the current figures at the consultation.
