Setting up a company in Croatia

This service is dedicated to foreign companies or citizens that are interested in starting or expanding their business in Croatia. We provide assistance for setting up a limited liability company in just 3 days (upon receiving all the required documentation from the client) and we familiarize our clients with Croatian tax regulations. Our program can be modified to every aspect of our clients’ needs whether it is a project company or a branch company with prospects of expending in the future.

Facts:

1. The minimal founding capital for setting up a company is  €2.500,00 which can be used for all company activities once the process of starting a company has been completed. In case of setting up a simple limited liability company, the minimal founding capital is €1,00.
2. Setting up a company can be done in 2 ways:

a) Upon the client’s arrival in Croatia, the client’s passport is needed for obtaining a tax number.

A client needs to appoint the director of the company. The owner of the company,  the client, is usually the person responsible, but the director can also be a third party.

b) If the client is not present in Croatia – the copy of the client’s passport and a special notarized accreditation (power of attorney) is needed.

Upon receiving the client’s application, we send a power of attorney by e-mail, which must be notarized in the client’s country along with two other documents to be signed. The client sends these documents back to us by post. Upon receiving these documents, we can begin founding the company.

a) name check
b) preparation of registration forms
