Steps to register a company in Austria
Starting a business in Austria involves several clear and structured steps to ensure full compliance with local regulations and a smooth registration process.
Choose your business structure
The most common option is a GmbH (limited liability company), though entrepreneurs can also register as sole proprietors or joint-stock companies depending on their goals and investment size.
Reserve a company name
Your chosen name must be unique and approved by the Austrian Commercial Register to prevent duplication or conflicts with existing businesses.
Prepare the required documents
You’ll need to prepare the Articles of Association, proof of share capital (minimum €35,000 for a GmbH), and other supporting legal documents necessary for incorporation.
Register with the commercial court
All documents are submitted to the Austrian Commercial Register through the competent commercial court for official approval and company formation.
Obtain a tax ID and register for VAT
Every registered company must obtain a tax identification number and register for VAT with the Austrian tax authorities to operate legally.
Open a business bank account
A corporate bank account is required to deposit share capital and handle your company’s financial transactions efficiently.
Following these steps ensures your business in Austria is registered correctly, compliant with local law, and ready to begin operations smoothly.
