FAQ Company Formation & Registration

How to register a company in Austria?
To register a company in Austria, choose a legal form like a GmbH, reserve a unique company name, notarize the Articles of Association, deposit the required share capital into a business bank account, and register the company in the Austrian Commercial Register (Firmenbuch).
Can I, as a foreigner, set up a GmbH in Vienna?

Yes. Non-Austrians can form a company in Austria. You will need a notarized founding deed, proof of share capital, an Austrian business address, and registration in the Firmenbuch. A notary can guide you through all documents, assist with translation needs, and ensure compliance with immigration and trade laws.

How can I legally transfer my Austrian business to my children?
Business succession requires notarized contracts to transfer shares or assets, adjustment of company statutes, and tax planning. A notary can structure the transfer to minimize risks and register all changes in the Firmenbuch.
How do I liquidate or dissolve my GmbH in Austria?

To close a company, you need a notarial deed of dissolution, appointment of a liquidator, registration in the Firmenbuch, creditor notification, and preparation of liquidation balance sheets. A notary provides step-by-step handling until the company is officially deleted from the register.

Do I need a notary for shareholder resolutions or general meetings in Austria?
Many corporate decisions (capital increases, share transfers, amendments of articles) require notarized minutes. A notary in Vienna can draft and notarize the resolutions, record the meeting, and register the changes with the Firmenbuch on your behalf.
