Our online form collects the essential data of your future company: the intended company name, the registered office, the activities, the members with their capital contributions, the managing directors and the registered capital. Filling it in takes about 10 minutes, it is free of charge and does not oblige you to anything.
Right after submitting you receive a confirmation e-mail. Our first task is to check whether the chosen company name is available and complies with the requirements of Hungarian law – if a change is advisable, we contact you with suggestions.
Hungarian anti-money-laundering (AML) rules require the attorney to identify every member and every managing director before the work begins. Each person concerned receives a short KYC (know-your-customer) form; if a member is also a managing director, one form is enough. The process is fully online.
In parallel we send you a personal quote. After your confirmation we ask for the remaining details and documents needed for the incorporation – for example identity document copies, proof of address and, for foreign members, the details of the Hungarian delivery agent. We can only continue once every person concerned has completed the identification.
Based on the confirmed data the attorney's office prepares the complete set of incorporation documents: the articles of association (or deed of foundation for a single-member company), the specimen signature, the declarations of the managing directors, the list of members and the power of attorney for the registration procedure.
You receive every document in advance for review – bilingually where needed – so there are no surprises at signing.
Hungarian law requires the founding documents to be countersigned by an attorney, which involves the identification of the signatories. You can sign in person at our Budapest office, or – if you prefer not to travel – via video call with online identification conducted by the attorney.
The signing appointment usually takes less than an hour. With the signed power of attorney the attorney can act on your behalf in the entire registration procedure.
The attorney files the incorporation electronically with the competent court of registration. The company receives its tax number and EU VAT number upon registration, which typically takes only a few business days.
After registration we assist you with the practical next steps as well: opening the mandatory Hungarian bank account, finding an accountant and fulfilling the first notifications.
Fill in the company formation form and we will get back to you within one business day.
