F.A.Q.

Vitual offices

What is a virtual office?

A virtual office is an address that can be registered in the Commercial Register as a company headquarters or in the Trade Register as a business. It serves as an identification detail and also a transparent address, but typically there is no physical space like an office for use. The company/self-employed person is indicated on the building plaque and serviced mailbox.

Is a virtual office legal?

Yes, the offices we offer comply with all legislative requirements and are therefore legal. We are responsible for the company/self-employed person's name and handling mail at the address.

What conditions does the company or self-employed person's headquarters have to meet?

The headquarters of a company / self-employed person can be located in a property that has been assigned a descriptive or registration number. For the registration of the company/self-employed person's headquarters, it is necessary to obtain a Consent to the placement of the headquarters from at least a majority of the owners. In the case of companies, it is necessary to secure a notarially certified signature of the owners. After registration in the public registers, the company/self-employed person must be visibly marked at the specified address (Name/First and Last name; ID) and ensure the possibility of delivering correspondence.

How to set up a virtual office?

The easiest option is to fill in a non-binding order form on our site, where you will be given a specific amount for the services you selected, and we will also receive all necessary data for the preparation of the needed documentation. You can also send an email to info@legalcompany.cz or call 735 173 007 and we will ask you for any additional information ourselves.

What are the advantages of a virtual office?

A virtual office can be set up for just a fraction of the cost and effort compared to a physical office. This can be a significant relief especially at the start of the business or simply when there is a need to reduce costs. For this reason, a virtual office is ideal especially for companies or self-employed people who don't need a physical operation for their activities.

In which cities do you offer virtual offices?

We currently offer offices in Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Pilsen, Liberec, Ústí nad Labem, Mladá Boleslav, Karlovy Vary, and Cheb. In Prague, there is also the possibility to choose a location in New Town, Vinohrady, Žižkov, Braník, Smíchov, Holešovice, or Vršovice.

What is the price of a virtual office?

The price of the office depends on the chosen address and the pre-paid length of using the address. The longer the period, the cheaper the price. So, our cheapest permanent offices come out at 99CZK/month without VAT, and none of our offices exceeds 249CZK/month without VAT. It is always necessary to pay the full amount for the entire selected period before issuing the Consent to the registered office from our side. Unfortunately, we do not allow payment in installments.

Is a personal meeting possible for signing documents?

Yes, our offices are located at U Rajské zahrady 1912/3, Prague 3 and after a previous arrangement, we will be glad to prepare everything for a personal meeting to settle the company's headquarters. A personal meeting is also possible in Ostrava after prior arrangement.

What services are included in the price of a virtual office?

The price of a virtual office includes making and handing over the Consent to the placement of the headquarters, marking the building's plaque and mailbox and regularly checking this mailbox and contacting clients about incoming mail. All mail is stored with us until the client comes to pick it up. Only if we accumulate uncollected mail older than 1 year do we ask clients to deal with the situation, so that the mail does not get discarded. You can also subscribe to additional services such as regular scanning, picking up, or forwarding mail.

Is it possible to make changes to the Company Domiciliation Agreement during the prepaid period?

Yes, if we receive a written request (email is sufficient) for a change in the Company Domiciliation Agreement, we will prepare an amendment and an invoice. In the invoice, we will only charge the proportional part that will be used for any additional service, not automatically for the whole year.

How long does it take to set up a virtual office?

Once we receive the necessary information, we can issue the Consent to the company's headquarters for self-employed individuals immediately. For companies, we guarantee issuance by the next business day at the latest. If you choose a personal meeting in our office at U Rajské zahrady 1912/3, Prague 3, everything will be handled immediately on site. If you choose to handle everything by mail, please expect some delays in document delivery, as we have to wait for the arrival of the shipment with documents by mail before we can send you back the consent for the company headquarters.

Our office is open from Monday to Thursday 9:00 - 16:00, on Friday 9:00 - 15:00. By prior arrangement, meetings may be possible outside these hours. The office is closed on holidays and weekends.

If your office is at one of our Prague addresses, all your mail will be available for collection at our reception at U Rajské zahrady 1912/3, Prague 3. For non-Prague offices, arrangements need to be made with the relevant post office administrator at the given address.

What additional postal services do you offer?

Our offered postal services include scanning of incoming mail, collection of registered mail, forwarding of mail with weekly or monthly frequency, or setting up redirection at Czech Post on our part.

Can a virtual office be used to obtain a parking card?

Yes, both a company and a self-employed person can establish a parking card for their business in the municipal part where they have the headquarters registered in the public registers. So, it doesn't matter whether the headquarters is virtual or physical.

How can the company headquarters be changed?

When changing the headquarters, you first need to check whether it is necessary to change the notarial record or whether the change can be made by recording in the Commercial Register. The notarial deed must be changed if the place of business is changed outside the municipality stated in the notarial deed as the "headquarters" or in case the entire address instead of the municipality is stated. If you send us a request, we are happy to check the situation and prepare the necessary documentation for you.

Is it possible to use a conference room at your virtual addresses?

Unfortunately, there is no conference room directly at our virtual addresses. However, we offer the possibility of renting a conference room for 8 people in our office at U Rajské zahrady 1912/3, Prague 3 for 599 CZK/hour.

How to extend or terminate the Domiciliation Agreement?

The Domiciliation Agreement is set to automatically renew, so it lasts until properly terminated. From our side, we keep an eye on the end of the prepaid period and always inform the client at least a month in advance that the end of the prepaid period is approaching, and we send an invoice for extension. To terminate the agreement, all it takes is to send a written notice and change the company's address in the commercial/business register within 30 days.

Company formation

How long does it take to establish a company?

In case the company being established has an initial capital of less than CZK 20,000, the company can be established within a single meeting with a notary, thus the company will obtain its ID the next day. However, it is still necessary to register for trades and for corporate income tax. The complete foundation is thus usually settled within a week (depending on the speed of the trade licensing office). If the company has a higher initial capital, it is necessary to deposit the initial capital in a bank, pick up confirmation and arrange a meeting with a notary for a direct entry into the commercial register, which can prolong the process by a few days.

What is all included in the price of company formation?

The price of company formation includes the preparation of necessary documents according to the client's specification with instructions for further procedure, ensuring the establishment of the company at a notary based on a power of attorney, trade registration at the trade licensing office, and preparation of the application for corporate income tax sent along with instructions on how and where to send the application.

What information is necessary to provide for company formation?

The basic information needed are - the chosen company name, the amount of the initial capital, the number of partners with determination of share sizes and their detailed information (first name and surname, date of birth, permanent residence; or company's ID if applicable), the number of company executives and their detailed information, the way how executives act, the subject of activities of the company and the company's domicile.

What are the types of trades?

There are two types of trades - notified and concessionary. Notified trades are further divided into free (which anyone can report), tied (which already require proof of practice or achieved education) and artisanal (which already require proof of practice or achieved education in a certain craft). Concessionary trades already require permission of the relevant body and in some cases it is necessary to provide more documents.

What conditions must the company name meet?

The company name must be unique, not interchangeable with other existing companies, and it must not be deceptive. It should also differ from already existing companies by at least 3 characters. Therefore, it is advisable to check the commercial register when creating and in case of the internet 'name checkers' only use those names that have less than 85% match. In case we establish your company, we will verify the name and confirm it with the notary before we prepare further documents for you.

Ready-made companies

Why have a Ready made company?

Having a Ready made company is advantageous for several reasons. Firstly, you become a partner and a person authorized to act on behalf of the company at the same time as you sign the transfer documentation. This company then has basic business licenses registered, so you can do business immediately. Our ready-mades are also companies with several years of history, for which you do not have to solve "skeletons in the closet", as they never factually did business.

How long does it take to transfer a company?

The company is usually transferred within a week after the delivery of signed documents, just in case it is necessary to make more complex changes in these companies before the actual transfer.

Can I make any further changes to the company when transferring Ready made?

When transferring the company, we can make any changes according to your requirements, from the headquarters up to the name. Depending on the selected changes, only the price of services would be changed (e.g. due to the need to create a notarial record, etc.), though we would confirm the final calculation before signing the documentation.

What should I watch out for when buying a Ready made company?

It is necessary to be careful especially to not have the company any hidden commitments, as for example debts to the state or private individuals. Be especially wary in the case when the company is "suspiciously" cheap or when the seller refuses to include in the transfer contract guarantees like the company's debtlessness. In our ready-made companies, we will provide all the necessary guarantees in writing in the share transfer agreement.
