Legally recognised corporations in Europe take on many forms. We decided to shed some light on useful legislation insights, general incorporation requirements and characteristics of a LLC or Limited Liability Company in Europe.
Moreover, we decided to compare the legal aspects of LLCs in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine to provide a comprehensive yet clear overview of the requirements in the region.
Dive into the general features of LLCs, such as the basic characteristics of founders, minimum capital nature and limits, types of contributions and payment deadlines, guarantees required by shareholders, incorporation time, obligation of VAT registration, and much more.
