Start your company in Austria — leave the bureaucracy to us.
GmbH or FlexCo, turnkey. From idea to Firmenbuch entry — 14 days. In Ukrainian, Russian, German.
Sound familiar?
I don't understand the German forms and laws
GewO, GmbHG, FlexKapGG, KStG — six laws, forty terms, no logic. And you have to know it all, or you’ll be fined.
I'm afraid to become a director without knowing the rules
§ 9 BAO, § 25 GmbHG, personal liability for taxes. What if I make a mistake because of the language barrier?
I don't know which is better or what it costs
One says €35 000, another €10 000, a third €5 000. GmbH or FlexCo? Who do you trust when the numbers differ sevenfold?
We’ve heard this from 100+ clients. And we know how to leave you with just one task — signing the documents. The rest is on us.
Two forms. One approach.
Choose yours — or let us do it for you after a 15-minute talk.
«Time-tested.»
The GmbH is the most popular legal form in Austria. A legal entity, limited liability, the trust of banks and partners.
Everything that sets GmbH apart from FlexCo — on one screen.
From the first call to your Firmenbuch entry — eight steps. Only the first is yours.
15-min call
We discuss your situation, decide the form — GmbH or FlexCo — and give you a checklist. Free, no obligation.
We gather the documents
Passports, apostilled translations, business plan, proof of address. Our specialist walks you through it — nothing gets lost.
Gesellschaftsvertrag
The articles of association in German: your name, objectives, share allocation. We tailor it to your growth plans.
Notary (Notariatsakt)
We accompany you in Vienna. Not in Austria? We set up ID Austria and e-registration via USP without a visit.
Bank + Treuhandkonto
We open an account at a partner bank. €5 000 Bareinlage — and you’re one step from your company.
Firmenbuch
We file with the commercial register. In 1–2 weeks you’re an official company with an FN number.
WKO, GISA, Gewerbe
We obtain your trade license. Free from the state, flawless for you.
FinanzOnline + SVS + UID
We register you with the tax office, obtain your VAT (UID) number and enrol you in SVS. Ready to invoice.
No surprises. Everything you pay — on one screen.
Base registration for a single owner. After that — only what you actually need.
Price for a single owner. With several founders, notarised signatures are required; we’ll clarify the details in the consultation.
How much tax will you actually pay?
Move both sliders. The second is the most important: it shows the rate depends not on the law but on your decision.
40% of profit after KÖSt · the rest works in the company
The same profit as a sole trader
Model calculation at 2026 rates: KÖSt 23%, KESt 27,5%, 2026 ESt tariff, SVS 26,83% up to the maximum base of €97 020 plus €155,40 UV, basic Gewinnfreibetrag 15%. Simplified — without SVS contributions from the director’s salary, the Investitionsfreibetrag and your individual circumstances. Not tax advice.
Tax in a GmbH isn't a rate. It's a decision.
As a sole trader you pay progressively on every euro earned — no matter whether you took the money out or left it in the business. In a GmbH, you decide. Here’s what moves the slider:
Director's salary — is deducted as an expense, so KÖSt is calculated after it.
Retained profit — stops at 23%, KESt doesn't arise until you take money out.
Ownership structure — a holding GmbH receives dividends tax-free (§ 10 KStG).
Two levers are at work here. In a real scenario there are more than ten:
Investitionsfreibetrag — raised from 10% to 20% until 31.12.2026 (22% for eco-investments). The window closes at year-end.
The balance point — between director’s salary and dividends — different for every turnover.
Car, business trips, home office, etc. — expenses that lower the base before KÖSt.
The payout year — dividends don't have to be paid out this year.
We don't invent schemes. We take scenarios already proven at our clients’ companies in Austria and fit them to your numbers — together with a tax adviser, before registration.
Being a director is serious. We make sure you’re protected.
«Freedom is knowing where your responsibility ends.»
Personal liability for taxes
If the company doesn’t pay taxes, the Finanzamt can collect from you personally, with all your assets. Ignorance is no excuse.
A monthly check by our accountant + automatic deadline reminders.
The director's internal liability
Liability to the company for breaching the duties of a diligent business person (ordentlicher Geschäftsmann). Limitation period — 5 years.
A compliance checklist + resolution templates. Everything documented, nothing «by word of mouth».
60 days to file for insolvency
If insolvent, you must file an Insolvenzantrag within 60 days. Otherwise financial and criminal liability follow.
Early detection of financial trouble + professional support in a crisis.
Contributions for employees
If the GmbH fails to remit contributions, the director is personally liable — regardless of fault.
Partner accounting + automatic ASVG transfers. No contribution «gets lost».
Want peace of mind? D&O insurance for directors — from €40/mo. We’ll arrange it for you.
100+ companies registered. Here are three stories.
Why we do what we do.
Ordnung muss sein.
Austrian bureaucracy is not an obstacle but a system that protects those who fit into it correctly. We make sure you fit in perfectly — from day one.
Ein Mann, ein Wort.
We don't sign contracts we can't deliver. If we say 14 days, it's 14 days. If we name a sum, it won't rise by a single euro. No asterisks.
Qualität vor Quantität.
We take on fewer clients than we could. Because everyone deserves full attention, not an assembly line. One manager guides you from the first call to the first invoice.
Gemütlichkeit.
Business in Vienna isn't a race. It's long conversations over coffee in our office at Fleischmarkt 14. You're invited: we brew the coffee ourselves.
The questions people ask most.
