Hungary has the strongest competitive advantage in the European Union: the lowest corporate tax rate in the bloc (9% flat). This tax efficiency, coupled with its central geographical position as a logistics corridor and the immediate allocation of intra-EU VAT number, makes Budapest the preferred operational location for international trading, logistics and service structures that require full European substance without the traditional tax burden.

Initiation of the dossier by digitally compiling basic documentation (Passport and Proof of Residence). We perform legal and regulatory validation (AML) in less than 24 hours to ensure a seamless process.
02. Incorporation and Official Registration
Drafting of articles of association and preparation of articles of association in accordance with local regulations. We manage the filing with the competent registration authority and settle the governmental fees until the Certificate of Incorporation is obtained.

Formal delivery of the ‘Corporate Set’ with the company's legal documents. In this final phase, we execute the introductions with the selected financial institutions or EMIs to enable the company's treasury.
We were looking for legal certainty to operate in Europe, but bureaucracy was holding us back. Your team not only handled the registration, but also advised us on the optimal tax structure. We feel we have an in-house legal department.
