Company registration in Hungary

Registration of companies in Hungary is popular among non-residents. Hungary demonstrates clear progress in economic growth, and its friendly tax policy for businessmen investing in the country’s economy makes it even more attractive. Hungary is an EU country, which gives the incorporators of companies the right to live and move around the EU countries without a visa.

For a non-resident, there are two options for organizing an enterprise in Hungary - buying an existing company or registering a new one.

Buying an existing company for a non-resident of Hungary is easier and more profitable. Such a company is already fully registered and has all the documents necessary for operation. The incorporation of a new company is also possible, but one may face some difficulties associated with a personal presence in the country. Although with a Schengen visa, this is not an obstacle.
