In Austria, entrepreneurial activities are highly regulated. Your company will require a business license for almost every entrepreneurial activity, whereby a distinction is made between free and regulated trades.
We can support you in the selection of the right trade licenses as well as the professionally suitable registered agent and the registration of the trade.
In the case of a missing business license or even the registration of a wrong business, in addition to severe penalties, legal actions under competition law as well as the loss of insurance coverage can be expected. In case of infringement, we can support you in administrative criminal proceedings.
We advise managing directors under commercial law on how to avoid liability. We can also provide support in the event of necessary changes, such as a change of managing directors under commercial law.
From the point of view of employment law, the business license is decisive in determining which collective bargaining agreement is applicable. Commercial law issues are therefore often resolved in close cooperation with our Employment Law and Corporate Law team.
Whether you are a national or international business, we will provide you with comprehensive support in setting up a company and advise on the selection of the legal form, the executive bodies and the business licenses, including labor law matters. We are also happy to guide you through the extensive trade regulations and make use of our good contacts with the administrative authorities.
