LEGAL PERSON created by registration in a public register (not yet registered)

If any information in the instructions in this Guide is broken down by type of entity, the part of the information that is introduced by the above text applies to you.

The founders of a legal person (or, where applicable, the bodies or persons authorised to submit an application for the registration of the legal person in a public register) that is created by registration in a public register but has not yet been registered, may submit the notification of a trade or an application for a concession, on the basis of which the trade licensing office will confirm that they meet the conditions for carrying on a trade by issuing an extract from the trade licensing register. The creation of a trade authorisation is then tied to the registration of the legal person in a public register.

If the Trade Licensing Act requires the fulfilment of specific conditions for carrying on a trade, the entrepreneur must appoint a responsible representative for that trade. As its responsible representative, a Czech legal person appoints a person who will be a member of its statutory body. if no member of its statutory body can be appointed as a responsible representative, the entrepreneur appoints another person as a responsible representative. A responsible representative appointed by an entrepreneur must meet the general (Section 6 of the Trade Licensing Act) and specific conditions for carrying on the trade, i.e. professional or other competence, if required by law (Section 7 of the Trade Licensing Act). The entrepreneur (and their responsible representative) must not be subject to any impediments to carrying on the trade (Section 8 or, if relevant, Section 8a of the Trade Licensing Act), and other conditions specified in the Trade Licensing Act must be met.

In order to fill in and submit the notification of a trade or an application for a concession, you will need the identification information of the legal person (indicated e.g. in the memorandum of association). In the event that the law requires the fulfilment of specific conditions for carrying on the trade, information on the person of the responsible representative must be available (to the same extent as on the person of the entrepreneur – natural person). Additional information on the required documents is included in the description of the relevant process in the Guide.
