And this is what GmbH incorporation with FirmaDigital looks like

Here are all the steps of incorporation summarized briefly. In the same time you read through the steps here, you could of course already get started. But just like assembling an Ikea© cabinet, some people like to read the instructions first, while others reach for the Allen key right away. We are definitely sure that both "types of founders" will successfully navigate the incorporation process with us!

ID/KYC check step
01

Start ID/KYC Check

Fast and secure verification. With ID-Austria support, you can easily enter your data and also view the General Terms and Conditions as well as the offer for online GmbH incorporation from PHH. Once you have accepted the terms and the offer, we will receive the form data. While PHH checks your entries, you can already start designing your incorporation documents. Our goal: completion of the review of your data within 1 business day.
Check company name step
02

Check Company Name

Check your desired name. We ensure that your chosen company name does not violate any legal requirements and is not already registered in the commercial register.
Define shareholders step
03

Define Shareholders and Shares

Clarity and structure. Define all shareholders with their respective shares and keep track of the planned ownership structure.
Select contract contents step
04

Select Desired Contract Contents

Flexible and interactive. Adjust your contract contents as often as you like. Pay attention to our brief explanations of each point and use interactive video explanations to understand each step.
Purchase contract step
05

Purchase Contract

Transparent flat rates. At this point, payment is required. A draft view of the GmbH's articles of association will then be available to you. Adjustments can still be made online after the purchase. You will receive the incorporation documents at top rates from us, PHH Rechtsanwält:innen (see point 7). Flat rate: €1,800 (net)
Invite shareholders step
06

Invite Shareholders for ID/KYC Check and Contract Review

Teamwork made easy. Invite all your co-shareholders to review and finalize the contract contents you have defined together. PHH Rechtsanwält:innen, as an Austrian law firm, are legally required to conduct a complete ID/KYC check (see point 1.) for your co-shareholders as well.
Expert conversation step
07

Expert Conversation for Completion

Professional support. If desired, book a personal/online conversation with an experienced lawyer from PHH Rechtsanwält:innen for the completion of your incorporation documents and to answer any questions. A 30-minute conversation is included in the flat package price.
Schedule notary appointment step
08

Schedule Notary Appointment

Digital or local. Use the offer of virtual notary appointments via Notarity© for a fully digital GmbH incorporation at attractive prices. Alternatively, you can choose your own notary and provide us with their details. For the notary appointment, we will then finalize the incorporation documentation in coordination with the respective notary office. Depending on the notary approx. €500 - €1,200 (net)
Capital contribution account step
09

Share Capital Contribution

Quick and direct. Shareholders can also transfer their capital contribution to a trust account of the notarizing notary (this can be specified upon defining the contract contents - see point 4.). This transfer can take place almost simultaneously with the notary appointment, but increases the notary's fees typically by approx. €200 (net). Alternatively, a business account for the GmbH can be opened at an Austrian bank or a branch of a bank based in the EU.
Company registration step
10

Company Registration

Final sprint to incorporation. As soon as we have all the documents required for incorporation, we will take care of the application for registration of your GmbH in the Austrian commercial register. Take advantage of the exemption from duties and fees under the New Incorporation Promotion Act (NeuFöG). Note: already with the application for registration of your GmbH, the approved form ("NeuFö2") must be submitted to save the court fees for the registration. Approx. € 400 (or free under NeuFöG)

Frequently Asked Questions about GmbH Incorporation

Answers to the most important questions about incorporating your GmbH

Establishing a GmbH usually takes 2 to 8 weeks (major time factors are consultations, scheduling of appointments, drafting the agreements, receipt of register excerpts for foreing corporate-shareholders and the opening of a bank account). With FirmaDigital, you can speed up the process, since all documents are prepared digitally and sent directly to the notary. The opening of a bank account may be postponed after the incorporation, if the share captial contributions are made to an escrow account of the involved notary (based on our ID/KYC Checks, we have all KYC documents ready for the opening of an escrow account by the notary on the day of signing the incorporation documents).

With FirmaDigital: - €1,800 for the incorporation documents (unlimited revisions, fully online) - approx. €500 to €1.200 for the notary (depening on whether notarization is in English, escrow accounts are required, etc.) - approx. €400 court fees for the registration with the commercial register (but free with the start-up subsidy program).

Yes, a single-member GmbH is possible. You can act as the sole shareholder and managing director. This can be done directly via the Company Service Portal. The services available at FirmaDigital aim to support more complex incorporations with several co-founders.

The company name must meet certain requirements: In particular, it must not already be taken, include the suffix “GmbH” (in various permissible forms) and shall not be misleading. With FirmaDigital, you can check the availability of your desired company name directly and receive suggestions for alternatives, if the name is already taken. In a final step, experienced lawyers at PHH will assess the registrability of the company name.

A GmbH is particularly suitable for businesses with higher liability risks (due to the limited liability of shareholders with their share capital contribution), multiple shareholders (which shall not automatically also be managing directors), and scalabilty. The limited liability protects your personal assets.
