The price of a ready-made company is not a single fixed number — it is made up of several factors. Before you decide, it pays to understand what drives the price so you compare like with like. Ready-made company prices start in the tens of thousands of CZK and rise according to the parameters below. The current price list is always available on rpop.cz.
Type of company The cheapest and most common is the s.r.o. (limited liability company). Since 2014 its legal minimum share capital is just CZK 1, although in practice it is usually founded with more. More expensive is the a.s. (joint-stock company), whose share capital is CZK 2,000,000 — the higher price reflects that tied-up capital and a more complex structure. Highest of all is usually the SE (European company), whose minimum capital is EUR 120,000; it suits cross-border business and prestige projects.
Amount of share capital In a ready-made company the capital is already paid up. A company with higher paid-up capital (e.g. CZK 200,000 instead of CZK 20,000) costs more because that sum is genuinely tied up in the firm. Higher capital, however, looks more credible to banks and business partners.
VAT registration A company that is already a VAT payer costs more than a non-payer. The reason is saved time — you do not have to wait for registration at the tax office, which for a voluntary registration can take weeks. If you plan to trade with other VAT payers or across borders, this premium quickly pays for itself.
Age of the company Companies with an earlier year of registration tend to be more expensive. History looks more solid when dealing with a bank, applying for a loan or taking part in a tender that requires a certain length of existence. In a clean ready-made firm it is still an entity with no activity and no liabilities — the age is purely formal, not operational.
Additional turnkey services On top of the company price you can add optional services: changing the name or seat (which require a notarial deed), setting up a virtual office, opening a bank account, bookkeeping or legal support. These items are billed separately and it is entirely up to you how many you use.
What is always included The price standardly covers a clean, vetted entity with paid-up capital, preparation of the transfer documents, assistance with verifying signatures and filing the changes with the Commercial Register. It also covers the statutory AML identification, without which the transfer cannot take place.
How not to compare apples with oranges When comparing offers, look at the whole package, not just the headline price. A cheap company with no VAT and no seat can, once you add services, end up costing the same as a more expensive company where everything is included. Always check the type, capital, VAT status and year of registration — only then are two offers comparable.
Conclusion The price of a ready-made company in 2026 depends mainly on the type of company, the amount of paid-up capital, VAT-payer status and age. A ready-made s.r.o. is the most affordable entry option, while an a.s. and an SE target capital-heavy and more prestigious plans.
