Why choose Hungary?
Why choose Hungary for your company registration?
Hungary sits in the heart of Central Europe and has been a full EU member since 2004. That means once your company is registered here, you gain direct access to the EU single market and can trade across all 27 member states without VAT complications.
Here is why over a thousand foreign founders have chosen Hungary as their base:
Automatic EU VAT number
Your company receives an EU VAT number upon registration, so you can invoice other EU businesses immediately.
No share capital deposit required
The minimum share capital for a Hungarian Kft (LLC) is HUF 3,000,000 (approx. €7,600), but you do not need to deposit it in a bank — it can be used for business expenses from day one.
Remote setup possible
You do not need to travel to Hungary. The entire company registration process can be completed via power of attorney from your home country.
One business day registration
With all documents in order, a Hungarian company can be registered in a single working day. This is one of the fastest incorporation timelines in the EU.

Step by step
How does company registration in Hungary work?
You do not need to become an expert in Hungarian corporate law. Here is exactly what happens when you register a company with FirmaX.
- 01
Company name check
We verify your preferred company name at the Court of Registration. If it is already taken, we suggest alternatives based on your original idea.
- 02
Document preparation
We draft the Articles of Association and all required incorporation documents in both Hungarian and English.
- 03
Signing
Documents can be signed at our Budapest office or in your home country — no Hungary visit required.
- 04
Court submission
Our accredited Hungarian attorney submits the application electronically to the Company Register (Cégbíróság).
- 05
Registration
Your company receives a registration number, tax ID, and statistical number. This typically takes one business day.
- 06
Bank account opening
Within 15 days of registration, a bank account must be opened in Hungary. We assist with this process and coordinate with partner banks that work with non-resident founders.

Testimonials
Our Clients Say About Us
Discover how our professional solutions have positively impacted businesses worldwide.
“Speed was excellent but never sloppy, they reviewed each draft with me on a video call, highlighted clauses that mattered, and suggested small edits that improved flexibility for future investors, the care with which they handled details gave me confidence that filings would pass first time, which they did, flawlessly.”
Gerald Niemann
Client
“I appreciated the practical guidance throughout, including help choosing activity codes, preparing bilingual articles, and drafting a short business plan for the bank, which sped up account opening and card delivery; after registration they introduced a patient accountant, configured payroll, and created a calendar for filings that keeps everything on track effortlessly…”
Liv Göhmann
Client
“I especially appreciated the practical decision support, like explaining share capital options, outlining when a registered seat service makes sense, preparing a short business plan summary for banking compliance, and mapping the annual calendar for returns and reports, which together made incorporation and the first operating months calm, predictable, and fully under control, with clear pricing, prompt responses, and no surprises anywhere in the process.”

Ongoing services
Everything your Hungarian company needs after day one
Registered office and virtual office in Budapest
Every company registered in Hungary must have a registered address in the country. If you do not have a physical office, a registered office service or virtual office is the standard and legally accepted solution.
FirmaX operates a fully equipped virtual office in central Budapest (1077, Rózsa utca 38/A). Using our address as your company’s registered seat covers your legal obligation and includes handling of all official correspondence from Hungarian authorities.
Virtual office packages start from €49/month and can be added to your company registration package.
Accounting after company registration in Hungary
A registered Hungarian company is required by law to maintain proper accounting records and file annual financial statements. This cannot be skipped and failure to comply results in penalties.
Our in-house accounting team — all English-speaking — provides ongoing bookkeeping, payroll, VAT filing, and annual reporting services. We work with founders who have never operated a Hungarian company before and make sure nothing gets missed.
Monthly accounting packages start from €120/month and scale with the size and complexity of your business.
