What to know before buying a Croatian company

A ready-made company is an already registered business offered for transfer to a new owner. In Croatia, the common limited liability form is a d.o.o. Buying one may save incorporation time, but it still requires checks, properly prepared transfer documents and any necessary register updates.

🏢 Legal form

A Croatian d.o.o. (limited liability company), subject to the available company and its articles.

💶 Share capital

The standard d.o.o. minimum share capital is €2,500. This is company capital, not a service fee; confirm the target company’s paid-in capital and balance.

✍️ Formal transfer

Share transfers require the form prescribed by Croatian law, including notarial formalities.

🔎 Case-by-case checks

Review the company’s register details, financial and tax position, ownership and any obligations before signing.

Illustrative service packages

The figures below are planning examples for the service scope only, not a confirmed quote or a promise that a company is currently in stock. Croatian providers publish formation services around €1,000 plus VAT, while shelf-company purchase prices and transfer costs vary. We will confirm the full written price and scope before any commitment.

Price clarity: example service fees below do not include the seller’s share-purchase price, any share capital in the target company, notary or court charges, translations, apostilles, registered-office services, bank fees or applicable VAT. The share capital belongs to the company; it is not a fee paid to us.

How a ready-made company purchase works

The exact route depends on the company’s documents, articles of association, buyer profile and current Croatian requirements. A typical transaction is handled in stages:

Tell us what you need

Share your intended activity, ownership structure, preferred timeline and whether you need an existing company or would consider a new incorporation.

Check availability and records

We confirm what is actually available and request documents needed to review ownership, status, financial history and any known obligations.

Complete due diligence

Identity and business checks are completed for the buyer and relevant parties before transfer documents are prepared.

Review the written offer

You receive the company details, included services, exclusions, expected third-party charges and proposed steps in writing.

Sign and register the transfer

The share transfer is completed using the required Croatian formalities. A local notary or lawyer coordinates applicable filings.

Receive the handover pack

After completion, you receive available corporate documents and a checklist for follow-up with the bank, tax authority and service providers.

Why consider Croatia?

Croatia uses the euro and is part of the European Union. A Croatian company may suit businesses that need a local legal entity for operations in Croatia or broader regional plans. The right structure depends on where the business is managed, its activities, customers and tax position, so obtain tailored professional advice before choosing a jurisdiction.

FAQs about Croatian ready-made companies

Can a foreign citizen own a Croatian d.o.o.?

Foreign ownership is generally possible, but identification, Croatian personal identification number (OIB), director and activity requirements depend on the buyer and circumstances. We confirm the applicable steps with a Croatian professional before transfer.

Does a Croatian ready-made company include a bank account?

Do not assume that it does. Any existing account, its status and whether a bank will retain or reopen access for a new owner must be confirmed directly. Banks apply their own customer checks and may decline an application.

Does buying the company automatically include VAT registration?

No. VAT registration and any VAT number must be verified for the specific company. Eligibility and registration depend on Croatian and EU rules and the company’s circumstances.

Can the company name or director be changed?

Changes may be possible, subject to the company’s articles, Croatian law and the relevant filing process. The requested changes and their fees should appear in the written quotation.

Do I need to travel to Croatia?

That depends on the transaction, identity-verification requirements and the documents accepted by the notary or other authorities. Some steps may be handled by a representative with a properly executed power of attorney; confirm this for your case before making travel plans.

How much does a ready-made company in Croatia cost?

There is no single public price for all Croatian shelf companies. Cost depends on the company, its capital and records, the seller’s price, transfer formalities and any additional services. The figures on this page are illustrative service-fee examples only. We provide a written quotation after confirming availability and scope.

How long does the share transfer take?

Timing depends on document readiness, identity checks, notary availability and register processing. We give an estimate after reviewing the particular company and buyer requirements.

What checks should I make before buying?

Review the company’s official register record, ownership, articles, financial statements, tax status, debts, contracts, bank position and any legal or regulatory obligations. Obtain documents and qualified Croatian legal or accounting advice appropriate to the transaction.
