Business setup and accountancy in Hungary

Business setup in Hungary

Hungary offers one of the easiest company setup procedures in Europe. The registration of an LLC is available to all nationalities (without requiring a local co-owner or partner), and it is also possible remotely, via a Power of Attorney. The new company will be registered in just 4-5 business days, although then you will need to come to Hungary to open a corporate bank account. An EU VAT number can be requested immediately, without meeting additional requirements.

Accounting and registered seat

When you start a business in Hungary, you will definitely need two types of services right from Day 1:

  • Registered seat: when you register your business, the registration must include a seat address where authorities can expect to reach you and your company. Many businesses use a professional seat provider service for this purpose. This way they do not have to rent an office space or hire an employee right away while professional personnel will still be available at the seat to receive incoming mail on the company’s behalf and forward it to you or your accountant.
  • Accountancy: compliance with tax regulations is essential when operating a Hungarian company. This requires your company to submit monthly and quarterly financial reports to the Hungarian Tax Authority – even if your company is idle for a while after registration and the report will just state that “no business just yet”. For that, you will need someone who knows Hungarian regulations and reporting procedures – you will need an accountant.

Helpers offers both of these services alongside business setup, and many more.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is it mandatory to have an accountant in Hungary?

Every business must submit regular reports to the Hungarian tax authority, which is a complex task that requires the knowledge of both reporting regulations and reporting procedures (as well as the Hungarian language, since most descriptions and explanations exist only in Hungarian). To take care of all that, you will need an accountant in Hungary.

How can an accountant assist with business setup?

Helpers Finance is a subsidiary to Helpers Hungary. Together, these two providers can cover all your administrative needs related to Hungarian business setup and operation. Helpers Hungary will help you register your company, while Helpers Finance will focus on accounting and finance.

Why use a one-stop-shop instead of separate providers?

By using a comprehensive service provider like Helpers, you can rest assured that interconnected administrative procedures will be carried out without delays. For example, accountancy can start as soon as the company is registered, keeping your business compliant with regulations. Similarly, the seat provider team can forward mail relevant to the accountant directly to them, without bothering you and without further delays.
