Which type of legal structure is best for my business in Austria?

In Austria there is a wide range of different forms of business entities to choose from for setting up a company or, as the case may be, for renaming a company. Basically, there are non-corporate and corporate legal forms. In special cases there is also the foundation. The different types of companies are tailored to specific needs in liability, tax, disclosure requirements, internal organisation. The choice of the correct legal form can vary for each company or business area making comprehensive legal advice and set-up consultation all the more important.

What you should know about equity participation in enterprises in Austria?

In all cases of shareholdings, very careful attention should be paid to the provisions of the Austrian Corporate Code with relation to possible assumptions of liability should be paid. Similiarly with participation at company level it is important that protection regulations for minority shareholders or restrictions on decision-making for financiers should be taken into consideration. At all events, each equity participation is a special case for itself that must be tailored to the specific requirements.
