Why Form a Company in Hungary?

Hungary offers entrepreneurs and international businesses access to the European Union market through a recognised local corporate structure. The Hungarian Kft (Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság) is a commonly used limited liability company structure suitable for entrepreneurs, SMEs and international businesses.

A Hungarian Kft can provide:

Limited liability protection for shareholders
100% foreign ownership, where permitted by applicable requirements
A recognised corporate structure within the EU
Flexibility for single-member and multi-member ownership
A foundation for local and international commercial activities
Access to professional accounting, tax and corporate support services

The suitability of Hungary for your business depends on your activities, ownership structure, tax position and operational requirements. Professional advice should be obtained where necessary.

Hungary Company Formation for Foreigners and Non-Residents

Can a Foreigner Form a Company in Hungary?

Foreign entrepreneurs may be able to establish a Hungarian Kft (Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság), subject to applicable Hungarian legal, identification and compliance requirements. The process generally involves selecting a company name, determining the intended business activities, preparing incorporation documents and providing shareholder and managing director information.

Foreign founders should also consider registered office requirements, tax and VAT obligations, accounting arrangements and corporate banking needs when establishing a Hungarian company. Leadforce can assist with coordinating the company formation process and related business setup services based on your individual requirements.

Can a Non-Resident Own a Hungarian Kft?

A Hungarian Kft can generally be established with foreign ownership, allowing eligible non-resident entrepreneurs and international businesses to own a Hungarian company without necessarily becoming Hungarian residents. The exact requirements depend on factors such as the founder's nationality, ownership structure, business activities and applicable compliance requirements.

Leadforce can assist non-resident founders with the company formation process, incorporation documentation, registered office arrangements and post-incorporation support. The specific requirements for your company will be assessed based on your individual circumstances.

Depending on your circumstances, it may be possible to complete much of the Hungarian company formation process without travelling to Hungary. The exact process depends on the incorporation procedure, documentation requirements and authorised representation available to the founder.

Certain documents may require notarisation, apostille or certified translation. Additional verification may also be required depending on your nationality, residency and company structure. Leadforce can help you understand the applicable process and coordinate the documentation required for your Hungarian Kft formation.
