How it works

How the traditional route to a limited company works

The traditional route is for shareholders who want more flexibility in the articles. It covers drafting of the articles for the notary and registration in the KRS. Three stages.

  1. Interview and provisions

    We settle the structure of the company, the privileges of the shareholders, the rules on the management board and the procedures for amending the articles.

  2. Articles before the notary

    We prepare the articles ready for signature and the shareholders sign them before the notary.

  3. KRS registration

    We file the signed articles and the registration application with the registry court and conduct the matter through to entry.

Who should use this service

The traditional route to a limited company makes sense where the shareholders want more flexibility than the standard system template allows. We use it for complex relations between shareholders, where specified shares are to carry privileges, where shareholders take on duties on the management board, or where the decision-making procedures call for a detailed description. Articles drafted in full awareness of the needs of the business work as the internal constitution of the company and save disputes later on.

When protective provisions are worth adding

A limited company puts the trust between its shareholders on paper. The articles can cover non-competition clauses, rules on the disposal of shares, pre-emption and priority rights on a sale, and exit scenarios. Such provisions are needed wherever shareholders set up a business together or bring in an investor and are concerned about later differences in vision. Where the structure is typical instead, with cash contributions and standard provisions, the faster S24 procedure is the better path, and we discuss which of the two fits the plans during the initial consultation.

What the price covers

The price of EUR 1200 net is a starting figure for two shareholders and articles concluded before a notary with standard provisions. Extended provisions, for instance preferential shares, raise the quote, as do the number of shareholders, the complexity of the share structure, the amount of the share capital and the number of contributions. Notarial fees are an external cost outside the price of the service, non-cash contributions requiring an expert valuation are quoted separately, and the final scope and fee are confirmed before the work starts.

What the fee depends on

  • Number of shareholders and complexity of the share structure
  • Scope of bespoke provisions (preferential shares, required consents, non-competition clauses)
  • Amount of the share capital and the number of contributions

We agree the fee individually, at an hourly rate or as a flat fee, and confirm it before we start.
