Establish a Joint Venture in Czech Republic

A joint venture in Czech Republic represents a type of association in which more investors bring together their assets in order to accomplish a specific business goal that can refer to the creation of an infrastructure project or a similar business purpose.

Our team of lawyers in Czech Republic can offer legal assistance on the procedures related to the incorporation of a joint venture. 

 

 

Businessmen who want to open a company in Czech Republic as a joint venture may choose from two main types of structures: 

 

• corporate joint ventures;

• contractual joint ventures.

 

A contractual joint venture (JV) is established through an agreement between the parties, which are not required to establish a legal entity to carry out their business activities. In Czech Republic, most of the JVs are set up as corporate JV, which will necessitate registering a new business form. 

 

The corporate JV may be also set up through the acquisition of shares in a company that has already been incorporated in the Czech Republic. It is important to know that a corporate JV will need to respect the regulations applicable under the Czech corporate legislation, on which our team of attorneys in Czech Republic may provide an in-depth presentation. 

 

 

In the case of a corporate Czech joint venture, the businessmen will have the following options related to the legal entity of the business: 

 

• limited liability company (which is the most common business form registered in Czech Republic);

• joint stock company;

• unlimited partnership;

• limited partnership;

• European company. 

 

In order to register a Czech joint venture, it is necessary to have at least two associates. As a general rule, one of the business partners must be a Czech resident.
