Miglena helped me out develop a new Company, she is so knowledgeable and helpful, so professional and friendly you will never feel alone against the evil Austrian bureaucracy, or left with unanswered questions.

Like many new Companies we had some hiccups along the way, but her support is constant and quite frankly invaluable, thanks Miglena!

Miglena and her colleagues has been instrumental for setting up my self-employment in Vienna, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very first consultation, the team demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise, professionalism, and genuine dedication to helping me navigate the complexities of the process.

Their guidance was not only thorough but also tailored to my specific needs, ensuring that every step—from legal requirements to administrative processes—was handled smoothly and efficiently. They provided clear explanations, answered all my questions with patience, and went above and beyond to make sure I felt confident in every decision.

Thanks to their help, I was able to establish my self-employment seamlessly. If you are looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and highly supportive consulting team to assist with business setup or self-employment in Austria, I wholeheartedly recommend Miglena and her team. Their expertise and commitment to their clients make all the difference!

Self-Employment Registration in Austria

Whether you want to be self-employed, or just a freelancer, under the Austrian business rules and regulations you will be considered a business. It will be useful to have support and know which rules apply to you.

As an English speaking Business Consultant, I can provide help in various matters such as choosing the right business license for you and your business, taking over the entire administrative ordeal of registering a business in Austria, or making sure you and your business interests are protected.

My legal background gives me the necessary perspective and knowledge to guide you through this process.

I promise, it will not be as complicated as you have heard it is.

How can I help you register as self employed in Austria?

You need to request a consultation first. We will have a conversation and I will ask you a lot of questions. You get to ask yours too!

After that, I will prepare a detailed and thorough follow-up email for you summarizing everything we have talked about, the findings of the research I have done, tailored to your needs, and a piece of advice for the best course to take.
I will also include a step-by-step procedure for you to follow and how I can help you further.

My rate for a consultation (as described above) is EUR 195,00.

I offer various packages depending on the legal form of the business and how much professional business support and involvement you would like me to have in the process of registering your business in Austria.

Moving Your Business to Austria

This service is for you if you own a business abroad, outside of Austria but life has relocated you to this country and you want to move your business with you.

This is very common business decision – especially because under Austrian law, foreign companies whose management members (i.e. managing director, CEO) are residing in Austria, have to pay corporate tax in Austria.

Should you set up a parent company, a branch or subsidiary for your international business relocation? The business immigration service I offer includes advice on the most suitable legal form for your foreign business.

We hired Miglena to set up our company in Vienna and she supported us from A to Z, making things clear and understandable (this is rare in Austria!).

Her ability to navigate the bureaucratic system and not giving up upon challenging institutions, makes it even more worth working with her. Also, price wise is more than fair compared to other business consultants. we highly recommend working with Miglena and I’m glad we did.

I had the pleasure of working with Miglena Hofer, a business consultant who stands out for her exceptional service and deep understanding of Austria’s complex business landscape. Miglena guided me through a bureaucratic maze, helping me to choose the right company form and understand the intricate interplay of various business aspects.

Her services, which include business consultation and business registration are offered in English – a rarity in Austria and a significant advantage for international clients. Miglena’s support was comprehensive, addressing a wide range of issues with clarity and confidence. She empowered me, giving me the assurance that I had a reliable expert to depend on.

Let’s work together

I will make things quick and easy for you, so you can focus on the things that made you (want to) start your business.
