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!

Whether you want to be self-employed or work as a freelancer, under Austrian business law you will be considered a business. It helps to have support and to know exactly which rules apply to you.

Our legal background gives us the necessary perspective and expertise to guide you through this process with confidence.

We promise, it will not be as complicated as you’ve heard it is.
