Setting up a civic association or non-profit organisation

Setting up a civic association or non-profit organisation — from the statutes to registration.

I’m interested in this service

A civic association suits clubs, societies and communities brought together by a shared interest. A non-profit organisation providing services of general benefit suits projects in social services, education, culture or healthcare.

We help you choose the right legal form, prepare the statutes or founding deed and handle the registration with the competent authority for you.

What we take care of

  • Consultation on the right form — civic association, non-profit organisation, foundation
  • Proposing a name and checking its availability
  • Preparing the statutes, rules or founding deed
  • Setting up the bodies — statutory body, members’ meeting, board of directors or supervisory board
  • Filing the registration application and communicating with the registering authority
  • Help with the first steps after registration — company ID, bank account, tax office

Who the service is for

  • Sports clubs, societies and interest groups
  • Initiatives in culture, education and social services
  • Parents’ and civic initiatives
  • Companies setting up their own non-profit activity

How we work together

  1. Initial consultation

    We discuss your plans and propose a suitable set-up for the company — shareholders, bodies, share capital and business activities.

  2. Preparing the documents

    We prepare the complete incorporation documents and all related declarations for signature.

  3. Signing and filing

    We arrange signatures in the required form and file the application for registration in the Commercial Register.

  4. Registration and first steps

    We follow the proceedings until registration and guide you through the obligations that follow incorporation.

We handle the entire process for you — from preparing the documents to registration. All you do is review and sign.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a civic association and a non-profit organisation?

A civic association is membership-based and serves the shared interests of its members. A non-profit organisation provides services of general benefit to the public under pre-defined conditions. We will assess which form suits you better during the consultation.

How many people are needed to set up a civic association?

The registration application is filed by at least three citizens forming a preparatory committee, and at least one of them must be over 18.
