Questions
Asked before every AT setup.
What is the FlexKapG?
Austria's start-up entity (since 2024): €10,000 minimum capital, simplified share transfers and employee participation. Great for founders planning to raise.
Do I need an Austrian trade licence?
Most activities need a Gewerbeberechtigung; regulated trades need a qualified managing director. We check yours during scoping.
Can non-EU founders own 100%?
Yes — ownership is unrestricted. Residence rights are a separate question we can address with partners.
