A Hungarian company for your European business

Hungary offers a Central European location, EU market access and an established framework for international investment. A Kft. is a common choice for entrepreneurs and foreign-owned operating businesses.

01 / COMPANY TYPE

Limited liability company

A Hungarian Kft. can be established by one individual or corporate member. Full foreign ownership is generally possible, subject to sector-specific rules and investment-screening requirements.

02 / SHARE CAPITAL

HUF 3,000,000 minimum capital

The minimum registered capital of a Kft. is HUF 3,000,000. The founding documents set the contributions and payment arrangements, subject to statutory rules. Capital is separate from service fees.

03 / LOCAL REQUIREMENTS

Hungarian registered office

Maintain a registered office in Hungary and appoint at least one managing director. Non-resident management is generally possible; local correspondence and service arrangements must meet the applicable requirements.

Tax & ongoing compliance

Hungary’s standard corporate income-tax rate is 9%. Local business tax may also apply at a municipal rate of up to 2%, on a separate statutory tax base. VAT, payroll, sector taxes and any minimum-tax rules require separate review. Maintain accounting records, annual financial statements and applicable tax filings.

Questions before you begin

Can non-residents own a Hungarian company?

Foreign individuals and corporate members can generally own a Kft. in full, including a single-member company. Sector-specific restrictions, investment screening and due diligence may apply.

What is the minimum capital for a Kft.?

The minimum registered capital is HUF 3,000,000. The contribution type, amount and payment schedule must comply with the founding documents and statutory rules. Deferred contributions can involve distribution restrictions and member liability.

Does the company need a Hungarian registered office?

Yes. The company needs a registered office in Hungary with the appropriate right to use the address and arrangements for receiving official correspondence.

Can the managing director be a non-resident?

Non-resident managing directors are generally possible. The proposed director must satisfy legal eligibility requirements, while local service, correspondence and any activity-specific obligations must also be addressed.

The company must keep accounts, prepare and publish annual financial statements and complete applicable tax filings. VAT, payroll, audit and special tax obligations depend on the circumstances.

Can BRIS GROUP help with banking and registration?

We coordinate the agreed incorporation documentation and local professional support. Remote arrangements depend on identity checks and document formalities. The bank applies its own onboarding requirements and makes the account-opening decision.
