To change a managing director of a limited liability company (s.r.o.), you must properly decide on the removal or appointment, prepare the documents and register the change to the statutory body in the Commercial Register. We can help with the documents and filing.
1. Who decides on the change of managing director
The general meeting normally appoints or removes a managing director. In a single-shareholder s.r.o., the sole shareholder exercises the powers of the general meeting. We first check the current memorandum of association, voting rules and how the company is represented.
The appointment or removal itself does not normally require a notarial deed. A notarial deed may be necessary if the founding document must also be amended or if specific legislation or company provisions require it. The number of shareholders alone does not determine whether a notarial deed is required.
2. Prepare the registration documents
Depending on the circumstances, the documents usually required to register a change of managing director include:
- the general meeting or sole shareholder resolution appointing or removing the managing director
- the new managing director’s consent to entry in the Commercial Register and declaration that they meet the legal conditions for holding office
- any further documents proving when the office started or ended and a power of attorney if a representative files the application.
We check which signatures must be officially certified. We also take into account any changes in how the company is represented.
3. File the application with the Commercial Register
File the application without undue delay with the registry court for the company’s registered office. For Prague companies, this is the Municipal Court in Prague. A notary may also enter the change directly if the legal conditions are met.
In 2026, the fee for a court-registered amendment is CZK 2,000and the fee for an amendment entered by a notary is CZK 1,000. If a notary is used, their fee and any additional work are charged separately. After reviewing the documents, we quote a fixed price for our service in advance.
