More than 14,000 companies have been founded in Prague this year. How do you choose a registered office for a new s.r.o.?

In the first three quarters of 2026 14 353 companies were established in Prague, around 52 percent of the total in the Czech Republic. Founders must select the address before the entry. In addition to the price, it is good to think about where the company mail will go and where they will meet with clients.

Home address, rental or virtual seat

The home address may reduce initial expenses if you have the right to use the premises and do not mind that the address appears in the Commercial Register. A rented office makes sense when you need a place for everyday work or regular customer reception. Virtual seat is an option for a company that does not need its own space. At the offer check who will take over the shipments and whether you can order a meeting room.

What to prepare for notaries

Prepare the name of the company, the data of the founders and managers, the subject of business and the exact address for registration. The legal basis for the use of the premises shall be demonstrated in the minutes if it cannot be established from the public record. If you prove it by the consent of the owner or other authorised person, the written declaration shall not be more than three months old and the signature shall be officially certified.

Two examples from practice

Consultant, who works mostly with clients, can use headquarters for companies in Prague with receive mail and meeting room to book only for occasional meetings. A small remote team can verify in advance whether the entire team can fit in the room and how regular bookings work. If the team meets almost daily, it is worth comparing the offer to the long-term lease.

When selecting the address in the Company Location menu, clarify which services you will really use and what is included in the price. If you need to process the founding documents, look at formation of an s.r.o.
