FORMATION ROUTES
Which route fits you?
The route depends on your citizenship,
residence and electronic identity.
START system
Fully electronic formation of a d.o.o. or j.d.o.o. in one digital place, without a notary.
Online court register
Electronic formation through the court register is available. Tax number, bank and other steps are handled separately.
Notary route
Founding documents are certified by a notary and filed with the commercial court. Documents signed abroad usually need an apostille and a certified translation.
We confirm the right route for your case in your quote. Source: gov.hr overview of company formation options.
IT STARTS WITH A NAME
A name for your
next chapter.
Croatian law does not provide for name reservation. The court checks the name when it registers the company.
Before filing, we check your proposed name against the court register and ask you for an alternative, so a conflict does not delay registration.
You can also search the public court register yourself.

Before you begin.
Can I form my company fully online?
It depends on who you are. Croatian citizens resident in Croatia can use the START system. EU/EEA citizens can file electronically through the court register. Non-EU founders usually go through a notary, in Croatia or abroad. Your application always starts online, and we confirm the route in your quote.
Do I need to travel to Croatia?
Not always for the formation itself, but often for the bank account. Croatian banks decide independently how they identify new clients, and many ask for an in-person visit. We tell you in advance what to expect for your case.
How long does registration take?
Once a complete application is filed, the court decides on registration within five working days. The overall timeline depends mostly on your documents: tax number, translations, apostilles and notary appointments.
How much share capital do I need?
At least EUR 1 for a j.d.o.o. and at least EUR 2,500 for a d.o.o. Share capital is your company's money, not a fee, and it can be used for business expenses once the company is registered.
When do I pay?
After you receive and confirm your quote. The sequence is always application, review, quote, confirmation, then payment.
Can you be our accountant after registration?
Yes. Accounting, VAT, payroll, annual financial statements and tax returns are provided by Radaić Consulting d.o.o., the accounting and tax advisory firm behind Croatia Company.
Can you give legal advice or represent me?
We coordinate the formation and advise on accounting and tax. Founding documents are certified by a notary. Where your case needs legal representation, we work with licensed attorneys and say so in your quote.
