Only four steps are required to establish a limited liability company through HITRO.HR. In the process of starting a company, HITRO.HR staff will help you as an intermediary for delivering and collecting documents for company incorporation.

First you must choose a name for your company. The staff of  HITRO.HR service can help you check the register to find out whether a company by the chosen or similar name already exists. Therefore, in addition to the selected company names it is recommended to prepare alternative names. After checking the names of companies, HITRO.HR will refer you to make a reservation for the company  name. When checking the name for your company, use the court registry website http://sudreg.pravosudje.hr.

IMPORTANT! Be aware of this when choosing a company name:

• Company name must be clearly distinguished from the other names registered in the court registry, the identity or association with another company that violates the rights of intellectual and industrial property rights or rights of other people,
• The word "Croatia" and its derivatives may be entered in the company only with the consent of the and State authorities,
• Company name cannot contain names, logos, flags or other national emblems of other countries or international (intergovernmental) organization, nor official signs for control and quality guarantee,

• Company name must be in Croatian language and Latin script, and there can be used Arabic and Roman numerals,
• Company name may contain foreign words if they are common in Croatian language, or if they do not have appropriate replacement word in the Croatian language,
• Company name can be translated into one or more foreign languages and as such appear in the incorporation documents,
• The court will refuse to register a name that are protected by other contravene legislation,
• “the principle of priority” is applied, it means that the court will register that company name  that was previously reported (in the case of application of the same company name to the same register court).
  

Documents necessary for company registration must be sealed by the Public notary. When paying a visit to a public notary, take your ID card or passport (required if you are a foreign national) with you. All founders and other persons whose signatures are to be verified must be present.

You can make the payment of court fees and the initial capital at HITRO.HR. At the HITRO.HR counter you will recive an RPS Form which you will have to fill out in order to obtain Registration by sector from the National Bureau of Statistics. All required forms and payment slips are available at HITRO.HR counters free of charge. Our staff will deliver and collect documents for you from the Court registry and National Bureau of Statistics. Once the registration is approved HITRO.HR staff will contact you in order to takeover the incorporation documents.

After registration is completed your company needs to make an official stamp and open a business account so that the initial capital could be transferred into your company account.
