Set Up a GmbH in Austria – Complete Incorporation with Power
Establish Your Austrian GmbH Without Traveling
Setting up a GmbH (limited liability company) in Austria is one of the most effective ways for international entrepreneurs to establish a long-term business presence in the European Union. Austria’s strong economy, central location, and reliable legal system make it an ideal base for foreign companies. However, founding a GmbH from abroad can be complex — involving notarial acts, court registration, tax setup, and banking procedures.
Ruttensteiner GmbH simplifies this process entirely. With over 30 years of experience, we handle every step of the GmbH incorporation process on your behalf — from document preparation to court registration.
What Is a GmbH in Austria?
A Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH) is a legal entity offering limited liability, flexibility, and credibility for both local and international operations. It is the preferred legal form for small to medium-sized enterprises entering the Austrian market.
Typical advantages include:
Limited personal liability for shareholders
Simple structure and flexibility for international owners
Eligibility to operate throughout the EU
Attractive tax environment and investor reputation
