I help small businesses, entrepreneurs and experts build and grow their business and protect it legally: 

Legal Forms

The first step to a successful and smoothly running business. Depending on your yearly turnover and running operations, you should choose a legal form tailored to your business needs. This will save you time in management, save you money in taxes and clear your liability towards business partners and customers.

Taxes and social insurance 

Having a clear overview of the taxes and social security contributions required of you and your employees is crucial for planning the next steps within your business. Whether you plan to hire new employees, move to a bigger company structure or take care of your future, there are various possibilities to choose from and you have to take advantage of the most suitable option. 

Business licenses and recognition of qualification 

Most of the economic activities in Austria are regulated through a business license. Depending on the profession, a proof of qualification can also be requested. This procedure can be overwhelming and long, especially if the qualification has been obtained abroad. Well-prepared applications and documents are crucial for the success and a short duration of the procedure.

Company transformation  

Every business owner comes to a point where they know that it is time for a change. Why? Because you will reach the point of growth where you need a bigger company structure or different legal form OR management is taking too long, projects are piling up and you simply can’t find enough time for your services and for running the company. Depending on your personal situation, you may need a new company form, new organization within the teams, a new executive manager, etc. 

Hybrid Working Model 

Hybrid is the new normal! We all received the message, but no one told you it is not that simple to switch from onsite to remote or hybrid working. Creating a short- and long-term strategy as well as adjusting the employee contracts and working policies at the company will save you time and money by having your company running smoothly from the beginning.

Company relocation

If you have started your business abroad and are now on your way to Austria, you have to consider a lot: Are you allowed to offer your services here? Do you need recognition of your diplomas? Are you going to find a branch of your existing company or a local one? What about taxes?
Answering these important questions upfront will save you from a lot of bad surprises and headaches when you arrive.

Blank contracts / Terms and Conditions 

Negotiation and concluding contracts take a lot from you — time, patience and nerves. The key to lessening this overwhelming feeling you experience during the negotiation process is to be prepared and manage partners’ and customers’ expectations. You can achieve this by preparing comprehensive Terms and Conditions and blank contracts for your customers, shortening the process of concluding contracts by half. 

  • What People Are Saying:

  • As a native Austrian I had no idea how to found a business here. Severina guided me friendly and confidently through all the required steps and made my first days as a freelancer much easier, so I could focus on the essentials. I totally recommend Severina as a strong partner in founding a business - both for international and Austrian founders. Thanks again, Severina!

  • My experience with Severina was an awesome one and that goes a long way when you have no clue on what you're supposed to do as a professional who wants to become self-employed in a new country. She was very clear and supportive, even when my questions were not the smartest ones. She made my life waaay easier and I know for a fact that I will ask for her help again in the future.

Becoming self-employed in Austria may be a bit confusing. I would highly recommend talking to Severina, her consultation was very helpful.

  • I was impressed with Severin’s knowledge when she led me through my business registration and the process of obtaining the official signature at the commercial court in Vienna. She also helped me with numerous SVS topics related to my account. Her honest desire to help and the level of professionalism and respect for her clients always amaze me! We’ve been working together for over two years, and I can honestly recommend her services!

  • Severina helped me find my way through the heavily bureaucratic Austrian system when I wanted to register for a business license. She took the time to listen to my specific case, communicated her advice very clearly, filled in the various forms on my behalf, and we closely kept in touch to check on progress and updates. She even walked the extra mile to offer alternative routes to speed up the process when authorities were slow to respond. Her deep knowledge of the legal landscape, procedures, and the right way to communicate with authorities have been most helpful, so thank you!
