Company changes

Whatever you change in your company, the route is the same. You tell us what you want to change, and we prepare the documents and deal with the Trade Register.

1. We talkYou tell us what you want to change. We explain what it involves, which documents are needed and how much it costs. The consultation is free.
2. We prepare the documentsWe draft the partners' resolution (or the sole partner's decision), the updated articles of association and the registration application.
3. You signYou sign everything needed once: at the office, with an electronic signature or by courier. How to sign from home
4. We fileWe file the application with the Trade Register and follow it until it is resolved.
5. You receive the documentsYou receive the registration certificate or the certificate of registered entries, as applicable.

Several changes to make at the same time? We put them in the same file, and our fee stays the same as for a single change. We have more work, you don't pay more.

You move the company to another address, in the same city or in another county. When you move the registered office to another county, the file is submitted to the Trade Register of the new county, and the company receives a new registration number. The tax code (CUI) stays the same.

How we proceed

After moving, tell your bank and business partners and update the address on invoices and on your website.

A place of business is where the company carries out its activity outside the registered office: a shop, a workshop, a warehouse, an office. A branch has its own organisation but remains part of the company, while a subsidiary is a separate company controlled by the parent company.

Updating to CAEN Rev. 3: companies set up before 2025 must move their activities to the new codes. The original deadline, 25 September 2026, was extended by the Government to 25 March 2027. If you haven't done it yet, we take care of it. Everything you need to know about the update.
