Cost architecture

A total price should explain itself.

Each package shows the provider fee for a defined scope. The full transaction cost — capital treatment, taxes and third-party costs — is shown as separate components, never folded into one ambiguous headline.

Each package price is the provider fee for a defined scope of work. The complete cost composition is presented before commitment, and company-specific details are provided before reservation.

How much does an Austrian shelf company cost?

Each package shows a provider fee: GmbH Essential €7,900, GmbH Premium €14,900 and GmbH Enterprise €24,900; company formation is quoted for your case. That fee covers a defined scope of coordination work.

The full transaction cost is separate and company-specific: the company’s capital treatment, VAT where applicable, third-party notary, court and translation costs, and any optional services are each shown independently and labelled included, conditional, estimated or optional — so the headline fee is never mistaken for the total.

Third-party costs are estimates outside the provider’s control. Conditional costs may change once compliance checks, document languages, ownership structure or intended activity are known.

Transparent formula

Five components. No ambiguous bundle.

The final interface will display what is fixed, what is estimated, what may change after KYC and what is optional.

  4. Notary, court & translation

  • Provider fee
  • VAT where applicable
  • Notary costs
  • Court and register costs
  • Translations
  • Banking-related costs
  • Address services
  • Management services
  • Optional post-acquisition services

The company-specific total is confirmed before commitment. No line is folded into the displayed fee.

What buyers need to see

Fixed, estimated, conditional or optional.

Every line item receives one of those labels. Material exclusions do not belong in tooltips or a legal page hidden from the buying decision.

Fixed

An approved amount that applies to the stated company and scope.

Estimated

A third-party cost or range that may change with the transaction.

Conditional

A cost dependent on KYC, documents, language, ownership or intended activity.

Optional

A selected post-acquisition service, separately scoped and priced.
