European markets have a related economizing and identical lawmaking for all EU member states. In most cases, this means that a company that has licenses for activities in one of the countries of this formation can operate without restrictions in the market of other states. This approach makes it possible to issue a crowdfunding CNB license in the Czech Republicand offer its usefulness throughout the EU.

The Czech Republic is considered one of the best countries for work. It has a stable economy, emerging markets, and many prospects for growth. Therefore co-owners are ready for acquisitions in this region. To work in the Czech`s you should obtain investment license in the CR. That approach is similar to many Europeans countries. However, there are also a few peculiarities that corporate founders should pay attention to.

Essentials for Obtaining an investment`s license in the CR

According to the new crowdfunding legislation in the Czech Republic, all issues associated with the registration and issuance of permits are handled by representatives of the Industry`s and Trade`s Ministry. Their experts may bid info on the plans of the permitted entity, co-owners, and docs confirming the origin of budgets for acquisition movements. In the application, the client must show that his acquisition will be in the interests of the Czech`s and will be able to bring a good return not only to him but also to the state.

To get this license, the co-owners must meet the subsequent prerequisites:

  • present a straightforward assignment strategy for the acquisition with infos regarding the purposes and the expected percentage of funds, as well as spelling out the predictions of arrows and further important info;
  • exemplify assignment calculations, indicating the investor’s usefulness and the Republic`s usefulness (e.g., increased budget revenues to the treasury);
  • equip docs affirming the registration of the legal entity and data on its shareholders;
  • to consult the regional authorities and receive their recommendations for the creation of an acquisition fund.

Co-owners also undertake to relent with the rules stipulated in the license, and not to violate the essentials for the employee’s safeguard or the environment. Acquiring permission is compulsory if the acquisition exceeds 4 milliono EUR. It is also essential to acquire it for investors who want to work in the fields of exuberance, transportation, and transmissions.

The process of obtaining such a document is not quick and may take several months. The Czech controls will conduct a thorough analysis of the documents submitted to them. But if all the conditions have been met, then you will get a permit and you can conduct your business in this country and throughout the EU.

What docs should be submitted

To make investments in the Czech Republic corps need to furnish many docs that should meet the essentials of the state regulator. Most corporations are also directed to provide:

  • Acquisition project`s plan. This document contains general plans with data on the number of funds to be invested, the term of the project, the purpose of the acquisition, and foretellings of profits;
  • The Charter of the company, which is executed under the laws of the countryside;
  • Documentation substantiating the privilege of the real estate, if it will be used for the assignment;
  • Announcements on the financing. In these docs, it is important to describe the economic component of the assignment. This concerns the investor’s capability to finance the project at the stated level and confirmation of the legal source of funds.

In some cases, the regulator may request additional docs, which may be communed to the enrollment of the legal entity, the correspondence of the corporation and the scope of acquisition, etc.

Opening`s steps by the fund

To form this doc, the corporation must enlist and open an investment fund in the Czech Republic. It is recommended to complete this process before applying for a license. Without an officially registered legal entity, these procedures cannot be started.

The process of unfurling an acquisition fund consists of the subsequent steps:

  • selection of a permitted form as the basis of organizational and legal relations with clients and the state. Most often it is an open or closed investment`s funds;
  • accepting an acquisition fund`s permissions from the local Central Bank (the approach is very similar to the investment`s permissions granted by the relevant ministry);
  • registration of a fund with the Commercial`s Register (submission of an app and docs concerning the promoters and managers of the fund);
  • the hiring of a licensed surveillance company (in the CR the investments can only be made through management companies);
  • the launch of the fund.

It will take several months to open such a legal entity. Once all procedures have been completed, investors can start to select the right project and acquire a license to finance it.

Who can help in the docs obtaining

Collecting docs for the project is a very time-consuming approach. The founders have to collect the docs to spread an Investment fund in the Czech Republic, then accept a privilege from the Central Bank, and after the selection of the project acquires and needed docs from the Ministry.
