CLASSIFICATION OF TYPES OF ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITY IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
  • Craft activity (řemeslné): Traditional professions requiring proof of qualification (e.g., butcher, baker, hairdresser).
  • Qualified activity (vázané): Specialized service types requiring certain qualifications or permits (particularly, accounting services, project activities in construction).
  • Free activity (volné): The most common category. Includes 82 types of activities that do not require special permits or qualifications (trade, services, IT, etc.).
  • Licensed activity (koncesované): A special category for activities that can only be conducted with a special license (concession). For example, the production and sale of alcohol, security services, conducting auctions.
    In addition to standard licenses, we provide solutions for specific types of activities:
  • Gambling/casino license.
  • Payment institution license.
  • Pharmaceutical distributor license.
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturer license.

Czech legislation strictly regulates entrepreneurial activity, and ignorance of the laws does not exempt from liability. Violating the rules can lead to severe financial losses and even the closure of a business.

  • A fine of up to 1,000,000 CZK for conducting entrepreneurial activities without a license, which requires licensing.
