About the event

Are you an entrepreneur in Austria contemplating the most suitable legal structure for your business? 

Do you want to understand the differences between a Sole Proprietorship (EPU) and a Limited Liability Company (GmbH) and gain clarity on when it might be advantageous to transition from one to the other?

Our aim is to equip you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about your business's legal structure.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A session, enabling them to seek clarifications and gain personalized insights based on their unique situations.

The speaker will attempt to answer all questions asked by you with the use of your microphone or in the Zoom Chat during the presentation - the questions will be answered right away, or at the end during the general Q&A part - the speakers will decide about this.

To ask your question or share during the webinar (using your microphone) please use the "raise hand" function in Zoom and the moderator will unmute you at the appropriate time.

In such cases please keep questions as short and clear as possible so the speaker can complete the presentation within the planned time frame.
