Company legal address in Serbia in apartment
Can the headquarter of a company in Serbia be located in an apartment? Can headquarter of LLC or sole proprietor be in an apartment?
Company headquarters in an apartment is one of the options you can choose, and there are other options such as renting a virtual office or renting a business office. When registering a company, you do not need proof on the basis of which you are registering the company at an address. After opening the company, you need to make a lease agreement between the company and the owner of the premises at the address of the company headquarters. If the owner of the premises is a natural person, it is necessary to submit the lease agreement to your accountant for the purpose of calculating tax on rent.
It is increasingly common for foreign citizens to rent an apartment, but due to traveling to their home country, sometimes they do not need that apartment for a long time, so they cancel the lease and find a new apartment when they return. That is why it is important to mention that if there is a possibility that you will change the location often, then a virtual office is a good solution for you. You should keep in mind that every time you change the address of the headquarters, if you also change the municipality, you must deregister all employees from the insurance, and then register them again. You should do the same for family members who are insured through employees. Also, the call to the number for income tax is also changed, you have to deregister for utility tax, eco tax and the like, and then register again. That is why a virtual office is a good solution for companies that often change their address.
On the door of the apartment and on the mailbox, it is necessary to highlight the name of the company.
In addition to the obligation to highlight the name of the company at the address of the headquarters, it is also necessary to regularly receive the mail sent to you by the Tax Administration, because if you do not receive any mail, it will be returned to the Tax Administration and in that case the Tax Administration deactivates the PIB of the company, which means blocking the company’s bank account. The reactivation of the PIB takes time, and during that time you cannot use the money in the company’s bank account.
Risk for the lessor when the legal address of the company is in the rented apartment or space
When the legal address of the company is in a rented apartment or office, the lessor faces the risk that the company-tenant will remain indebted to someone, and in that case the court executors may come to the address of the company’s headquarters and it may happen that persons whose things (furniture etc) are located at the address of the company’s headquarters must prove that the things are theirs. Generally, lessors are natural persons who do not have bills for the things they have in the space they rent out, and this increases the possibility that they cannot formally prove that the things are theirs. Also, in order to comply with the appeal procedure against the executor’s decision, it is often necessary to pay for the legal assistance of a lawyer, which can cause additional costs to the apartment owner.
This is a common reason why certain persons do not agree to register the company’s headquarters at their address when renting out an apartment.
This is also a risk when issuing a virtual office, and that risk certainly affects the price of renting a virtual office.
If the lessor of the space you are using does not agree that the headquarters of the company should be at the address you are renting, our virtual office service is at your disposal.
Your company, in addition to having its headquarters at one address, can use space at another address. It is only necessary for your accountant to register a separate business unit through the Tax Administration portal and thus inform the Tax Administration that your company operates at another address, and not only at the address of the headquarters.
Can there be two companies at the same address?
Yes, 2 companies can be at the same address. There are no obstacles for the headquarters of 2 companies to be at the same address. Each of the companies must have a legal basis for using the address of the company’s headquarters, which is usually a contract for the lease of real estate located at the address of the company’s headquarters.
An alternative to the headquarters of the company in an apartment – a virtual office
An alternative to registering the address of the company’s headquarters at the address of the apartment is the registration of the address of the company’s headquarters at the address of the virtual office.
