Corporate secretarial in Hungary

Corporate secretarial work keeps a company in good standing with the registry: filing changes of directors, address or articles, keeping the company’s decisions and records, and depositing the annual report. In Hungary the annual report is published and deposited electronically, and changes are filed with the court of registration by a legal representative.

Founders abroad often need this because a change of director or a new owner has to be filed in Hungarian through a local representative. Ask a firm who signs and files, how it stores your minutes and registers, how it handles powers of attorney, and whether it can act as the contact for the authorities. Check that it works in your language.
