Business Setup (OSVČ / s.r.o.)
Freelance trade license vs s.r.o. company — taxes, liability, contributions, visa renewal impact.
OSVČ (živnostenský list) and s.r.o. are not equivalent — and the wrong choice costs months later. We compare them for your case: tax burden, social and health contributions, liability, professional credibility with Czech clients, and how each one affects your visa renewals. You leave with a roadmap, not a sales pitch.
