Czech Self-employment for Expats!
It's Easy with my help (I'll do the difficult parts for you!)
Self-employment in Czech Republic is possible with a Živnostenský List (Živno for short) or a Trade License.
You may know this as ZZP, independent worker, sole proprietor, one-man business, freelancer, external contractor, sole trader, private or individual entrepreneur, remote worker, remote employee or LLC in your own country.
In any case a Trade License is not a company / Ltd / GmbH. It is not a separate legal entity.
In 95% of the cases, opening a Czech Ltd (SRO) is also really a bad choice - despite what you may have read / heard / been recommended. We'll gladly explain what the difference is and why we believe you really should not open an SRO (in most cases).
The typical client is a digital nomad / consultant, programmer or IT specialist, most often working from Czech Republic for a foreign company (in the EU or USA) with Revenues between 50.000 and 200.000 Euros / USD.
