How long does a registration in the Business Register take?

Registration in the Austrian Business Register generally takes about six to eight weeks. However, the actual timeframe may vary, depending on the workload of the court responsible for the Business Register or on whether it is an initial registration or an amendment.

If all documents are submitted completely and correctly, processing can often be completed more quickly. Delays usually occur when evidence is missing or corrections are required.

Further information and processing guidelines are provided by the Federal Ministry of Justice (BMJ) on its website.
