In Croatia, a **društvo s ograničenom odgovornošću (d.o.o.)**, or limited liability company, is a prevalent business structure favored by small and medium-sized enterprises. This model offers limited liability protection to its shareholders, meaning their personal assets are generally protected from the company’s debts and obligations.
**Key Features of a d.o.o.:**
– **Shareholders**: A d.o.o. can be established by one or more individuals or legal entities, regardless of nationality or residency. There is no upper limit on the number of shareholders.
– **Minimum Share Capital**: The required minimum share capital is €2,500 (approximately 20,000 HRK). This capital can be contributed in cash, tangible assets, or commercial rights, with at least 50% of the contribution made in cash.
– **Liability**: Shareholders’ liability is limited to their investment in the company, safeguarding personal assets from business liabilities.
– **Management**: The company is managed by one or more directors appointed by the shareholders. Directors can be of any nationality and are responsible for the daily operations and representation of the company.
– **Governing Documents**: The primary governing document is the Articles of Association, which outlines the company’s name, registered address, details of founders, share capital distribution, and the rights and obligations of shareholders and directors.
A d.o.o. is suitable for entrepreneurs seeking a flexible and straightforward business structure that provides limited liability protection. It is particularly advantageous for small to medium-sized enterprises aiming to establish a presence in Croatia.
