The public or private limited liability companies are proper and recommended business forms through which a\u00a0<strong>subsidiary in Croatia<\/strong>\u00a0can be established. For a minimum share capital of EUR 25,000, a public limited liability can be registered, in order to start the activities as a subsidiary.

These are incorporated companies, kept on a shelf and ready to be bought by persons who would rather skip the formation process of a company in Croatia. Shelf companies do not have activities, and therefore no financial activities, no liabilities, and debts.
