Set Up Auto Repair and Maintenance Business in Liechtenstein

Foreign entrepreneurs interested in opening companies in Liechtenstein now have various industries to choose from, one of the most prolific being the automobiles sector. While most of them would choose the car rental or trucking sectors, others are inclined to open companies which service car and truck owners in Liechtenstein.

One of the best ideas to set up a business in the automobiles industry is to set up a company for offering repair and maintenance services in Liechtenstein. Our company formation agents in Liechtenstein can assist with the business registration procedure.

Registering an auto repair and maintenance shop in Liechtenstein

Those who want to open car repair shops in Liechtenstein need a trade licence from the Office of Economic Affairs, with proof of professional qualification (or a qualified managing director), which makes this type of business one of the easiest to set up. Our local consultants can help you with:

• –          choosing the right type of structure which can be that of a sole proprietorship or of a limited liability company;
• –          drafting and filing the incorporation documents with the Trade Register in Liechtenstein;
• –          registering with the tax authorities and obtaining tax and VAT numbers;
• –          apply for municipality permits for reconditioning the premises where the company will operate.

Once the company is registered, the business owner can start operating the car repair and maintenance business in Liechtenstein.
