The BCA position

Incorporation creates the company. Maintenance keeps it legally and commercially functional.

A registered company can quickly become difficult to use when its ownership records, managing directors, address, business activity, beneficial-owner information, accounting file and banking profile no longer describe the same reality. Ongoing support connects these separate workstreams and identifies which change requires which corporate approval, filing or professional review.

01

Maintain the record

Shareholder, director, address, licence and ownership records should reflect the company's current position.

Corporate accuracy
02

Control deadlines

Recurring filings and annual reviews scheduled before the deadline becomes an emergency.

Compliance calendar
03

Document decisions

Material business decisions supported by appropriate shareholder or managing-director records.

Governance evidence
04

Coordinate providers

Corporate, accounting, banking and notarial work following one agreed factual version of the company.

Operational continuity
Ongoing-support service cluster

Recurring maintenance and event-driven corporate work

Some obligations recur every year. Others arise when a director, shareholder, address, capital structure or business activity changes. The scope adapts to a single Austrian company or a wider international group.

Infographic 01 · Annual compliance cycle

An illustrative year for a calendar-year company

Real dates depend on the company's financial year, filing status, tax calendar, employees, licences and ownership structure. This model assumes a calendar-year financial year.

Q1Jan–Mar

Close the prior year

Deliver accounting records, bank statements, contracts and supporting documents.

Corporate-data review

Confirm current directors, shareholders, address, licence and ownership chart.

Plan annual approvals

Identify profit allocation, shareholder decisions and open governance matters.

Q2Apr–Jun

Prepare annual accounts

Directors coordinate preparation of the financial statements and support.

Tax-return workflow

Coordinate accounting and tax-adviser information for the relevant filings.

Ownership verification

Review whether shareholders, control rights or beneficial owners changed.

Q3Jul–Sep

Shareholder approval

Approve the annual accounts and document the shareholder decisions.

Firmenbuch filing

Coordinate filing of the annual accounts within the statutory period.

WiEReG confirmation

Submit changes or confirm existing beneficial-owner information.

Q4Oct–Dec

Next-year budget

Document material funding, investment and intercompany plans.

Provider review

Review registered office, accounting, insurance, banking and recurring arrangements.

Compliance reset

Close open corporate matters and prepare the next annual timetable.

The five-, eight- and nine-month annual-account milestones run from the beginning of the financial year following the reporting period. Exact filing and tax dates must be confirmed for the individual company.

Event-driven support

Changes that should not remain only in an email thread

A commercial decision may require several separate actions: corporate approval, notarial documentation, Firmenbuch filing, beneficial-owner review, tax notification, licence update and bank KYC refresh.

Ownership

Share transfer or new investor

Transfer formalities, shareholder records, governance, beneficial ownership and banking disclosure.

Management

Director appointment / resignation

Corporate approvals, signatures, register filing, banking powers and operational handover.

Registered info

Address or company-name change

Align the Firmenbuch, tax, licence, website, invoices, bank and contractual records.

Capital

Capital increase / shareholder funding

Legal form of funding, approvals, payment evidence and accounting treatment.

Activity

New service or business line

Whether the activity changes company purpose, trade licence, tax profile or bank model.

Group structure

New parent or subsidiary

Ownership chart, beneficial-owner analysis, intercompany framework and records.

Infographic 02 · Change workflow

How a corporate change moves from decision to completed record

The sequence prevents a change from being registered in one place while remaining outdated everywhere else.

Step 01

Identify the change

Define what is changing, the intended effective date and the commercial reason.

Step 02

Map approvals & filings

Shareholder, director, notarial, register, licence, tax and ownership requirements.

Step 03

Execute & submit

Sign the documents and coordinate submissions with professionals and authorities.

Step 04

Update the record

Align internal file, bank, accountant, licences, contracts, invoices and providers.

A Firmenbuch entry may complete the court filing but not the entire change. Banks, tax advisers, trade authorities, insurers, counterparties and the beneficial-owner register may require separate information or supporting documents.

Corporate records

The working file behind a maintained Austrian company

The exact file differs by structure, but recurring support normally depends on a controlled set of current corporate and ownership records.

01 · Ownership

Shareholder file

Shareholder information, ownership chart, transfer documents and governance.

02 · Management

Director file

Appointment, resignation, signing powers, service arrangements and approvals.

03 · Decisions

Resolution file

Shareholder and management decisions supporting material company actions.

04 · Register

Firmenbuch file

Register extract, filings, court correspondence and supporting documents.

05 · BO control

WiEReG file

Beneficial-owner evidence, ownership chain, identity documents and reviews.

06 · Finance

Funding file

Equity contributions, shareholder loans, dividends and intercompany payments.

07 · Operations

Licence & activity file

Company purpose, Gewerbe, responsible persons and activity changes.

08 · Annual cycle

Accounts & filing file

Annual accounts, approvals, filing evidence and coordination records.
