SAIF Zone Company Formation for Austrians

Why SAIF Zone

Importantly, unlike some zones, SAIF Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. Popular activities in SAIF Zone include manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, import/export and industrial, and most of them can be combined on a single licence. GoldenKey has prepared SAIF Zone files for Austrian customers in engineering, hospitality, construction technology and trading, which means we know which Austria papers need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.
