Document background
Articles Of Association Constitution represents the foundational document required for establishing and operating a company in Austria. This legally binding document must be created during company formation and requires notarization before submission to the Austrian Commercial Register (Firmenbuch). It outlines the company's fundamental structure, including share capital, shareholder rights, management organization, and corporate governance procedures. The document must comply with Austrian corporate law, particularly the UGB (Commercial Code) and either the GmbHG (for limited liability companies) or AktG (for stock corporations). Any subsequent modifications require shareholder approval and must be registered with the Commercial Register. The Articles serve as the primary reference for resolving internal corporate matters and establishing the company's operational framework.
