What our clients say

We have gone through a process of approximately one year. Naturally, during this period, there were many setbacks, problems, and events such as changes in laws. However, it was enjoyable to work with a results-oriented team that constantly took action to solve the newly arising issues. Especially with individuals like Dorka, Anna, Gergö, and Hilda, who help you take different and innovative steps to quickly resolve any problem. They are a team that knows their work, goes beyond the traditional European working style, and is always ready to support you. 🌸
From the company establishment process to post-establishment matters like residence permit applications, they provide significant support in many areas. I must emphasize that when something goes wrong, instead of saying, “This is your problem,” they adopt the mindset of, “Hmm, let’s see how we can find alternative ways to solve this.” Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for everyone in the Finance department, but overall, looking at the Helpers team, I can confidently say you will be working with a positive and professional group. 👌
Most of the team has been with Helpers for many years, so they are highly experienced and knowledgeable about almost everything. Compared to other companies that provide company setup services, they may be slightly more expensive. However, their quality makes this difference seem entirely normal and justified. After working with them, you realize how this small difference in cost positively impacts you.
We sincerely thank the entire team. They are a team I would love to work with again in the future, and I will always keep their contact information saved in my phone. 🤞

My experience with Helpers team is excellent. During almost a year of cooperation we opened LLC company in Hungary, I received residence permit for 2 years. I have assistance in finance questions, accountancy, legal questions. All problems are solved in prompt and smart way. During this journey there were a lot of difficulties and complicated questions, plenty of request from authorities. But due to Helpers assistance actually I’m absolutely sure that any problem could be solved. They are like a part of my company. And I’m confident about this part.
I strongly recommend to establish your business in Hungary with Helpers. You will receive a pleasure from their problem-solving and communication skills. And your company will work properly for sure.
Also my special thanks to Tala Shalati, Anna Kőszegi, Norbert Tekler, Tímea Köbli and Tamara Szabó. I really appreciate that my acquaintance with Hungary began with you!

I was welcomed by HELPERS who understood my expectations and concerns. Even though I came to ask for information on creating my photo studio, she clearly and simply explained the different possible solutions taking into account Hungarian regulations. In short, a very pleasant conversation.

What can I say? Helpers really lives up to its name! Helpers is a classy organization that helps people get their business licenses in a really stress-free laid back way. I was so pleased at how easy it was to work with them and negotiate my needs. As long as you make sure they have all the information and papers that are needed to get the job done, believe me, they GET THE JOB DONE!
I was helped out mostly by Tala, Norbert and Boti. They were all friendly professionals and genuinely kind people!
They respond to emails professionally and promptly. They help and communicate with you through every step of the process and even offer tea and coffee along the way! Really, I couldn’t stress more how convenient it is for someone who doesn’t speak the language to have this sort of help. I couldn’t recommend it more to anyone who needs it!!

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
How are Helpers business solutions different from others available on the market?
First of all, we are the only provider in Hungary that specializes in working with foreign business owners in the small and medium-size sector. Our clients have a lot of special requirements: they usually do not speak Hungarian, are not very familiar with the local market, and they travel a lot – and at the same time, they are used to doing business in a convenient and professional way. Often the small company they set up in Hungary is only a part of a bigger international business venture, or else it may be a family business that is entirely new for them. With 20+ years’ experience working in this niche, we have become experts at finding great solutions for you.
Isn’t it a luxury for a small business to hire a company like Helpers for business support?
Absolutely not. In fact, it is precisely start-ups and small businesses that can make ideal use of our flexible business solutions and business incubator options. Once the company is successful and grows, it can support its own internal structure with specialists and assistants covering every angle. At the beginning, however, it is crucial that the director should focus on the actual business – and leave the administration and daily operation to us.
What is trademark registration?
The name, logo, or slogan of your business can distinguish your company from your competitors, and as such they are considered trademarks. Registering them prevents others from copying your trademark and lets customers recognize your brand. The process may take 6-12 months, but in the end your trademark will be registered retroactively, for the date your application was submitted. You can learn more about the trademark registration process here.
What does invoice certification mean?
When transporting merchandise internationally, especially from outside the EU, you might be required to provide additional proof to the Customs Office for letting the shipment enter the country. This may include submitting the invoice based on which the delivery is being made. However, for that purpose, the invoice must be attested by the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce – after which it will be referred to as a certified invoice or a commercial invoice.
What is a certificate of origin good for?
A certificate of origin proves where goods were created or produced. It may be used for various customs related process in the country of destination, for tenders, insurance, or export financing, just to name a few purposes. It can be issued by the Chamber of Commerce based on various documents, including a certified invoice for the sale.
When do I need a document apostilled?
An apostille is an internationally recognized way of authentication. You are most probably to need an apostille when you are setting up a company in Hungary as a foreign investor through a power of attorney, without travelling to Hungary. However, the method of attestation required will depend on your country of residence and on the purpose of the document. Our colleagues will always check what kind of attestation you need depending on your project, but you can already learn more here.
