Contact us
Our virtual office service includes not only a prestigious registered address and mail forwarding, but also complex administrative support that would normally be provided by an employee of the company: opening and scanning all mail, determining where each letter has to be forwarded, which requires the CEO’s attention, providing short summaries in English if needed, etc. Our service allows you to concentrate on your business without having to deal with the above.
Seat address
At the company’s seat, your company name must be indicated in accordance with regulations. Also, your mail and all other enquiries (including possible inspections by authorities) should be handled without delay by a competent, Hungarian-speaking person who understands the regulations and the company’s obligations.
Mail forwarding service
The registered seat and mail forwarding service by Helpers covers all of the above, which makes this service a comfortable, reliable, and cost-effective solution for any foreign-owned company in Hungary. Your registered address will be a prestigious one. All your urgent mail will be forwarded electronically within 3 business days to you or directly your accountant. So you will not have to worry about it at all – this is really convenient when response deadlines are short (at times 5 or 8 days). If something does require your personal attention, we will summarize it and give you instructions in English, at no extra charge.

What our clients say

Helpers was dedicated to facilitating my case. There were several instances where I thought I would not succeed and I simply would have been lost in the maze of bureaucracy without them. The initial application submission assistance is convenient and relatively easier than doing it yourself, but the real value in this service is having a third party closer to the inside that is more fluent in the language and can help eliminate the inevitable confusion and complication. Rest assured Helpers can simplify and illuminate the path to success for you.

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. 🤞

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!!

Setting up a company in a foreign country can be daunting, but Helpers Hungary made it a seamless experience. They provided comprehensive support, from choosing the right business structure to handling all the legal formalities. Their local insights and understanding of the Hungarian business environment were invaluable, allowing me to make informed decisions and avoid potential pitfalls.
The team’s dedication to their clients’ success is truly commendable. They were always available to answer my questions, address my concerns, and offer practical solutions. Their friendly and approachable manner made me feel at ease throughout the entire process.
In summary, Helpers Hungary exceeded my expectations in every way. Their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support were instrumental in helping me achieve my goals. I highly recommend Helpers Hungary to anyone seeking assistance with residence permits or business setup in Hungary. They truly did a great job, and I am incredibly grateful for their outstanding service.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
What is a registered seat and why do I need it?
In Hungary, a registered seat is a legal business address. This is where government authorities will expect to find your company, therefore it is crucial that a competent person is there to handle any incoming mail or enquiry. It is best if the company’s seat address remains the same throughout your Hungarian operation, while you might want to move your shop or office location as your business grows.
What is a virtual office?
The virtual office is a service that provides a legal physical address that serves as your company’s registered seat, complete with competent, Hungarian-speaking staff who are there to receive all mail, as well as deal with possible enquiries from the authorities. Moreover, our service contains administrative support besides the mail forwarding services: we open your letters, decide where each has to be forwarded, securely dispose of junk mail, and only email you when something requires your attention, providing a short English summary of the content of lengthy official letters written in Hungarian if necessary. This leaves you free to handle only those items that require your personal touch.
How often will I receive my mail from your forwarding service?
We forward your mails within 3 days (scan copies sent electronically). However, in many cases you will not have to deal with the mail at all – for example, we will forward all accounting-related paperwork and notices to your accountant directly, especially if the mail is in Hungarian.
I have a Hungarian friend – can I ask him or her to receive and handle my mail?
You can, but only if your friend can guarantee that your company’s name and details will be displayed at his or her place in the manner dictated by law; that s/he will be able to represent your company if a tax inspector shows up (at times unannounced) to check up on the business; that s/he will know what to do with urgent mail from authorities that often require a response or action within just a few days; and that s/he will take responsibility (and offer you compensation) in case you miss an important deadline or inspection because s/he is away traveling. Otherwise, you are better off with a professional registered seat provider like Helpers’ partners.
Is answering the phone for my company included in the virtual office service?
No, it isn’t. The virtual office is where authorities expect to find you. They will always contact you in a written form, and letters can easily be forwarded to the person responsible (mostly your accountant). Authorities will never try to contact you via the phone. If you need someone to pick up the phone and answer questions on your or your company’s behalf, you will need to hire an assistant, who can always give up-to-date answers to callers.
Can I use my seat address as an office?
Basically, you cannot work from there or schedule meetings with your partners, but it is possible to book a meeting room or a co-working space at our seat address partners (separate service).
