cégbíróságon

A cégbíróságon (company court) refers to the specific court registry in Hungary responsible for officially recording and publicly disclosing information about companies. Its primary function is to maintain the official company register, which serves as a public record of all legally registered business entities operating within Hungary. This register contains essential details about each company, including its name, registered seat, legal form, share capital, directors, supervisory board members, and any amendments to its articles of association or business activities.

The cégbíróságon plays a crucial role in ensuring legal certainty and transparency in business transactions. Any significant change in a company's structure or operations, such as a change of management, a capital increase, or a merger, must be officially registered with the cégbíróságon to be legally valid and binding. This process ensures that third parties, such as creditors, business partners, and customers, have access to up-to-date and accurate information about the companies they interact with.

The registration process at the cégbíróságon is governed by specific legal provisions and requires companies to submit various documents, including founding documents, amendments, and financial statements. The court then reviews these submissions for compliance with legal requirements before making an entry in the register. This public accessibility of company information fosters trust and facilitates the smooth functioning of the Hungarian economy by providing a reliable source of corporate data.
