ettevõtluskõlbluse

ettevõtluskõlbluse refers to the legal capacity of a natural or legal person to engage in entrepreneurial activities. In essence, it is the qualification to conduct business. For individuals, this generally means reaching the age of majority and not being legally incapacitated. Minors may have limited business capacity, often requiring parental consent or legal guardianship for certain ventures. Individuals who have been declared legally incompetent by a court may also have their business capacity restricted or removed.

For legal entities, such as companies and foundations, ettevõtluskõlbluse is inherent in their establishment and registration. Once legally formed and registered according to the relevant laws, they possess the capacity to enter into contracts, own property, and conduct business operations within the scope defined by their articles of association or founding documents. The capacity of a legal entity can be affected by factors such as insolvency proceedings, liquidation, or specific prohibitions imposed by law or regulatory bodies. Understanding ettevõtluskõlbluse is crucial for ensuring that business activities are conducted legally and that contractual agreements are valid and enforceable. It forms the bedrock of legitimate commercial transactions and the functioning of the economy.
