Liberal Professions

If you wish to pursue a liberal profession, such as an actor, musician, writer, or translator, you generally do not need a trade license.

A trade license is also not required for certain professions regulated by specific legislation. These include, for example, lawyers, tax advisors, court-appointed experts, and notaries. However, to practice these professions, you must meet the requirements established by the relevant legal regulations.

Different rules apply to business activities in the areas of agriculture, forestry, and water management. In such cases, individuals must register in the Agricultural Business Register maintained by the competent municipal authority.

Specific instructions for starting a business for individual professions are available on businessinfo.cz in the Business Guide section. You can for example check out the step-by-step procedure of becoming a lawyer in the Czech Republic.
