Trade License
Launch Your Business in Prague Without the Bureaucratic Headache
Whether you are an English teacher, IT specialist, marketer, or aspiring restaurateur, the Trade License (Živnostenský list) is your ticket to freelancing in the Czech Republic. It is not only the easiest way to start your business but also a cornerstone of your long-term visa or residency application.

Elizabeth and Sean (CAN)
When my wife and I decided to move from Canada to Prague, we were excited… and also mildly terrified. We had read all the warnings about Czech bureaucracy — confusing systems, endless paperwork, offices you don’t fully understand — and trying to manage that on top of an international move felt like a recipe for a nervous breakdown.
Enter MoveToPrague.
Even before we left Canada, Daria helped us figure out exactly what documents to bring so we didn’t arrive already behind. Once we got to Prague, she met with us multiple times and personally came with me to the Ministry appointments — twice — including biometrics. And I can honestly say walking into a government office with someone who knows exactly what they’re doing versus walking in alone are two completely different life experiences.
At one point there was even a technical issue with my application, and Daria basically went to bat for me with the Ministry until it was resolved. That’s not something you can easily put a price on when your legal status in a new country is involved.
The biggest thing for us was peace of mind. We weren’t guessing, we weren’t hoping for the best — we knew we had someone experienced guiding us through every step. Instead of bureaucracy being the main storyline of our first year, we were able to focus on actually building our life here.
It’s honestly hard to imagine having navigated residency and trade licenses for both of us without their help. Worth every penny, without hesitation.
Now we’re settled in Prague, doing well, and very glad we made the leap — and even more glad we didn’t try to do it alone.
