Registering a trade — Zlínský kraj

Zlínský kraj has 13 municipal Trade Licensing Offices; the regional office is a department of Krajský úřad Zlínského kraje in Zlín. Municipal Trade Licensing Offices are established by law only at municipalities with extended powers (ORP) — not at every town hall, but at selected offices that also handle the agenda for surrounding municipalities in their administrative district. In this region, they are based specifically in these cities: Bystřice pod Hostýnem, Holešov, Kroměříž, Luhačovice, Otrokovice, Rožnov pod Radhoštěm, Uherské Hradiště, Uherský Brod, Valašské Klobouky, Valašské Meziříčí, Vizovice, Vsetín, Zlín. Any of these offices can accept a trade notification regardless of where in the region (or outside it) you have permanent residence or registered seat (sídlo) — the law sets no local competence based on residence. You may also choose an office outside your place of permanent residence — for example closer to work or on your route — all municipal Trade Licensing Offices have the same authority to accept a notification. Apart from an in-person visit, any Czech POINT contact point can also accept the filing and forward it to the competent Trade Licensing Office under § 72 of the Trade Licensing Act. Above the municipal offices stands the regional Trade Licensing Office — in this region it is Krajský úřad Zlínského kraje – Odbor právní a Krajský živnostenský úřad (seat: Zlín). It is an appeal and methodological authority: it decides appeals against municipal office decisions and harmonises their practice, but it does not accept trade notifications themselves — for those, you turn to the municipal offices listed above. Travelling to an office can be replaced by an electronic filing via a data box (datová schránka) or the Citizen Portal (Portál občana) — it is 200 Kč cheaper (800 Kč instead of 1,000 Kč).

Frequently asked questions

Can I file a trade notification here directly, or will I be sent elsewhere?
This office is among the 227 municipal Trade Licensing Offices that actually accept and process trade notifications — unlike a regional office, which only supervises and decides appeals.
When is the office open for in-person filings?
For an in-person filing, allow for office hours on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (exact time ranges differ by day — see the table above); on some days the office has a lunch break. The precise and current schedule is in the office-hours table above on this page.
Do I have to go to the office in person for a trade licence, or can it be handled online?
The notification can also be filed electronically (data box (datová schránka), Citizen Portal (Portál občana)) for 800 Kč, which is 200 Kč less than an in-person filing — travelling to the office is therefore not mandatory.
What is the exact address of this office?
You will find the office at Masarykova 628, 769 01 Holešov — the map above on this page shows the precise location.
What documents will I need at the office?
