How do I check whether a company is still active in Czech Republic?
Identify the exact company in ARES, then record its status, source and retrieval date. Active registration does not prove current trading or financial health. Liquidation is not the same as dissolution; interpret each status using the official register's terminology.
Step-by-step
- 1
Find the company
Search by name or registration number to open the correct record.
- 2
Read the status field
Preserve the exact status wording and its effective date where supplied. Consult the official explanation; a non-active label is not by itself a fraud verdict or a complete legal opinion.
- 3
Check the available filing dates
Distinguish the document date, status effective date and retrieval date. Filing schedules vary by entity and jurisdiction, so a gap is a question to investigate rather than proof of non-compliance.

Confirm at the source
Status changes propagate from ARES at https://ares.gov.cz. For a decision with money attached, confirm there.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if a Czech Republic company is still trading?
The register's status field is the authoritative answer. An active/registered status on ARES means the entity is currently on the register. It does not by itself prove the business is operating, so also check the most recent filing date.
What does "dissolved" or "struck off" mean?
These labels generally indicate a registration has ended or been removed. Check the source's explanation and any subsequent reinstatement or successor filings. Contract validity and legal consequences require separate advice; they cannot be decided from this field alone.
Is checking company status in Czech Republic free?
LemReveal's basic lookup is free. Check ARES's current access terms for status information or official documents; fees and account requirements vary.
What is an IČO?
IČO (Identifikační číslo osoby) is an 8-digit identification number assigned to every economic subject in the Czech Republic. It's the primary identifier for all business interactions with government and other businesses.
