Bookkeeping and Accounting Services in FBiH: Rights and Responsibilities of a Sole Proprietorship Owner

Starting and operating an independent business activity or a sole proprietorship in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina brings numerous operational advantages—from a simpler registration process to more flexible management of cash funds compared to limited liability companies (d.o.o.). However, conducting business as a sole proprietorship involves a specific legal and financial status, as the personal identity of the owner is legally inseparable from the business itself. Compliance with the FBiH Law on Crafts and Related Activities, the FBiH Law on Income Tax, fiscalization regulations, and the Decree on Cash Payments enforces strict business rules.
