What is d.d.?
D.d. (joint stock company) is a company whose share capital is divided into shares. It is suitable for larger businesses, stock exchange listing, or raising substantial capital from multiple shareholders.
Što piše u zakonu? (Definicija)
Shareholders have limited liability — they can lose only the amount invested; personal assets are not at risk. Shares can be sold or gifted. Corporate bodies include the management board, supervisory board (at least 3 members), and the general meeting of shareholders.
💰 Minimum share capital
In Croatia, the law sets a minimum share capital of 200,000 kuna (around €25,000). The minimum nominal value per share is 10 kuna. Unlike a d.o.o., a d.d. requires significantly more capital and a more complex governance structure.
👔 When to choose d.d.?
A d.d. is suitable when you plan a larger business, stock exchange listing, or many investors. For small and medium-sized businesses, a d.o.o. or j.d.o.o. is usually more practical.
🤔Is it worth it for you personally?
If you are reading this as someone planning to open a small graphic studio with a friend, or an IT agency - forget about d.d.! This form is heavy, requires a lot of bureaucracy and expensive accounting.
