What Move to Prague - Relocation Services does

Move to Prague – Relocation Services is a Prague-based relocation services firm founded in 2012 that assists individuals and companies relocating to the Czech Republic. The company operates as a legal entity, Move To Prague relocation services s.r.o., and is founder-owned and operated by Jan Kalina (Managing Partner) and Daria, with no external funding. Over 14 years it has served more than 25,000 clients across 130+ nationalities and reports a 98.3% visa approval rate and a 4.8/5 average client rating.

The firm delivers six service lines: Housing search and rental assistance, Visa and immigration applications (including the Digital Nomad visa tied to Czech regulation), Trade License and freelance registration (živnostenský list), Health Insurance aggregation (partnering with Czech insurers such as PVZP, Slavia, and Maxima), Employer Services for companies relocating staff, and ancillary services (banking, tax registration, document legalization). The operating model is expertise-driven rather than technology-driven: there is no proprietary software, no AI/ML components, and no patents. Service delivery relies on a small team of 7 employees executing codified procedural knowledge of Czech immigration, tax, and licensing regimes.

The business model is a hybrid B2C/B2B professional services engagement. Individual clients are acquired D2C through organic content (SEO, the Borderline Czech Podcast) and pay flat fees or usage-based pricing per service line. Employer clients are served through a B2B sales motion for staff relocation work. Revenue is generated primarily from service fees with ancillary commission from insurance referrals. The company has operated without external capital, acquisitions, or leadership changes across 14 years, indicating a capital-efficient, founder-controlled operation.

Broad incumbents

• Sirva: Global relocation services company providing moving, storage, and destination services for corporate and government clients. Comparable as a broad incumbent serving employer-driven relocations with overlapping immigration and settling-in services, but operating at global rather than single-country scale.
• Cartus: Major global relocation services firm serving corporate clients with destination services, immigration, and household goods moving. Comparable as a broad incumbent operating in many source/destination country pairs, versus Move To Prague's single-destination Czech focus.
• Crown Worldwide: Global mobility and relocation company with 60+ years operating across 60+ countries. Comparable as a broad incumbent serving multinational employee relocations with destination and immigration assistance, contrasting with Move To Prague's deep specialization in a single Czech market.
• Santa Fe Relocation: Global relocation and mobility services firm operating in 100+ countries. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering destination services, immigration support, and household goods moving to corporate relocating employees — overlapping with Move To Prague's employer services and immigration lines but at much larger scale and geographic scope.

Others

• CzechInvest: Czech government investment and business development agency supporting foreign companies and entrepreneurs entering the Czech market. Comparable as an adjacent ecosystem participant that supports foreign business setup — partially overlapping with Move To Prague's Trade License and employer-services offerings.

Emerging players

• Expatica: Leading expat information and services platform providing country guides, job boards, and relocation content across multiple destinations. Comparable as an emerging player in expat-targeted content and resources that competes for the same top-of-funnel attention as Move To Prague's owned media.
• InterNations: World's largest expat community platform with millions of members worldwide. Comparable as an emerging player in the expat information, networking, and content space that overlaps with Move To Prague's podcast/blog content strategy and targets the same relocating-individual customer.
• Jobspin: Czech job portal focused on English-speaking and foreign-friendly employment in the Czech Republic. Comparable as an emerging player in the Czech expat-employment ecosystem that intersects with Move To Prague's Non-EU Work segment (Employee Card, Blue Card applicants) at the demand-generation stage.
