Economic activity may be performed by a natural or legal entity in different legal and organisational forms.
Natural persons most often operate as sole traders (samostojni podjetnik or s.p.), legal entities may establish different forms of businesses: the most common are the limited liability company (LLC or d.o.o.) and public limited company (PLC or d.d.).
Non-residents of the Republic of Slovenia have to obtain a Slovenian tax number prior to starting any procedures of setting up a business in Slovenia.
The establishment, management and organisation of companies in Slovenia are regulated by the Companies Act, which is fully harmonised with EU legislation.
What you have to know in order to register a company?:
Prior to the registration procedure, you need the following data:
Company name :
The company name must clearly differ from the names of other companies. Prior to registration, verify the name (company) in the AJPES business register.
Company’s representatives:
Founders of all forms of companies (except sole traders) must appoint at least one company director. They may appoint several directors and an additional procurator. A director who is not employed and is also not a student or retired person must be employed by the company.
Head office of the company:
The head office and business address of the company must be determined upon establishment. The head office is the place where the company’s activity is performed. The business address is also located at the head office (street and number).
Activities of the company:
No specific conditions apply to the establishment of a company; therefore, anyone may establish a company. Any conditions relate to the activity of the company.
In the case of some activities, certain conditions need to be fulfilled prior to implementation – you must obtain permits or ensure that you have the cooperation of a person fulfilling the required professional qualifications. These conditions are termed entry conditions.
Some activities are not bound by any conditions – they are not regulated. Entry conditions may be verified in the list of regulated activities.
Legal forms of companies in Slovenia:
The process of establishment of most common business forms is free of charge, simple and fast. It can be concluded in less than three days from the submission of the application. If you obtain a digital certificate, you may also execute the procedure via e-VEM website or at one of the VEM point locations.
Sole trader (s.p.):
A sole trader (s.p.) is a natural person who performs an activity in the market. The registration of a sole trader is simple and requires only basic accountancy. No founding capital is required to begin operations.
A sole trader is not a legal entity; therefore it retains all profits except tax, and it is personally liable for its own debts.
It is fully liable for your obligations. The law does not distinguish between business and personal assets in matters of liability. In conducting business, sole traders act in accordance with their own concerns and decisions, at their own risk and for their own benefit.
This option is risky for businesses that require large-scale investments.
Limited liability company (LLC or d.o.o.):
An LLC is a legal entity with one founder (single-member LLC) or multiple founders who are not liable for the obligations of their undertaking. Share capital must be paid in; the minimum amount is EUR 7,500, which is also available for operations when the company starts to operate. Share capital can be paid in monetary form or in kind, i.e. real property, movable property, rights etc.
If you are doing business in risky branches with high capital risks or if you plan high profits, this organisational form should be chosen
