Company registration in Slovenia

Slovenia is situated in Southern Europe, on the Balkan Peninsula. Until 1990, the country was part of Yugoslavia and has since become an independent parliamentary republic. It joined the European Union in 2004, adopting the euro as its official currency.

Slovenia boasts a stable and developed economy, anchored by the production of electronics, electrical equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and light industry. Recent years have seen significant growth in organic farming, foreign trade, renewable energy production, and tourism. Slovenia welcomes foreign investment.

ADVANTAGES OF REGISTERING A COMPANY IN SLOVENIA

The primary advantage that makes Slovenia appealing to foreign investors is its advantageous location.

Other advantages of this jurisdiction include:

economic and political stability;
well-developed transport infrastructure;
a favorable business environment friendly to non-resident entrepreneurs;
ease of company registration;
low costs of the enterprise servicing;
relatively low corporate tax rate (19%);
possibility of obtaining tax benefits.

AVAILABLE TYPES OF BUSINESS ORGANISATION IN SLOVENIA

Depending on the type of business and intended activity, founders can choose from the following organisational and legal forms:

DD — a public limited company. Suited for large and medium-sized businesses. Establishment requires a minimum of five individuals or legal entities; the total number of shareholders is not limited. The minimum authorised capital must be 17,000 euros, with at least 30% required to be deposited into the account at the time of registration.
DOO — a private limited liability company. Can be established by one individual or legal entity, with a maximum of 50 shareholders. The authorised capital must be at least 8,000 euros, of which at least 30% must be deposited into the account before the registration process begins.

FEATURES OF COMPANY REGISTRATION IN SLOVENIA

All sectors of the Slovenian economy are open to non-resident investors, although in certain areas foreign investment may be restricted, with ownership limited to less than 100%. For instance, auditing firms, television and radio broadcasting companies, brokerage firms, and investment fund management companies cannot be wholly owned by foreigners. Additionally, insurance companies with predominantly foreign capital are not authorised to provide reinsurance services in Slovenia.

The process of registering a company in Slovenia is straightforward, typically taking between 5 to 14 working days. Founders are required to provide a standard package of documents, including the personal data of the founders and a prepared charter, all of which must be submitted in Slovenian. Furthermore, opening an account with a local bank is a prerequisite.

Slovenia presents an attractive jurisdiction for investment and starting a business for various reasons.
