Business Setup and support in Slovenia

Slovenia’s economic stability, advantageous geographical location at the crossroads of trade routes and transparent legislation make it an attractive destination for international investments, in particular for Ukrainian businesses looking for new markets and growth points. The law firm “Prikhodko & Partners” offers comprehensive support at all stages of creating and running a business in the Republic of Slovenia.

Why choose Slovenia?

Before we get into the technicalities, it’s worth understanding the key advantages of Slovenian jurisdiction:

European Integration: As a full member of the EU and the Eurozone, Slovenia provides free access to a single market with 500 million consumers, simplified trade, and the stability of the euro.
Favorable Business Climate: The government actively supports entrepreneurship by offering various programs and incentives to investors. It has one of the most efficient tax systems in the region.
Stability and Security: High political and economic stability makes Slovenia a safe haven for long-term investments.
Virtual Entrepreneur Procedure (VEM): This unique option allows non-residents to register a company and obtain a work permit without being permanently in the country, which greatly simplifies the start-up process.

Key business forms for non-residents

The most popular organizational and legal forms for foreign investors are:

Private enterprise (s.p. – samostojni podjetnik): Analogue of the Ukrainian sole proprietorship. Ideal for small businesses and freelancers. The owner bears full property liability.
Limited liability company (d.o.o. – družba z omejeno odgovornotvog): The most common form for medium and large businesses. The liability of foreign founders is limited to the amount of their contribution to the authorized capital (minimum 7,500 euros). This form provides a high level of protection of personal property.
Joint-stock company (d.d. – delniška družba): Designed for large corporations that plan to raise capital through the issue of shares. The minimum authorized capital is 25,000 euros.

Stages of business registration in Slovenia

The process of establishing a company is structured, but requires a thorough preparatory phase and knowledge of local specifics.

Preliminary preparation and consultation:

Choosing the optimal organizational and legal form.
Developing a business plan.
Preparing the necessary documents (translated and certified).
Reserving the company name. The unique company name is reserved in the Slovenian Commercial Register (AJPES).
Opening an account and forming the authorized capital. At this stage, it is necessary to open a temporary bank account for depositing the authorized capital (for d.o.o.). Our specialists will provide advice on choosing a bank and help you collect the necessary documents.
Signing and notarization of the articles of association. The company’s articles of association, which are the main founding document, are subject to mandatory notarization.

Registration with state authorities:

Submitting documents to the Slovenian Commercial Register (AJPES). The articles of association, articles of association, proof of capital contribution and other documents are submitted.
Registration with the Slovenian Tax Service (FURS). The company receives a tax identification number (ID za DDV).
Registration with the social security system (ZPIZ). Required for registration of employees.
Obtaining licenses and permits: Depending on the type of activity (e.g. trade, tourism, construction), it may be necessary to obtain special licenses.
