VERIFICATION OR DUE DILIGENCE OF REAL ESTATE IN SLOVAKIA
Due diligence (legal audit) of real estate objects or rights to it is especially relevant in order to minimize possible risks that may appear in the course of economic activity by the new owner of the real estate object.
A legal audit usually includes:

- execution of the conclusions of the report;
- making a decision based on the received information.
Generally speaking, real estate due diligence is a necessary stage of any real estate purchase, as its scope and form depend on the specific object and the buyer’s needs. That is why, turning to professionals in the field of construction and real estate transactions will help you not to get into an unpleasant situation.

How long does company registration take?
Registration as a sole proprietor (živnosť) usually takes up to 4 business days. Registration of a full limited liability company (s.r.o.) takes 7–10 days from the date all required powers of attorney are signed.
Can I open a company remotely without travelling to Slovakia?
Yes, the registration of a company or sole proprietorship can be completed entirely remotely on the basis of a notarised power of attorney. However, your personal visit will be required to submit biometric data for a residence permit to the immigration police, as well as for final identification at certain Slovak banks.
What taxes will I pay as a small business?
In 2026, legal entities with annual income of up to EUR 100,000 are subject to a reduced corporate income tax rate of 10%. If you operate as a sole proprietor, the system allows the deduction of so-called “flat-rate expenses” (a fixed percentage of expenses without supporting documents), which makes the tax burden minimal.
When is a company required to register for VAT?
Mandatory VAT registration arises if your company’s turnover in Slovakia over the last 12 months exceeds the threshold of EUR 50,000. It is also possible to register for VAT voluntarily at the launch stage if this is necessary for working with your European counterparties.
