01
The cheapest formation route may not fit
A standard SPOT setup works only in defined situations; more complex ownership, contributions or documents can require a notary.

Beyond registration
A registered company is not yet an operating business — or a residence permit
Foreign founders often discover too late that ownership, directorship, work rights, banking, tax and operational registrations are separate questions. We connect them before commitments are made.
02
Company ownership does not grant residence
A non-EU founder needs a separate legal basis to live or work in Slovenia.
03
Tax and banking need early planning
Founder tax numbers, beneficial-owner data, account opening and accounting should be sequenced with the formation.
Choose the support level
From formation to a fully coordinated Slovenian setup
We define the package after the initial review, so you pay for the work your project actually needs.
Setup

Setup + Residence
Everything in Setup, connected with a realistic residence and work-permit strategy for the founder or key staff.

We compare control, liability, capital, residence implications and operating needs before recommending the setup route.
Compare my optionsCore setup decisions
Resolve these questions before the company becomes expensive to change
The right answer depends on the founders, source of capital, business model and whether anyone needs Slovenian residence or work rights.

Starting a business in Slovenia: clear answers for foreign founders
Practical answers based on official Slovenian business-registration information.
Legal information reviewed on 15 September 2026.
Can a foreigner own a Slovenian company?
Yes. Foreign individuals and companies can establish or own a Slovenian company, subject to identification, tax-number, formation and other applicable requirements.
Official sourceHow much capital does a Slovenian d.o.o. require?
A standard limited liability company generally requires at least EUR 7,500 in share capital. More complex contributions or arrangements can require a notarial formation route.
Official sourceIs company registration free?
Eligible standard formations through a SPOT point or the SPOT portal can be free. This does not mean that tax-number, banking, notarial, translation, immigration or professional advisory work is automatically free.
Official sourceDoes opening a company give me Slovenian residence?
No. Company ownership and Slovenian residence are separate legal questions. A non-EU founder must qualify under an appropriate residence and, where relevant, work basis.
Official sourceWhen is a notary required?
A notary is required in various non-standard situations, including certain complex ownership arrangements, contributions other than cash, branches and more complex legal forms.
Official sourceCan Slovenia Law coordinate the full setup?
Yes. We can coordinate formation, immigration, documents and specialist handovers. Regulated notarial, tax and legal services are performed by appropriately licensed partners.
Official sourceThis is general information. Formation, residence, tax and banking requirements depend on the founders, structure, business activity and rules in force at the relevant time.
