Choosing the name of the company during the registration of the company in Slovenia

The name of the company – rules

Before the new amandments came into force in the legislation on corporations (ZGD-1), it was difficult for entrepreneurs to choose the name of the company that complies with all legal rules and would not be similar to other titles.

Now on the basis of amandments, the name of the company may contain foreign characters or a word. In any case, it is a prerequisite for the fact that the activities of the company and the form of the company should be in the Slovenian language.

On the basis of this legislation, of course, oportunities for entrepreneurs are expanded. If the name of the company is in a foreign language, it may be an advantage when entering the market of other EU countries and in cooperation with other EU companies.
