They also find that growth is attributed to domestic demand driven by consumer optimism. At the same time, there is a strong increase in investments due to the new cycle of European investments.
If you have a business idea, it’s now time to think about how to put it into practice! Increased domestic demand and forecasts for the further growth are surely good news for micro and small entrepreneurs who decide to open the company in the New year!
If you are non-EU citizen, you can open an LTD in Slovenia. If you are an EU citizen or you have at least 1 year of residency in Slovenia, you can also become sole proprietor!
3. Open a company at the beginning of the New year – business opportunity
To start a business at the beginning of the New year is the easiest also from the point of view of accounting.
With final reports, especially with a final balance or a tax return, if you are keeping your books with normative costs, you will deal at the end of the year. You will only have the costs then. If you are reasonably expecting to make a profit with your business, it’s better to do business for several months in financial year, as your profit will be destributed. This will affect how much tax and contributions you will have to pay in the next financial year.

According to the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia, the average monthly salary for October 2017 was 1.1% higher than in September 2017 and 3.4% higher than the salary for October 2016. Thus, in October 2017 the average salary was 1,621.46 eur gross (1,056.47 eur net). The average was higher in the private sector, while in the public sector it was about the same as in the previous month.
Higher average monthly wages may also mean higher disposable income for households. This is another good news for micro and small entrepreneurs who focus primarily on the local market and decide to open the company in the New year.
