Buying a company in Slovenia/EU or opening a new one?

What about debts?
When buying a company in Slovenia/EU you also accept all existing debts. You can check some aspects of company business, but unfortunatelly you cannot check everything. Which means that new owner has to settle all existing debts. If you choose to open a new company in Slovenia, you can be convinced that you would not have problems of that kind.
Moreover, new owner also accepts lack of foudation capital. That means that previous owner withdrew capital of the company before sale. The new owner has to deposit required foundation capital of 7.500 EUR, because without it the company is financially incapable.

Employment of non-EU citizens
When buing a company in Slovenia/EU you can face another complication. The company can have certain limitations due to inappropriatelly doing business or penalties. If company has violated regulations of Foreigners Act, company can face prohibition for obtaining work and residence permit for foreigners. Which means that it can happen that you buy a company but then cannot hire non-EU citizens. If your goal is to also do business in other EU countries and obtain work and residence permit in Slovenia, we advise you to open a new company and have a clean start without unexpected problems.
