You are buying an existing company in Slovenia – additional costs
One of the first reasons why entrepreneurs decide to buy an existing company is to avoid costs. They mostly want to avoid depositing initial capital. When registering a LTD company, it is necessary to pay €7,500 in basic capital. Some think that they can avoid this by buying the company. This is not the case. The previous owners usually withdraw the initial capital. Only then do they sell the company. In order to avoid fines and for the company not to be capital inadequate, you will have to deposit €7,500 after buying the company. This is a big disadvantage because you have already spent money on the purchase of the company, the purchase fee and notary fees.
