Choose Slovenia as your business destination – good geographic position

Slovenia is located in central Europe, next to Hungary, Croatia, Austria and Italy. It entered the European Union in 2004 and the Schengen zone in 2007. It also adopted the EURO currency in 2007.

Because of all of these factors, Slovenia has a good geographic advantage. Regardless of its size, it has good highway connection, an international port at the seaside and airports with connections to other EU and non-EU countries. A good geographic position is definitely an excellent reason to choose Slovenia for your business.

Choose Slovenia as your business destination – improved economic situation

Slovenia recovered well after the economic crisis. Currently, the gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 5% in the past year. There is also a growth of export and unemployment decreased because entrepreneurship expanded and more demand for skilled labor was reported.

Because of these factors and Slovenia’s growing recognition outside of its borders, many foreigners come to Slovenia and see it as a potentially good investment possibility. This is one of the main reasons that many foreigners decided to establish their own company in Slovenia. It also gives them a good possibility to expand their business to other EU countries. It is seen as a good starting point to doing business in Europe.

One of the advantages for foreign entrepreneurs who choose Slovenia is how easy it is to establish a company. Foreigners can establish a LTD company and all they need is a Slovenian tax number, 7.500€ founding capital and a business address in Slovenia. All shareholders and directors have to come to Slovenia personally to make the company registration and open the bank account. They have to be present in Slovenia for about 10 days to finalize the process.

Locals and foreigners can register their company at our One-Stop Shop free of charge. In the process of company registration, you receive the act of establishment.
