Cleaning service as a business idea in Slovenia, EU

Due to the busy lifestyle of individuals, there is usually not enough time to spend for cleaning apartments or offices. Especially in business, certain business activities also require to have the premises cleaned in a particular manner. Because of the growing demand, opening a cleaning service in Slovenia is a good way to start your business in Europe.

First step: opening a company in Slovenia

If you want to provide cleaning services as a business activity, the first step would be to register a company in Slovenia. Being a non-EU citizen, you can register an LTD company fast and easy. It can have several shareholders and representatives and requires 7500€ starting capital. Also, you would need to provide a business address to the company and obtain Slovenian tax numbers for all shareholders and representatives.

Once you have everything, you will have to visit Slovenia to sign the act of establishment and open a bank account where you deposit the 7.500€ to. After the company is officially established, you can proceed to doing your business in Slovenia.

What are the appropriate business activities and conditions you have to register for a cleaning service in Slovenia?

When preparing the act of establishment for your cleaning service, you have to make sure to include the right business activities. Because you can only provide those services that you registered within the company.

For a cleaning service you will have to register the following business activities:

• general (unspecialized) cleaning of buildings;
• cleaning of offices and business premises, factories, shops and other commercial and residential real estate;
• cleaning off the outside areas of buildings (displays, arcades, …).

Those business activities are listed in the Standard Qualifier of business activities (SKD 2008) under the number 81.210.

Within the business activity, you can also offer a general cleaning of an apartment. This can include cleaning ceramics, sanitary equipment, kitchen equipment, dishes, sorting clothes, etc.

As an additional service, you can also sell cleaning supply to clients but for that you would have to register additional business activities.
