Initial capital for s.p. and ltd – what are the differences?
In essence, you don’t need initial capital for registration of s.p. However, you do need for an Ltd company. Also, in that case, the shareholder(s) must prepare a share capital of minimum EUR 7.500. Moreover, the differences between an s.p. and a Ltd. also lie in the legal-form. An S.p. is a natural person carrying out an activity. On the other hand, a limited company is a legal person. Still we need to write few words about who can open s.p. and who can’t. LTD company can be established by anyone. While s.p. in Slovenia can be established just by EU citizens or foreigners who have in Slovenia at least 12 months of work and residence permit. Which of the company type suits your business idea?

What about taxation?
Besides capital, there are some differences in taxation in the two company type. What are they? Also, what applies to the taxation of an s.p.? Basically, there are two choices. It can be a deductible s.p. or it will be taxed by claiming actual costs. Also, in this case, the s.p. is taxed according to the income tax scale. However, the taxation of an Ltd is generally calculated on the profits of the company – at a rate of 22 %. This is the rate of corporation tax. Also, there is also the option of a deductible Ltd.

The question of liability
For many people, the important differences between a sole proprietorship and a limited liability company are liability. In principle, the liability of an s.p. is personal. This means that it is liable for its obligations with all its assets. Also, as a rule, the partners in a limited liability company are liable only up to the amount of their contribution. Also, this means that they are not liable with their personal assets. Which company type suits your business plan? Also, do you find this helpful?
