The first step to be able to start your business in Europe is establishing a company in Slovenia. A non-EU citizen can open a LTD company. The minimal founding capital is 7.500€ and the company is liable for business conduct in that amount.

In addition to the capital, to open an LTD company all shareholders need a Slovenian tax number. The company also needs a business address in Slovenia. Once you have all documents, all shareholders and representatives have to come to Slovenia for company establishment. The whole process takes up to 14 days to complete.

In that time, you sign company establishment documents and open a corporate bank account into which you deposit the founding capital. Once you complete all the processes, you can proceed to doing business in Slovenia.
