Main business activity of a company is one of many that a company can perform
Main business activity of a company is a decision which you have to make when you start your business in Europe. Many do not know which one to choose as the main one. At the time of registration, you can enter more activities but one of them must be the main business activity of the company.
How to decide what will be the main business activity of the company?
AJPES keeps a register of companies. Article 13 of the Decree on the Management and Maintenance of the Business Register of Slovenia explains what the main activity is and how to choose it. It means that the main business activity of the company is the one which generates the most revenue for the company. It also means that the majority of added value is generated for the company with that business. Also, most workers in the company engage in that activity.
