A sole proprietorship can open and close whenever
As mentioned above, there is no minimum, as far as the operating time of an sole proprietor (s.p.) is concerned. To clarify, an entrepreneur can open a business, operate it and close it whenever he wants. This is the case for both regular and part-time s.p.’s. Let’s look at an example. Someone wants to work on a project. They come to the DATA point to register a sole proprietorship. In such cases, they usually choose to determine the profits, based on standard expenses. When the project is over, they can close the s.p. If a new project comes along, they open it up again.

To repeat, there is no minimum operating time. An entrepreneur can open and close a company anytime. However, he has to meet some conditions. All of the tax obligations with the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia (FURS) have to be settled. At any rate, the registration authority assigns a new business registration number. For every time a company is (re)opened. What about the costs? As a matter of fact, there is only one expense. That is the cost of the final report on closing an s.p. The entrepreneur has to send it to FURS. Usually an accountant prepares the report.

Minimum operating time for LTD’s
A limited liability company also does not have a definel minimum operating time. However, there are time restrictions for the establishment of new companies. How? The Companies Act (ZGD-1) states that one cannot open a company, if they already opened one in the last 3 months. Here we are talking about limited liability companies. Part of this are also people who got a share of an LTD in the last 3 months. On the other hand, this does not apply to medium and large companies. Additionaly, inquiring a share through inheritance also does not count.
