Owner of a company – what is a LTD company?
If you want to do business in Europe as a non-EU citizen, you can open an LTD company. An LTD company is a private company limited by shares. It has to have at least one shareholder and at least one representative. The minimal founding capital in the LTD is 7.500€ and the company is responsible for business conduct in that amount.
The owner of the company is the shareholder in the company. An owner ensures the company’s founding capital when registering the company. The representative in the company is a person responsible for business conduct of the company. What does representative do? For example sign contracts, manage the financial aspect of the company etc.

Does owning a company give you immediate right to apply for work and residence permit? Or no?
Are you citizen of country, which isn’t part of EU? Then you need work and residence permit in order to work in your company and live in Slovenia. If you are owner of the company, you don’t get immediate right for business immigration.
You can apply for work and residence permit if your company fulfills one of the following conditions. So, your company can either:
- invest 50.000€ into fixed assets of the company within the first 6 months from company registration,
- or employ an EU citizen for a period of at least 6 months on a full work day (for example a Slovenian citizen),
- or show company turnover at least 10.000€ each month for 6 consecutive months.
There is also the possibility to obtain work and residence permit if you have a university degree. In that case the company does not have to fulfill one of the above-mentioned conditions.
