The name of your company based on it’s type
First of all, the name you choose must be unique. That means no other companies can have the same exact name. However, it is different whether you have an s. p. or an LTD.
Sole proprietorships have to include the main company activity into the name. If you are a hairdresser, for example, your s. p. name would be: Hairdressing, Name Surname s. p. However you can also use the shortened version for the name of your company. That is only your name and s. p. Additionally, you are allowed to use a fictional name, if you like.
In case of LTD’s the fictional name is obligatory. Limited liability companies use the abbreviation d. o. o. in Slovene. If you are registering an LTD company as a hairdresser, your name could be: Curlycurl, hairdressing, d. o. o. It is also possible to ue the short version, without the business activity. For instance: Curlycurl d. o. o.
