Opening a company in Slovenia

The answer to the question what do I need to open a company in Slovenia mainly depends on what kind of company one wishes to open. The most popular company is the limited liability company called “d.o.o.” Its main benefit is that the owners are not responsible/liable for the debts of the company or to be more precise are only liable with their share capital. Beside the limited liability company in Slovenia one may also open a sole trader “s.p.”, general partnership “d.n.o.”, limited partnerships “k.d.”, limited partnerships by shares “k.d.d.”, joint stock company “d.d.”, etc.
