Opening a Business in Slovakia: Registering Sole Traders and LLCs Online

Conducting business in Slovakia is an accessible way to work legally in the European Union. We help entrepreneurs register a Sole Trader ^{(Slovak: živnosť)} or an LLC ^{(Slovak: s.r.o.)} without unnecessary complications.

With Oki-Doki, the business registration process is fully automated: you fill out an application online, upload the necessary documents, sign them with an electronic signature, and receive a ready license without visiting government offices.

Sole Trader registration takes only 4 business days, and LLC registration takes up to 7–10 calendar days. We also provide a virtual business address in Slovakia, which is mandatory for company registration.

Registering a Sole Trader or an LLC in Slovakia: Which to Choose?

There are two main forms of doing business in Slovakia:

Sole Trader (Slovak: živnosť) – easier to manage, suitable for freelancers, consultants, and small entrepreneurs. Registration takes 4 days, and the income tax is 15%.
LLC (Slovak: s.r.o.) – a more formal structure with limited liability for shareholders, suitable for medium-sized businesses and companies with multiple partners. The minimum share capital is 5 000 €, but it does not need to be deposited into a bank account.

If you are unsure which business form suits you, our experts will help you choose the optimal option.
