Answers to the questions we hear most often

Simply write to us, call or fill in the contact form. We will get back to you and arrange an initial consultation.

We set the price individually depending on the scope of the service. You always know it upfront, before any work begins.

Most steps can be handled remotely. A personal meeting in Žilina is of course possible.

Yes. We handle the entire process for you, including steps that require a special form. All you do is review and sign.

Confidentially. We use the information you provide solely to handle your request.

Yes. Thanks to remote cooperation, we work with clients wherever they are based.

A civic association is membership-based and serves the shared interests of its members. A non-profit organisation provides services of general benefit to the public under pre-defined conditions. We will assess which form suits you better during the consultation.

The registration application is filed by at least three citizens forming a preparatory committee, and at least one of them must be over 18.

A cooperative must have at least five members when it is formed. This does not apply if at least two of its members are legal entities.

It depends on how quickly the documents are ready and on the registry court’s timelines. At the initial consultation we will tell you what timeframe to expect.

Mainly details of the shareholders and managing directors, a proposed business name, the registered office address and a list of the activities you plan to carry out. You will receive an exact list after the initial consultation.

No. We handle the official steps for you. We need the documents and your signatures — we will explain in advance how signing works.

We set the price individually depending on the scope of the service. Our quote also shows the fees payable to the state.

A simple joint-stock company has a much lower minimum share capital, does not need a supervisory board and allows more freedom in setting the rights attached to shares. Its shares, however, cannot be publicly traded on a stock exchange.

Yes, but its advantages really show when you expect further shareholders to join. Otherwise a limited liability company may be the simpler choice. We will look at it together during the consultation.

A joint-stock company has a higher minimum share capital, mandatory bodies including a supervisory board and stricter rules of operation. On the other hand, it makes it easier to bring in investors and transfer shares. We will assess which form suits you better at the consultation.

Yes, a change of legal form is possible. We will go through the procedure and documents with you individually.

Yes. We start by reviewing the current state of the company and its documents and propose what needs to be put in order.

Yes, and it is often more efficient. We prepare the changes together and file them in a single application.

We review the current state and prepare everything needed to put it right. The sooner the records are updated, the better.

In some cases, yes. We assess which route suits you better based on the state of the company.

At least six months by law, usually about a year in practice. Statutory time limits cannot be shortened; we will give you a more precise estimate after assessing the company.

No. A trade licence can be suspended, a company cannot. While an s. r. o. is registered, it keeps accounts, files tax returns and pays the minimum tax of €340 a year.

Not for the liquidation period. For a period before entering liquidation shorter than a year, a proportional part is due based on the number of months.

The deposit covers the liquidator’s fee and expenses. After removal, the notary releases it to the last registered liquidator; the law does not provide for returning it to the shareholders.

In that case the liquidator must file for bankruptcy. That is why we review the company before it enters liquidation.

Yes, a share transfer usually takes one to two weeks. However, the company does not cease to exist but continues with a new owner — and it is only suitable for a debt-free company.

Yes. You can set up a new company, be a managing director elsewhere or trade as a sole trader.

No. A trade licence can be suspended, a company cannot. As long as the s. r. o. is registered in the Commercial Register, it must meet its accounting, tax and other obligations even without any activity.

Transferring the ownership interest is usually much faster, typically a matter of weeks. Liquidation takes at least six months by law. A sale, however, only suits a company without debts.

No. The office of managing director does not end automatically with the transfer — you need to resign or be removed by the new shareholder, and the change must be registered in the Commercial Register.

Then liquidation is not the answer. If the company is insolvent, the managing director must file a bankruptcy petition within 30 days. We will assess the situation with you and help with the next steps.

There is no universally best jurisdiction. Our recommendation always depends on your business goals, markets and how much weight you place on credibility.

It depends on the country. Some jurisdictions allow remote incorporation, while others — such as the United Arab Emirates — require personal presence.

As agreed — electronically or in person. We set the method and dates at the start of our cooperation.

Yes. When taking over, we review the work done so far and continue from there.

As soon as possible after the due date. Over time, the risk that the debtor will be unable to pay increases, as does the risk of limitation.

We choose the solution based on your needs, team size and the tools you already use — not the other way round.

Yes. Even a small company benefits from having customers and deals in one place. We design the solution to match its size.

The main advantage is time. The company already exists, so after the transfer you can do business immediately without waiting for the whole formation process.

We offer companies that have not carried out any activity since formation and have no debts or liabilities. We provide all the necessary documents before the transfer.

For a start-up with no employees or valuable assets, usually not. It makes most sense with several companies, valuable assets, a planned sale or an investor coming in.

No. A holding lets you organise ownership lawfully and limit unnecessary disclosure, but the ultimate owner must always be known to banks, authorities and the relevant registers.

Most often by transferring the ownership interests to the parent company or contributing them in kind. It is the most technically demanding step, so we prepare it together with a tax adviser.
