Slovenian Companies Act
The Slovenian Companies Act was recently updated, and the latest modifications became applicable starting with August 8, 2015. The updates were introduced to respond to the current needs of the business environment, as well as to improve the quality of the Slovenian corporate matters.
The Act is applicable to a wide category of legal entities, as prescribed by the Article 1 of the regulation:
• companies registered in Slovenia for commercial purposes;
• sole proprietorship;
The new act also aligns with the regulations applicable at the level of the European Union (EU), as the country is a member state of the Community.
According to the Article 3 of the Act, companies which fall under its regulations are the following:
• personal companies: unlimited company, limited partnership, dormant partnership;
• companies with share capital: limited liability company, public limited company, limited partnership with share capital, European public limited company.
