Obtain Special Permits and Licenses in Slovenia

Companies operating in Slovenia are required, under the applicable legislation, to obtain special permits and licenses for their commercial activities. At the same time, the business licenses are also issued for the location in which the company carries out a part or all its activities. The licenses will attest that the respective building or office meets the local standards for safety, hygiene and others. Our team of Slovenian lawyers can offer legal assistance for the issuance of special permits and licenses, depending on the characteristics of the company. 

 

 

 

Regardless of the business activity carried out by a company in Slovenia, the employers are obligated, under the regulations of the Health and Safety at Work Act, to provide a safe environment for the company’s employees.

The Act was completed under the requirements of the Council Directive 89/391/EEC and our team of attorneys in Slovenia can offer more details on this subject.
