Incorporation of Ltd.

A limited liability company (Ltd) is one of the most popular forms of business,
not only in Slovakia. This type of company has an ownership structure where the liability
for debts is limited to the amount contributed by its partners (owners). This means,
the personal assets of the shareholders are not at risk if the company fails to pay its
liabilities.
An LLC is often considered an ideal form of business for small and medium-sized companies because
it offers sufficient flexibility and legal protection for entrepreneurs, while not requiring such
level of liability as, for example, a public limited company.

There are a number of reasons to set up an LLC through a solicitor:

Knowledge of the law: a solicitor has a detailed understanding of the law and
of the regulations involved in setting up an LLC and can therefore advise you on how to avoid
legal obstacles and illegalities.
Saving time and effort: Incorporating an LLC can be complicated and time-consuming.
An attorney can simplify the entire process and reduce the time you would have to invest.
Ensuring the validity of the documents.
documents are correctly filled out and in compliance with the law.
Resolving legal issues: various legal issues may arise during the course of the company’s operation.
issues such as contractual matters, business transactions and dispute resolution. Your lawyer will
can be a valuable partner in resolving these issues.
Protecting property rights: An attorney will ensure that all necessary steps are taken to protect
the property rights of the company and its shareholders are carried out.
It is important to choose a trusted and experienced attorney who will provide you with quality
legal care and assistance in setting up an LLC.

Establishing an organizational unit of a foreign person

The organizational unit as a form of business is ideal for foreign companies that plan to
to enter the Slovak market. Unlike “s.r.o.”, an organizational unit is not a separate
legal entity. It is financially and accountingly connected to the parent company, which
means that it operates as its “branch” or “extended arm”.
Why choose a branch when entering the Slovak market?
One of the main reasons is easier dissolution compared to “s.r.o.”. End
business of an organisational unit is much less complicated than the termination of a business
of a limited liability company.
