The Competent Organisation

A newly established company is entered into the court register and tax register. The data are then automatically transferred also to business register and statistic office. Actually, in 2008 the court register has practically become a business register which is fully maintained by the agency called AJPES.

Company registration can be done most appropriately and completely at one of the notary offices. A simple, free of charge procedure is available even on the internet (in Slovene only) or at many "e-VEM" one-stop service centers but only when using a pre-print standardized Company Statute/Act form.
