A ready-made company that
lets you start today

Yes. Every company is vetted by a certified tax advisor before it enters our range, and being debt-free is covered in the transfer contract. We give you access to the full accounting and tax history.

Yes, buying a ready-made company is entirely legal. Slovak law does not define the term “ready-made company” as a separate category, but it is not a special or prohibited legal form — it is an ordinary company (most often an s.r.o., a limited liability company) that was incorporated with the intention of later transferring it to a new owner. After the transfer it operates under exactly the same rules as any other company of the same type.

About 99 % of the companies we offer are clean ready-made companies that have never carried out any real business or trading activity. Before the sale, only technical or administrative steps needed to prepare the company for transfer may have been taken — for example opening a bank account or registering for VAT. These steps are not business activity, only preparation of the company. We can document the history of a specific company before you buy it.

Yes. Every ready-made s.r.o. we offer has registered capital of EUR 5,000, fully paid up. How this amount is settled on transfer can vary depending on the transaction: funds of EUR 5,000 can be handed over to you in cash against a handover protocol; the EUR 5,000 can remain in the company’s bank account and you pay it together with the purchase price; or, if the parties have mutual monetary claims of EUR 5,000, these can be set off without any cash changing hands. The company’s registered capital does not cease to exist and is not reduced — this is simply how the EUR 5,000 is settled between seller and buyer.

Some of the companies we offer already have a bank account. If a particular company does not have one yet, we can arrange, for an additional fee, a service and assistance with opening it. The final decision on opening an account always rests with the bank — we cannot guarantee it ourselves, but we will guide you through the whole process.

On the signing day the company can already receive payments into its existing account. However, you usually cannot yet send payments or fully operate the account — first the changes concerning the company must be entered in the Commercial Register, and then the bank must change the persons authorised to operate the account and set up the new signing rights. You gain full access to the account only once the bank has processed these changes. The exact process and timing depend on the particular bank, so we cannot guarantee them.

We can prepare the documents within 24 hours. Signature and payment follow immediately, then we file the change in the Commercial Register. You can do business and invoice practically right after the transfer.

The price is final and includes tax assessment, document preparation (our documents are prepared by lawyers), transfer and advice. No hidden fees. Additional services (office, accounting, bank account) are always agreed in advance.

No. You can sign anywhere in Slovakia — at our office, at your home or company, or at a notary in your town. If needed, we come to you.

No, a virtual registered office is not automatically included in the price of a ready-made company. We do, however, provide it as a separate service and can arrange it for you based on the current offer. See our virtual office →

Yes. We help with the first tax duties, changes in the Commercial Register, the office, accounting and opening a bank account. We also communicate in English and Polish.

Yes. The reservation, setting the company parameters, document preparation and payment are all done online. The only step you must do in person is having your signature on the share transfer agreement officially certified — and that can be arranged in your own country.

You have three options: certify your signature at a Slovak embassy or consulate; or before a local notary, followed by an apostille (or superlegalisation) and a sworn translation into Slovak; or sign in person in Slovakia. For some transfers we can also arrange to travel to you.

Anyone can be a shareholder (owner), regardless of nationality or residence. An EU or OECD national can become the director directly; a third-country national only after obtaining Slovak residence — until then they can act as a shareholder or appoint a local director.

An ID or passport of the future shareholders and directors, an address, the intended company name and business activities. For the director, also a criminal record extract (with apostille and sworn translation if issued abroad). If the buyer is a company, an apostilled extract from its register with a translation.

Some of our companies are already VAT payers, so you can invoice with VAT immediately. Applying for VAT on a new company takes weeks and is not guaranteed — which is why VAT-registered companies cost more.

You can act on behalf of the company as its director practically right after signing. The change of shareholder and director in the Commercial Register takes about 10 business days and is only of informative nature.

Many of our companies already have an account (usually ČSOB or VÚB). Approval of an account is always up to the bank, and it may also reject you as a client. For foreign persons the process usually requires two visits to the bank and takes 1 to 14 days; after the transfer the bank changes the authorised persons and sets up your access rights.

Every company is automatically assigned a mandatory electronic mailbox through which authorities and courts communicate with it. A foreign director needs a Slovak eID with a chip to access it, or appoints a local representative. A missed official message can lead to fines — we can take this over for you.

Every s.r.o. files annual accounts and a tax return even with no activity; VAT payers also submit regular VAT returns. Add bookkeeping and maintaining the registered office. We will walk you through the expected costs and deadlines in advance so you avoid penalties.

Yes. Every s.r.o. must have a registered office entered in the Commercial Register — it is a legal requirement and the address where official mail is delivered. We can provide a registered (virtual) office, including the property owner’s officially certified consent, which has been mandatory since 1 October 2020.
