Country overview

About Slovakia

Slovakia is a landlocked republic in Central Europe. Bratislava is the capital and the largest city. About 5.4 million people live here. It borders Czechia, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary and Austria. Slovak is the official language. The euro is the currency.

Slovakia joined the European Union in 2004, the euro area in 2009, and is in Schengen. Bratislava sits on the Danube, a short distance from Vienna, which makes the country a practical operating base for Central Europe as well as a euro-area company in its own right. The economy is closely tied to automotive manufacturing and EU trade.

Brikseka forms Slovak companies. The usual vehicle is a spoločnosť s ručením obmedzeným (s.r.o.). A notary is typically involved. Company documents can often be prepared remotely; identification, banking, or immigration may still require travel. Local management rules should be confirmed before you appoint directors.

We then advise on a business bank account and payment gateways such as Stripe and PayPal. Approvals are decided by the providers. If your aim is to live in Slovakia, company formation is not a residence permit — that is a separate immigration file, which we also advise on.

  • Company formation

    We form an s.r.o. with Slovak counsel and a notary, then stay with the file through banking and payments.

  • European Union and euro

    EU member since 2004, euro area since 2009, and Schengen. A Slovak company sits inside the single market and invoices in euro.

  • Central Europe

    Bratislava is close to Vienna, with neighbours in Czechia, Poland, Hungary and Austria.

  • Tax setting

    Corporate income tax rates are published by the Slovak tax authority and depend on company size. We confirm the live position before you proceed.

How we work

From briefing to a registered company

  1. Briefing

    We review your business, the right entity for this country, costs, and whether a visit is likely.

  2. Company formation

    Local counsel, notary where required, and the commercial register. We coordinate the documents through to a registered company.

  3. Banking and payments

    After the company exists, we prepare applications for a business account and payment gateways.

  4. After incorporation

    Statutory records, a named contact, and introductions to accounting so the company can operate.

After the company exists

  • Stripe, subject to Stripe’s approval
  • PayPal Business, subject to PayPal’s approval
