Basic conditions of company formation in Slovakia

A limited liability company is an artificial legal entity. The very existence of the company is preceded by two phases, the phase of the formation of the company and the formation of the company. In order for a company to become a subject of law and thus acquire rights and obligations, the law lays down minimum requirements that every newly incorporated limited liability company must meet.

The character of the company is given at the very founding of the new company. The company is founded by writing a founding document, memorandum of association. The Act defines the essentials of this document, and any missing information means a refusal to register the company in the Commercial Register by the Registration Court. Already in the first phase of establishing a Limited Liability Company it is necessary to know the conditions under which LLC.
