Ljubljana, October 2025 – The Slovenian National Assembly has adopted a new law on the Business Register of Slovenia, introducing the first major legal, structural and technical overhaul of the system in two decades. The reform aims to simplify and speed up business registration procedures, while strengthening Slovenia’s digital business environment.
At SIBIZ Business Services Ltd., we particularly welcome this reform as it directly supports the activities of our in-house SPOT point, where we help clients register companies, manage business changes and ensure smooth digital interaction with Slovenian authorities. This modernization will make it even easier for entrepreneurs and investors to start and operate their businesses in Slovenia.
The new framework will be closely integrated with the digital platform SPOT (Slovenian Business Point), allowing entrepreneurs to register or change business entities more efficiently. This is another step towards a fully digital administration and supports the long-term goal of reducing the administrative burden for entrepreneurs and investors.
Streamlined procedures and one-stop filing
Under the new system, businesses will be able to submit a single digital application for multiple administrative purposes at the same time – a concept in line with the EU’s “once only” principle. Applications can be submitted through SPOT points, notaries, AJPES or directly online through the SPOT portal, depending on the type of procedure. After a two-year transition period, the digital filing option will become standard practice.
The law also introduces the concept of a digital corporate identity, which consolidates all key company data from the business register and AJPES annual reports into a single digital profile. This will increase transparency, support cross-border transactions and facilitate access to reliable company data within Slovenia and internationally.
Driving Slovenia’s digital economy
The reform is a cornerstone of Slovenia’s broader digital transformation strategy. By reducing administrative complexity and improving interoperability between government systems, the country is paving the way for more agile business operations and easier market entry for domestic and foreign investors alike.
However, the new law also poses challenges for maintaining SPOT locations in smaller communities, as the minimum number of annual procedures required to keep such locations active will increase from 20 to 160. This change could impact local accessibility, especially in rural areas.
Despite these operational concerns, the reform has been widely recognized as a forward-looking step toward a more transparent, efficient, and business-friendly regulatory environment.
