Slovenia is at the highest level of development among the Balkan countries economically. That is why foreign entrepreneurs want to live in this state and conduct business there. Legally, foreigners are practically unlimited in investments. A non-resident is allowed to own 100% of the organization’s property, however, only on the condition that it is related to the following areas: audit, publishing, television or radio, management of fund institutions, brokerage. Registration of a company in Slovenia opens up prospects for obtaining a residence permit.
Slovenia is not offshore, as its tax rates are 25% for profits and 15% for dividends. But, this is covered by the respectability of the jurisdiction itself, transparent conditions for business, support from the state apparatus and complete freedom in choosing the field of business activity
