Termination of Business Activity in Slovakia

Company liquidation as a legally correct way to close a business

Not every business lasts forever — sometimes owners decide to terminate the company’s activity. Regardless of the reasons (change of direction, completion of a project, personal circumstances), the most important step is to close the company correctly in accordance with Slovak legislation.

One of the most common methods is company liquidation (s.r.o.) — complete termination of a legal entity.

What company liquidation means

Liquidation is the official procedure of removing a company from the Slovak Commercial Register. It includes ceasing all activities, settling liabilities, closing accounts, and distributing assets. The process is strictly regulated and requires communication with tax offices, social funds, creditors, and state institutions.

Stages of company liquidation in Slovakia

• Decision to liquidate — formal decision of the company’s partners.
• Appointment of a liquidator — the person representing the company.
• Publication in Obchodný vestník — notification for creditors.
• Settlement of liabilities — with creditors, state funds, and employees.
• Preparation of a liquidation balance sheet and tax reports.
• Submission of an application for removal from the Commercial Register.
• Receipt of official confirmation of termination.

The process may take from 6 to 12 months depending on the company’s situation.
