Legal Q&A
Common questions from developers and construction companies
-
What is the minimum share capital for an s.r.o., and must I deposit it in a bank?
A Slovak s.r.o. must have at least €5,000 share capital, with each shareholder contributing at least €750. The money need not be placed in a separate bank account. Before incorporation, contributions are managed by a contribution administrator, usually one of the founders, whose written confirmation of payment accompanies the Commercial Register application.

Must an agreement be in writing to be valid?
Most agreements are valid orally: Slovak law generally allows freedom of form. However, writing may be required by law, for example for property transfers, or by the parties themselves. If the prescribed written form is missing, the agreement is invalid. Amendments require a distinction between civil and commercial law: in a commercial relationship, merely signing the agreement in writing does not mean that every amendment must also be in writing. In practice, writing is recommended even where the law does not require it, for evidence and certainty.

How do defect liability and warranties work under a construction contract?
A construction contract between businesses is governed by the Commercial Code. The contractor is liable for defects present at handover. The employer must notify defects without undue delay after discovering them or when they should have been discovered, and within five years of handover for buildings. If a quality warranty is agreed, the warranty period replaces this period. Late notification does not, however, automatically extinguish the rights: the court considers the contractor’s objection, and the Act provides an exception where the contractor knew the cause of the defect.

The construction site diary as evidence: missing entries are hard to prove years later
In a dispute over delay or defects, the site diary is often the only contemporaneous record. Construction Act No. 25/2025 Coll. specifies who keeps it and who may make entries; its evidential value depends on consistent records and the contract.
