Company and shareholders
Company operations — share transfers, shareholder agreements, corporate bodies, register changes and closure.
A company most often needs a lawyer when something changes: a shareholder joins, a director leaves, the registered capital increases or the articles of association change.
We handle corporate matters throughout a company’s life, from transfers of ownership interests and general meetings to commercial register filings and liquidation. We prepare shareholder agreements to address entry, exit and deadlock before they occur.

The most common questions in this area
-
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.

Can I form an s.r.o. on my own, without other shareholders?
Yes. One person can form a single-member s.r.o., using a deed of foundation instead of a memorandum of association. The former restrictions limiting an individual to three single-member s.r.o. companies and preventing a single-member s.r.o. from founding another ceased to apply on 17 August 2026 under Act No. 29/2026 Coll. Recorded tax debts, social insurance arrears or enforcement can still prevent formation.

When can an s.r.o. distribute profits to its shareholders?
The general meeting decides on distribution, and shareholders are entitled in proportion to their paid contributions unless the memorandum provides otherwise. Profits may be paid only when statutory conditions are met and never if payment would cause insolvency. Interest on contributions and advances on profit distributions are prohibited. Shareholders must return unlawful distributions, and directors who approved them guarantee repayment.
