How do I search the business registry in Slovakia?
Use RPO / Obchodný register as a starting source for Slovakia, then check its scope for the business form you need. Types can include s.r.o. (Spoločnosť s ručením obmedzeným). A trading name may need a separate source or document; it does not automatically identify a legal entity. Official access requirements vary.
Step-by-step
- 1
Search the trading name you were given
Start with the name on the invoice, website or contract. It is often a trading name rather than the registered legal name.
- 2
Identify the legal entity behind it
RPO / Obchodný register records the legal entity. Matching a trading name to its registered entity is the whole point of a registry search — the two are frequently different.
- 3
Check the entity type
Slovakia recognises s.r.o. (Spoločnosť s ručením obmedzeným). Entity type determines liability and who is legally responsible, so it matters before you contract.

Note what the registry does not cover
Sole traders and unregistered activity may not appear at all. An absent record is not automatically proof of fraud — it can simply mean the business is not required to register.
