How do I search the business registry in Slovakia?

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.
