    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. 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. 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. 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.

    4. 4

      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.

    Frequently asked questions

    What does the Slovakia business registry cover?

    RPO / Obchodný register records s.r.o. (Spoločnosť s ručením obmedzeným). Businesses that are not legally required to register — commonly small sole traders — may not appear.

    Can I search the Slovakia business registry by trading name?

    Some sources index trading names; others require the legal name or a separate business-name search. Ask for the contracting entity's legal name and identifier when the relationship is unclear.

    Is a business registry search free in Slovakia?

    What if a Slovakia business has no registry entry?

    It may not be required to register, or it may be trading under a different legal name. Ask for the registration number directly before assuming either.

    What is an s.r.o.?

    s.r.o. (Spoločnosť s ručením obmedzeným) is Slovakia's limited liability company, equivalent to a GmbH. Minimum share capital is €5,000. It's the most common business form in Slovakia.
