Since 17 August 2026, the new Act No. 29/2026 Coll. on the Commercial Register has been in force. Simplified formation of an s.r.o. remains available and needs no notary. Most guides on the internet do not tell you that. What changed

Simplified s.r.o. formation

Form your s.r.o. for the court fee. You pay us 0 €.

We show you how to form your company through the state's electronic form, with no notary and no lawyer. If you want, we go through it with you.

Non-binding enquiry

Fill in the non-binding form. We will get back to you and send the guide by e-mail.

s. r. o.

Optional.

Company name check

s. r. o.

We look in the public register to see whether someone already has this name.

Optional. With a number we usually sort it out in one phone call.

What are you interested in?
Are the signing certificates on your ID card activated?

“I do not know” is the most common answer and it is perfectly fine. That is exactly what we help with most.

The guide arrives by e-mail and you pay nothing. By sending you agree that we send you further messages about the formation. You can unsubscribe in any of them.

What it costs

Forming an s.r.o. in 2026, two routes side by side

Since 17 August 2026, classic formation has required a notarial deed or authorisation by a lawyer. Simplified formation does not. That is the whole difference in price.

Firmáreň prices are taken from its public price list at firmaren.sk/zalozenie-firmy as of 15 September 2026 and may change. They are shown including tax. Our figures apply without a time limit. Assistance is paid after the introductory call, before we file together.

Who it is for

Simplified formation has conditions

It is for a company with up to five shareholders, unregulated trades and cash contributions. The managing director acts as deposit administrator and the company has no supervisory board. That covers most new s.r.o. companies.

If you need a craft or regulated trade, a non-cash contribution or more shareholders, this route is not available. Write to us anyway and we will tell you what to do instead.

How it works

On your own with the guide or together with us

The steps are the same. The difference is whether we sit next to you while you take them. At every step we know where you are.

  1. You send a non-binding enquiry

    A short form and the guide arrives by e-mail. It contains the step-by-step procedure, a checklist and the places where people most often get stuck.

  2. You activate your certificates

    If your ID card does not have them yet, start there. How to check and where they are activated is further down this page and in the guide.

  3. together with assistance

    You fill in the electronic form

    Name, registered office, business activities, shareholders and managing director. On your own with the guide. With assistance we go through it on a call and check the form before filing.

  4. together with assistance

    You sign and file

    Signing and filing go from your own electronic mailbox with your own signature, as the law requires. With assistance we do it together on screen in one session.

  5. You pay the court fee

    You pay 220 € to the state when filing. Nothing to us. The registration time depends on the registry court and we cannot influence it.

  6. First steps after incorporation

    Tax office, bank account, bookkeeping. The guide ends with what needs to be done in the first month. If you want, we take over the bookkeeping.

The most common place to get stuck

Certificates on your ID card

To sign the documents and send the filing, you need a Slovak ID card with a chip, a card reader and activated signing certificates on the card. The chip alone is not enough, the certificates are activated separately.

Many people do not have them activated even though they have had a chip card for years. That is why it is the first thing we sort out with you, not the last.

The form asks whether you have them. Feel free to answer that you do not know. It is the most common answer and it is perfectly fine.

You can find out in a minute

  1. Install the state's signing applicationIt is free and you will find it on the state portal.
  2. Insert your ID card into the readerYou received the reader with your card or you can buy one.
  3. See what the application offersIf it offers only login and not signing, your certificates are not activated.

Don't have them? No problem. They are activated at a police document office, with some cards also from home. You need the personal security code you received when you collected your card. If you have forgotten it, it can be set again. We go through it with you.

Legal framework

Why you file it yourself and why it is cheaper

Simplified formation needs no notary and no lawyer. It needs your signature and your electronic mailbox.

Since 17 August 2026, the new Act No. 29/2026 Coll. on the Commercial Register has been in force. In classic formation, the memorandum of association must since then take the form of a notarial deed or be authorised by a lawyer. Most articles on the internet are older than that date.

Simplified formation under Section 110a of Act No. 513/1991 Coll., the Commercial Code is the exception: the memorandum of association is created through an electronic form and requires neither a notarial deed nor authorisation. It is signed with a qualified electronic signature and the application is sent from your electronic mailbox. Under Section 47(1) of Act No. 29/2026 Coll., in force since 17 August 2026, we are not allowed to file it on your behalf.

That is why it is cheaper: you pay no notary, no lawyer and no representative's fee. It does not mean we leave you to it. It means you do it and we navigate. We sell a guide and guidance, not representation.

Questions

What people ask most often

Do I really pay you nothing?
Nothing for the guide. You pay the court fee for the entry directly to the state when filing, it is 220 €. If you want us to go through it with you, assistance costs 149 € and is paid only after the introductory call, before we file together.
Why do you do it for free?
We are accountants. We do not make money on formation. We want you to have your company and to come back to us one day when you need bookkeeping. You do not have to, the guide and the assistance stand on their own.
Do I need a notary or a lawyer?
Not for simplified formation. The memorandum of association is created through the state's electronic form and the law requires neither a notarial deed nor authorisation by a lawyer for it. Classic formation has required one of the two since 17 August 2026, which is why it costs more.
Who cannot use simplified formation?
A company with more than five shareholders, with a craft or regulated trade, with a non-cash contribution or with a supervisory board. Write to us anyway and we will tell you what to do instead.
Do I need 5 000 € in the bank?
No. The registered capital of an s.r.o. is 5 000 €, but you do not have to actually deposit it in a bank account. A written declaration by the deposit administrator is enough, and in simplified formation that is the managing director.
Do I need an ID card with a chip?
Yes. Simplified formation relies on electronic signing. Without a Slovak ID card with a chip, a card reader and activated certificates it cannot be done. If you do not have them, the guide starts right there.
How long does it take?
The registration time depends on the registry court and we cannot influence it. That is why we put no number here: promising a deadline we do not control would be dishonest. Whether the company name is confusingly similar to another one is decided by the registry court at registration.
What is included in the assistance for 149 €?
An introductory call, a check of the completed form before filing, signing and filing online together in one session and monitoring of the registration. If your company is not registered with our assistance, we refund 149 €. We cannot refund the court fee, that goes to the state.
