  • A ready-made company has never conducted economic or business activities.

We will discuss each of the listed advantages of a ready-made s.r.o. in more detail below.

 

What is a ready-made s.r.o. in Slovakia? 

 

Ready-made s.r.o. is a limited liability company that was founded by a firm specializing in the sale of ready-made companies. Such a limited liability company has never conducted business and is intended solely for quick sale to a client, who is interested in starting a business. A ready-made limited liability company has its share capital fully paid up, at least €5,000, has an assigned company ID (IČO) and an issued trade license, is registered with the tax office, and has an assigned VAT ID (DIČ) number. Some ready-made limited liability companies are also registered for VAT, so-called ready-made limited liability companies that are VAT payers.

The name "ready-made limited liability company" is derived from the word "ready-made," which means pre-prepared. The essence of such a ready-made limited liability company is that it is already complete and prepared for sale to expedite the start of business for the buyer.

 

You can start doing business immediately. How is this possible? 

 

Perhaps the most important advantage of a ready-made limited liability company is that it allows you to start doing business almost immediately. A quick start to business with such a limited liability company is possible because, upon purchasing a ready-made limited liability company, the entrepreneur is appointed as the executive director of the existing limited liability company at the moment of its purchase, or upon signing the transfer documentation for the company's purchase. This means that from the day of appointment as executive director, they also acquire the right to act on behalf of the ready-made company.

The purchase of a ready-made company is a legally complex process involving these key actions. We won't burden you with legal details and will only mention the most important points.

  • the general meeting or the sole shareholder of the ready-made company decides that the client can purchase a 100% business share in the ready-made company. It also decides on other changes requested by the client, such as: a change of trade name, a change of the company's registered office according to the client's wishes, and finally, a change of executive directors, as the client is appointed to the position of executive director. Based on this, the client can begin to act on behalf of the company.
  • the purchase of a ready-made limited liability company is merely a colloquial term for acquiring a business share in a limited liability company, because by purchasing a 100% business share in the limited liability company, the client becomes a partner of the limited liability company, or in other words, its owner. Therefore, it is necessary for the client to purchase the business share based on a contract for the transfer of a business share, which is concluded between the seller of the ready-made limited liability company and the client.

 

A Slovak ready-made Ltd. is already registered in the Commercial Register

 

Another advantage of a ready-made Ltd. is that it is already properly registered in the Commercial Register. This means that the client does not have to wait for a new Ltd. to be established, which can take up to 30 days. The registration of a ready-made Ltd. in the Commercial Register itself has practical significance , namely that the Ltd. has legal personality. To put it in layman's terms, the company has reached its majority and therefore has the ability to acquire rights and obligations. In other words, it is capable of doing business and performing the activities for which it was established.

 

It has an assigned Company ID (IČO), Tax ID (DIČ), and potentially a VAT ID (IČ DPH).

 

A ready-made Ltd. company already has all the necessary basic registrations that an Ltd. needs for its operations. The Company ID (IČO) - the organization's identification number is assigned during the process of issuing a business license by the relevant trade licensing office.

Another registration that such an Ltd. has is the registration at the relevant tax office for corporate income tax. In this process, a ready-made s.r.o. is assigned a TIN - Tax Identification Number. The TIN is used for communication with the tax administrator and its issuance takes approximately 15 days. This time is saved when purchasing a ready-made s.r.o..

Some ready-made s.r.o. companies are also registered as VAT payers and have a VAT ID number assigned. If a ready-made company is VAT registered, its price is higher than that of a standard s.r.o. This is because obtaining VAT payer registration requires more effort, actions, and involves a more complex registration process at the tax office. If the s.r.o. has VAT registration, the buyer of a ready-made VAT-registered s.r.o. saves another 30 days and avoids the tedious VAT registration process.

 

A Slovak ready-made s.r.o. has the most commonly used business activities registered

 

A good ready-made s.r.o. will have the most frequently used business activities registered. Companies specializing in selling businesses know from experience and statistical data which trades are used most often. Therefore, it is an advantage if the company you are buying also has your business activity registered, which speeds up the time to start doing business.

Even if your business activity is not among the frequently used ones, it is still possible and relatively easy to expand the scope of business activities during the purchase of a ready-made Ltd.

May already have an open bank account

 

Some ready-made Ltd. companies are sold with an open bank account. Most often, these are ready-made VAT-registered Ltd. companies that are sold with an open bank account. This means that the advantage of such a ready-made Ltd. is that you can immediately start receiving payments into the account and you don't have to wait for the bank to open the account for you. After the ready-made Ltd. is transferred to the client, the new executive director must visit the bank and change the signatory rights to the account. In other words, to take over this account. 

 

 

 

and therefore, has never conducted business. That's why ready-made companies are sometimes also called shelf companies, which translates to: "empty shells" . This fact is an undeniable advantage compared to buying a dubious company with a history that has previously conducted business activities. Purchasing such an unverified company with a history can be a significant risk, as the buyer might take over the company along with existing debts and contractual obligations from the past. 

 

 

 

Thus, you do not need to have €5,000 to purchase a ready-made Ltd. to pay up the registered capital.
