There are numerous types of business activities that are related to the
fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. Investors who want to
open a company in Slovenia in this industry may enter
distribution activities, which can be limited only to the
Slovenian territory, or they may
import/export various goods to
retail chains.
At the same time, foreign investors may
start a business in this country which
directly handles the sale of FMCG products to
end users, represented by
Slovenian citizens, or they may enter
business-to-business relations with other
partners in the FMCG industry. As there are multiple ways to
start a business in this sector,
our team of consultants in company formation in Slovenia can provide advice on the most suitable way to
open a business here, depending on the investors’ business plans and budget.
What are the main FMCG activities developed in Slovenia?
The
FMCG sector is comprised of numerous types of products, from
electronics to goods that have short shelf-life (
fruits, vegetables, food products). Most of the
FMCG businesses operate as
supermarkets that provide all the types of products included in the
FMCG sector or they are
specialized in providing only foodstuffs or
products commonly used in a household.
In
Slovenia, the
most developed sub-sectors are represented by
fashion and clothing, food, consumer electronics, gardening, decorations and personal care products. In order to
open a Slovenian company in the
FMCG sector it will be necessary to
obtain special permits, but they can vary depending on the specific types of goods delivered to the local market.
Our team of specialists in company registration in Slovenia can advise on this matter.
Regulations for the safety of food products in Slovenia
A
company that
sells food products (which is the case of most the
FMCG businesses) has certain responsibilities related to the
safety of such goods. They have to be
stored in specific conditions and the
company can be held responsible if
safety standards are not met, as mentioned below:
-
• a company can’t distribute and sell food products that are not safe for consumption;
-
• a business is fully responsible for the manufacturing, transportation, storage of food products, if these activities fall under its obligations;
-
• it is necessary for a FMCG company to easily trace each supplier of food products;
-
• if any suspicion arises, the company has to notify the competent authority.
Businessmen are invited to
contact our team of agents in company formation in Slovenia for more details concerning the
registration of a FMCG business in this country.
Our representatives can assist with further advice on the
taxation requirements imposed to such businesses and can provide advice on the
employment regulations applicable to
FMCG employees.
