This article will address considerations in overseas investment, company registration, and cost control, providing relevant websites for reference to help Chinese-funded enterprises better understand and manage investment risks. As a professional Slovenian immigration consulting company, we are well aware of the challenges and risks that Chinese-funded enterprises face when conducting investment cooperation in Slovenia. We are committed to providing comprehensive immigration consulting services to assist you in achieving smooth investment immigration and establishing good relationships. In this article, we will discuss the issues to be aware of when engaging in investment cooperation in Slovenia and provide suggestions and resources to help you better address challenges and achieve success.

1. Overseas Investment: When investing in Slovenia, Chinese-funded enterprises need to objectively evaluate the investment environment. It is important to analyze investment types and sectors carefully and prioritize investment projects that are planned and encouraged by the local government to obtain a better investment environment and benefit from supportive policies.

2. Company Registration Preparation: When registering a company in Slovenia, Chinese-funded enterprises should be aware of the current simplified procedures and changes related to company registration to avoid unnecessary expenses.

3. Controlling Wage Costs: Slovenian employee wages include a higher proportion of social security funds, which need to be paid regularly. Additionally, wages for technical labor are relatively high in the local market. Chinese-funded enterprises should effectively account for wage costs to control expenses.

Chinese-funded enterprises can refer to the following institution websites for information:

• SPIRIT Slovenia (Agency for Entrepreneurship, Internationalization, Foreign Investments, and Technology): www.spiritslovenia.si

• Ljubljana Stock Exchange: www.ljse.si

• Slovenian Sovereign Holding (SDH): www.sdh.si/en-gb/

• Slovenian Bank Asset Management Company (Bad Bank): www.dutb.eu/en

Furthermore, Chinese-funded enterprises can access the "Go Abroad" public service platform on the website of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China to inquire about relevant information in the investment field: fec.mofcom.gov.cn/index.shtml Preventing Investment Cooperation Risks: When engaging in investment, trade, construction projects, and labor cooperation in Slovenia, Chinese-funded enterprises should pay special attention to conducting pre-investigation, analysis, and evaluation of relevant risks. Risk avoidance and management should be implemented throughout the process to safeguard their own interests. This includes conducting credit investigations and evaluations of projects, clients, and related parties, analyzing and mitigating political and business risks, as well as conducting feasibility analyses of the projects themselves.

Chinese-funded enterprises can actively utilize insurance, guarantees, banking, and other financial institutions and professional risk management organizations to protect their interests. Examples include trade, investment, construction project, and labor-related credit insurance, property insurance, personal safety insurance, factoring and forfaiting services provided by banks, as well as various guarantee services (government guarantees, commercial guarantees, letters of guarantee), among others.

It is recommended that Chinese-funded enterprises use Chinese policy-oriented insurance institutions, such as credit risk protection products provided by the China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (Sinosure), which includes coverage for political and business risks. Additionally, commercial guarantee services provided by policy banks such as the China Export-Import Bank can be utilized.

Sinosure is a state-owned policy-oriented insurance corporation established with state capital to support China's foreign economic trade development and cooperation. The insurance products it provides include short-term and medium-to-long-term export credit insurance, overseas investment insurance, and financing guarantees, which can provide protection against economic losses caused by political risks occurring in the investment host country or region. For more information on relevant services, please visit the company's website at www.sinosure.com.cn.

If losses occur without effective risk mitigation measures in place, Chinese-funded enterprises should promptly seek compensation through their own means or relevant channels, depending on the extent of the losses. For business covered by credit insurance institutions, these institutions will conduct loss adjustment and compensate for the risk losses. Relevant organizations will also assist credit insurance institutions in the process of recovery.

In addition, we emphasize the importance of preventing investment cooperation risks, including conducting pre-investigation, risk assessment, and mitigation, as well as utilizing the services of insurance, guarantees, and banking institutions to safeguard your interests.
