SIRIUS TRADE s.r.o., Bratislava

There are increasingly more Slovak individuals and corporations, which are interested in doing business with foreign countries. Slovakia is a small country and opening up its market has significantly narrowed down the playing field for domestic entrepreneurs. A company wanting not merely to subsist but also prosper is forced to export its products. Very few Slovak companies have a positive experience of doing business with foreign partners. They have difficulty in making a deal as they lack a suitable command of the language spoken by a foreign partner. They are not familiar with methods of payment, the ways of doing business, do not know how to use the present loan and guarantee system of Slovak banks and financial groups, and are striking unfavourable deals. At the same time, there are increasingly more businesses coming to Slovakia, which are looking to invest there and in the states of the European Union. Slovakia has become the gateway to the European Union for non-member countries. The market in Slovakia is growing more than ever. Slovak enterprise is becoming interesting thanks to the country's favourable position its EU membership and the established tax systems. That gave rise to the idea form a centre designed to help out both Slovak and foreign companies. SIRIUS TRADE company has been founded in order to operate as a stepping stone to doing business between Slovak and foreign entrepreneurs.
