M&A advisory services in Slovakia

Slovakia has produced a track record of cross-border technology exits, with strategic and PE acquirers from the US and Western Europe paying close attention to the country's cybersecurity and software output.

Slido's acquisition by Cisco and the continued international expansion of companies including ESET and Pixel Federation have raised the profile of Slovak tech M&A among international corporate development teams.

Flow advises bootstrapped and venture-backed Slovak founders alike through their exit - bringing a strong PE and strategic acquirer network, a lean end-to-end process and KPI-driven preparation that surfaces the right buyers and maximises competitive tension.

Selling your tech company in Slovakia

Slovak M&A follows European mid-market conventions with country-specific overlays around notarised closings, the FDI screening regime and the corporate participation exemption.

Completion accounts and locked-box

Slovak private M&A uses both locked-box and completion accounts. Locked-box is growing in PE-led and tech deals; completion accounts remain frequent in traditional sectors.

W&I insurance is growing

Warranty & indemnity insurance is becoming more common in Slovak deals above roughly €15M. Premiums (around 1-1.5% of cover) typically split between buyer and seller, replacing traditional escrow.

FDI screening

Slovak FDI screening requires notification of acquisitions by non-EU investors of Slovak companies in sensitive sectors - defence, dual-use, AI, critical infrastructure. Adds notification time and conditions to scoped transactions.

Capital gains for founders

Slovak individuals are taxed on share disposal gains as part of personal income, with specific exemptions for one-year-held shares in certain circumstances. Holding-company structures used to defer or reshape the tax bill - worth planning ahead of a sale.

Corporate participation exemption

Sales of subsidiary shares by a Slovak corporate seller can benefit from the participation exemption - typically requires substantial holding and the subsidiary being a qualifying entity. Often drives whether a transaction is share or asset-structured.

Merger control

Antimonopoly Office of the Slovak Republic reviews transactions where parties' combined Slovak turnover exceeds €46M and at least two parties each have €14M+ Slovak turnover. Most tech deals don't trigger.
