Organizational statistics provides a review of the organizational structure of the Slovak economy.

The data source of organisational statistics is the Business Register administrated by the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic (SOSR) according to Act No 540/2001 on state statistics.

In the Business Register are registered legal persons and natural persons - entrepreneurs on the basis of data obtained by SOSR in compliance with the act on state statistics and other special acts. The Register is used for statistical purposes and the registered data have informative character.

The main principles of Business Register daily updates relate to compulsory business registration systems administrated by state institutions (ministries or other government bodies) which are responsible for the primary registration of legal persons and natural persons - entrepreneurs. These state institutions are obligated to provide the SO SR with basic information on these subjects. This is a legal obligation.

For entrepreneurs operating on the basis of an authorisation other than a trade licence, budgetary and contributory organisations, foundations, land associations and other special-purpose associations, political parties and movements, church organisations, religious societies and other legal entities that are not entered in the Commercial Register, the organisation identification number (IČO) is assigned by the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic.

In addition to identification data (IČO, business name, registered office or address of the place of business), classification data are also recorded in the Register of Organisations, such as the principal economic activity code (NACE Rev. 2.1), the national accounts subsector code (ESA 2010), legal form, size category, etc.
