Usual forms are a sole trader (samostojni podjetnik, s.p.; no start-up capital, unlimited personal liability) or a limited company (d.o.o.; minimum share capital EUR 7,500). An s.p. is registered in the Slovenian Business Register (PRS), run by AJPES, and can be opened through the SPOT portal or a SPOT point (spot.gov.si). After registering you also register with FURS (tax) and for compulsory social insurance.

VAT: registration is compulsory once taxable turnover in Slovenia goes over EUR 60,000 a year (file form DDV-P2 via eDavki/SPOT). You can register voluntarily below that, but then you must stay registered for at least the current and the following calendar year.

Daily rental of jet skis, boats and floating devices for sport and recreation needs a permit from the Slovenian Maritime Administration (URSP; at sea) or the local administrative unit (upravna enota; inland waters). The permit covers the proposed location and is issued for one year, once the authority is satisfied that navigation safety, life-saving and environmental protection are ensured. It sets the technical and operating conditions (Pravilnik o čolnih in plavajočih napravah, Art. 57).
Oorspronkelijke tekst
“Dejavnost dnevnega izposojanja vodnih skuterjev in drugih vrst čolnov ter plavajočih naprav, namenjenih za šport in razvedrilo, se lahko opravlja le z dovoljenjem uprave oziroma upravne enote.”
-
The Drowning Protection Act (ZVU, Art. 10(3)) also says that daily rental of craft at sea is allowed only with a URSP permit that sets the rental conditions. URSP revokes the permit if those conditions are broken and safety is put at risk. Breaching Art. 10 or the permit conditions is an offence: EUR 1,200–4,000 for the business (Art. 36).

-
Staff qualification: anyone who rents out craft must hold a water-rescue qualification under 'Program D' (training by authorised providers, exam by the Administration for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief, URSZR). Candidates must be 18+, pass a medical, a swimming test and a first-aid test. Program D covers rentals on calm water only. Commercial activities on white water need a Program C rescuer.

Program D lets the holder run rentals on calm water and on water without white-water features (rapids, waterfalls). Rescuer duties at for-profit activities on white water need a Program C rescuer (Pravilnik o reševalcih iz vode, Art. 3(7)-(8)).

Inland waters (lakes, rivers): the municipality sets the navigation regime for each water body by ordinance (odlok o plovbnem režimu). It covers the permitted navigation area, craft types and propulsion, launch/landing points, times and bans. Motorised craft are generally banned on inland waters unless the Government has allowed them on a specific water (e.g. Drava, Ptuj, Ljubljanica). Check the local ordinance before operating, e.g. Bled, Bohinj or the Soča.
