Unraveling the Profile of Posting CompaniesDe Wispelaere, Frederic (Avtor) De Smedt, Lynn (Avtor) Sloveniafreedom to provide servicesposting companiescharacteristicsbusiness modelDespite being central to intra-EU posting, the service provider (“the posting company”) remains understudied by scholars. Aiming to close this gap, this study examines posting companies (incl. the self-employed) in Slovenia. By linking them to the Orbis database, an analysis of Slovenian companies that received one or more Portable Documents A1 in 2022 shows that 8% of construction and 4% of manufacturing companies provided services abroad, compared to less than 2% of all Slovenian companies. For these companies, posting employees abroad has become a “business model”, with an average of 61% of employees posted abroad and 93.5% of turnover earned from exporting goods or providing services abroad.20252026-01-12 18:42:51Članek v reviji25155UDK: 314.151.3(497.4):331.5, 331.556.4(497.4):005.511ISSN pri članku: 0353-6777DOI: 10.3986/2025.1.2COBISS_ID: 229133059slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji
