How to set up and run an EU Inc
The practical money pages: how to register an EU Inc, what it costs, how it is taxed, and how to wind it down.
The practical, transactional guides — to be fully armed as adoption approaches and registrations open (~2027). These are the pages that convert.
- Convert to EU Inc How existing companies (SAS, GmbH, BV…) could convert into an EU Inc: routes, the role of national law, the two-year condition, and what is still unknown.
- Non-EU founders Can a US, UK or Indian founder register an EU Inc? Yes under the proposal — no nationality test, but at least one director must be EU-resident.
- Prepare for EU Inc EU Inc registration is not open yet — likely 2028. A concrete founder checklist: what to prepare now, what to watch, and what not to bet on.
- Closing down What the EU Inc proposal provides for winding up: a digital liquidation track for insolvent innovative startups, and what still runs through national insolvency law.
- Taxes What the EU Inc proposal does and does not harmonise on tax: national corporate tax by registered office, once-only tax and VAT registration, and EU-ESO timing.
- Cost What an EU Inc is proposed to cost: a €100 registration cap, no minimum share capital, and the ongoing costs not yet specified — versus national forms and Delaware.
- Eligibility Who can register an EU Inc: all company sizes with an SME/startup focus, the EU-resident director rule, and why it is not a tax-residence tool.
- How to register The proposed step-by-step for registering an EU Inc: template articles, an EU-resident director, digital ID, the BRIS single window, 48h, €100, no minimum capital.
