The EU is an intergovernmental economic union that aims to promote free trade and achieve economic stability, as well as a common European internal market stretching across the territory of the 28 EU member states. Setting up a company within the EU can therefore be a great opportunity for your business, not only in terms of access to this single market, but also as a means of minimizing taxes and other financial risks.

Understand EU companies
In terms of incorporation, each country in the EU has certain specific advantages, not to mention peculiarities in the legal procedures for incorporation, which may differ between jurisdictions. Some jurisdictions offer relatively quick and accessible remote company formation and maintenance, while others do not have blacklisted offshore jurisdictions or offer a great opportunity to minimize taxation (sometimes even to 0%).

Benefits of establishing an EU company
The EU is currently one of the most significant and reputable trading unions on the planet. Because of common European trade standards and legislation relating to finance and commerce, EU companies have a lot to offer in terms of accessability to the western market.
