Commission proposal · Not law yet

EU Inc.
One company,
27 markets.

A single company form for all 27 EU markets, proposed by the Commission in March 2026 (COM/2026/321). We track every move through Brussels and email only when something real changes.

What is EU Inc.?

A proposed pan-European company form. Optional. Digital-first. Valid in every EU member state once adopted. It does not replace national company forms. You opt in alongside them.

One entity

Recognised in all 27 EU markets.

One legal form, one set of share classes, one EU-ESO scheme. No more cross-border patchwork at the next round.

Under 48 hours to register.

Digital end-to-end. The same registration target the regulation sets for itself.

Under €100 in fees.

Zero minimum share capital. No notary fee, no chamber fee, no opening deposit.

Optional. Alongside your GmbH, BV, or SAS.

You opt in. Existing entities are unaffected unless you choose to convert.

EU Inc.: confirmed vs. negotiated.

Some clauses are settled, others are still being argued in the Council and Parliament.

Confirmed in COM/2026/321

Published 18 March 2026

  • Optional pan-European company form, set up by regulation.
  • Under 48 hours to register, under €100 in fees, no minimum capital.
  • Digital end-to-end: formation, governance, winding-up.
  • Share classes with different votes and dividends.
  • EU-ESO stock options, tax deferred until shares are sold.

Still being negotiated

Council and Parliament, 2026

  • Registration through national registers (BRIS) or a new central EU register.
  • Whether a tax layer gets added (Parliament's FISC subcommittee opened the question in February 2026).
  • Whether specialised commercial courts are mandatory, not optional.
  • Adoption date and entry into force.
Live status

Where the proposal stands.

Updated when the file moves, not on a content calendar.

  2. Parliament adopts recommendations

    European Parliament adopts recommendations on the file (procedure 2025/2211(INI)), laying down what it wants to see in the Commission text.

  5. Target adoption

    Parliament and Council adoption is the political target for end-of-year. Not guaranteed. Trilogue can run long.

  6. Entry into force

    Entry into force follows adoption. President António Costa has indicated implementation extends into end of 2027.

Who EU Inc. is for.

Three situations where EU Inc. changes the math. If you're in one of them, this is going to change how you do business in the EU.

EU flag
EU founders

You're building a startup across two or three EU countries.

Berlin engineering, Lisbon design, Warsaw ops. Right now that's three legal regimes, three sets of contracts, and three advisors. EU Inc. collapses it to one entity recognised in all 27 markets. The cap table stops being held together by cross-border loan agreements at the next round.

Founders outside the EU
Non-EU founders

You're a US, UK, or other non-EU founder looking at Europe.

You've already weighed Estonia e-Residency, a Dutch BV, or running things from Delaware. EU Inc. is digital end-to-end, takes non-resident founders without a notary visit, and gives you 27 markets in one entity instead of one country at a time.

Your clients will start asking about EU Inc. We read every Council working-party minute and Parliament amendment so you can answer with the actual text in front of you, for free. Partner track opens when the formation service does.

Phase 2 · When it's law

EU Inc. formation, conversion, and management.

Once EU Inc. passes as law, we'll offer four services: register a new entity, convert your existing GmbH, BV, or Ltd, advise on whether the form fits your company, or take over administration once it's running. Waitlist members go first.

Register.

A new EU Inc. company, filed in under 48 hours. Digital end-to-end, no notary chase, share register and tax IDs handled in one flow.

Same target the regulation sets for itself.

Convert.

Your existing GmbH, BV, SAS, OÜ or Ltd transformed into an EU Inc. We handle the cross-border conversion procedure, share register update, and the tax registrations on the other side.

Available for any limited liability company already registered in an EU member state.

Consult.

Should you even switch? We review your cap table, footprint, and structure and give you a written answer. Sometimes the recommendation is to stay where you are. We say so.

Two-week turnaround when the service opens.

Manage.

Ongoing company secretary work. Annual filings, share register maintenance, EU-ESO administration, board changes, governance documents. The infrastructure that keeps a company healthy after incorporation.

Subscription, billed quarterly.

Pricing and exact scope publish when the regulation text is final. Anything we commit to on fees today would be a guess, and the competitors are already guessing.

Common questions.

Full Q&A on the FAQ page. Still missing something? Join the waitlist and we'll answer by email.

Is EU Inc. already available?

No. It's a Commission proposal published on 18 March 2026, currently being negotiated by the European Parliament and the Council of the EU. Target adoption is end of 2026, with application running into 2027.

What does this cost me today?

Nothing. There's nothing to pay until EU Inc. is law and you choose to use one of our services. The milestone emails are free, and they'll stay free.

Will EU Inc. replace my existing GmbH, BV or Ltd?

No. EU Inc. is optional and sits alongside national company forms. You opt in. Your existing entity is unaffected unless you choose to convert it, which is a separate procedure we'd handle for you.

Can non-EU founders use EU Inc.?

Yes. The proposal explicitly accepts non-resident founders and works digitally end-to-end. Whether it's the right move depends on your tax residency and where the company actually operates.

What happens if EU Inc. never becomes law?

You get one email telling you the file has stalled or been withdrawn, with the source link, and your address is removed from the list. We don't hold an email list for a product that doesn't exist.
