Start-Up

Your Business in Europe

To start a new company or expand your business in another EU country you need to know the rules that apply and the relevant national contact point to set up a company in that specific country.

The EU encourages:

  • setting up possible in no more than 3 working days
  • administrative costing no more than €100
  • completing all procedures through a single administrative body
  • completing all registration formalities online
  • registering a company in another EU country online through the national contact points

Where and how to open a Company: choose a Country and check the formalities


​The costs mentioned here are indicatively only the administrative ones. They do not include any costs of notary and accounting offices.

​Registration times and prices may vary from region to region of the same country. For this reason we cannot indicate prices and timing. Click into the Country of your choice.
