European company incorporation has been attractive to overseas and other non-EU residents for many years and for many reasons. Some business owners wish to escape an oppressive tax structure. Some seek access to geographically favorable trade routes that match the needs of their current business. And some seek a corporate entity that has already been ready-made, formed, and passed all regulations, so they can meet some stringent time deadline. Whatever your need, with the incredibly diverse corporate structures and incentives offered by the many countries of the European Union (EU), there exists the perfect situation for your business somewhere in the EU, and European company incorporation can deliver it.

The key is in matching your goals with the prospective rewards of the different EU countries. For instance, a seasoned European company incorporation specialist that employs local European attorneys and accountants will be able to tell you that all earnings and capital from an Estonian business owned by non-EU residents can be repatriated with no fees. And this tiny Baltic state offers an environment of regulatory freedom for foreign trade that is among the most liberal in the world. There are virtually no tariffs you incur. However, if you need to staff an office or business, Estonia is probably not the most ideal spot, as skilled labor is in low supply.

With an entirely different set of benefits and drawbacks, Ireland offers a world’s-best 0% corporate tax for the first three years of your European company incorporation, but also has one of the highest employment levels of all the EU countries. This means, like Estonia, you have a harder time staffing a physical office, but a virtual office would be ideal there.

And regardless which country you choose for your European company incorporation, if speed is a need for meeting bidding deadlines or other time constraints, a ready-made company in the right EU country means the absolute minimal turnaround time, and instant European business respectability and cache. These companies have been registered and shelved, and already show an aged history, perfect for virtual offices and absentee ownership.

There are 27 EU member states or countries, but not all of those have adopted aggressive, liberal attitudes toward attracting non-EU residents as business owners. Your European company incorporation specialist that works with EU local business pros respected in their fields can ensure you marry the correct EU business vehicle to your needs and goals, and deliver the fastest successful EU corporation possible.
