Pan-European Company Formation Made Simple

EU Inc. (also known as the '28th regime') is a new pan-European company structure announced by the European Commission. It allows entrepreneurs to register a single legal entity that operates seamlessly across all 27 EU member states, with unified rules for incorporation, governance, and investment.

The European Commission announced EU Inc. at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2026. The legislative proposal is expected in Q1 2026, with member state negotiations throughout 2026. The first EU Inc. registrations are expected to be available in Q1 2027.

Yes! EU Inc. is designed to be accessible to entrepreneurs worldwide. You don't need to be an EU citizen or resident to form an EU Inc. The entire process is digital and can be completed from anywhere in the world within 48 hours.

EU Inc. has a minimum share capital requirement of just €1, making it the most accessible company structure in Europe. This is significantly lower than traditional European company structures which often require €25,000 or more.

Unlike the Societas Europaea (SE) which targets large public companies, EU Inc. is specifically designed for startups and SMEs. It features digital-first registration, minimal capital requirements, standardized investment documentation (EU-FAST), and a harmonized stock option framework (EU-ESOP).
