- The European Commission proposed an optional EU-wide corporate framework called “EU Inc.” on 18 March 2026.
- This Regulation creates a harmonised limited liability company form available in all Member States, simplifying cross-border operations.
- The framework targets startups and scale-ups but is open to all companies.
- Incorporation is digital-by-default, can be completed within 48 hours, costs less than €100, and requires no minimum share capital.
- The “once-only” principle allows companies to submit information once and automatically receive tax and VAT numbers.
