Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the EU Inc regulation.
When can I register an EU Inc?
There is no fixed official registration date yet. The Commission is asking Parliament and the Council to reach agreement by the end of 2026, so 2027 is still the working assumption for rollout.
According to the European Commission proposal (COM(2026) 321)
How much does it cost to register?
The Commission is targeting incorporation for under 100 EUR, and its March 2026 proposal removes minimum share-capital requirements.

Can non-EU residents register an EU Inc?
The public proposal is aimed at companies using an EU-based company form, but residency and registered-office details can still move during the legislative process. Non-EU founders should treat this as a proposal-stage question, not a settled rule yet.

Does EU Inc replace my existing company?
No. EU Inc is an additional option alongside existing national company forms. You can convert an existing company or start fresh.
