The European Commission just presented EU Inc., an optional pan-European company status (the „28th regime“). The idea: register a company fully online, in under 48 hours, for less than €100, no minimum capital, no notary – and operate across all 27 member states without additional paperwork.
Key points: digital by default for the entire company lifecycle (registration, governance, even liquidation). EU-wide stock option plans, taxed only when sold. Simplified insolvency for startups so founders can fail and restart quickly. Free choice of member state for incorporation. National labour law and social protections still fully apply.
It’s a regulation (not a directive), so uniform across the EU. Commission wants it agreed by end of 2026.

On paper, this sounds amazing. I am optimistic; the Union sometimes strikes a crucial bullseye. Doubly optimistic following the demise of CC. 🙂

Anything that starts chipping away at the power of notaries has got my vote!

All the stuff that matters, such as labor law or tax law, is still national. Not sure how useful this is
