The reference hub
EU Inc, explained — before the law lands
Neutral, founder-first guides. They compare EU Inc against the structures founders already know — Delaware, SAS, GmbH — and state plainly when incorporating is not the right move.
What is the 28th regime?
The five-minute primer: what EU Inc is, what it isn't, and the five non-negotiables that decide if it actually works.
ComparisonEU Inc vs Delaware C-Corp
The one founders actually ask: should I still flip to Delaware, or is EU Inc the European answer? Structure, cost, ESOP, exit.
ComparisonEU Inc vs French SAS
French founders: when EU Inc beats the SAS (and when your SAS is actually the better choice). Migration included.
ComparisonEU Inc vs German GmbH
German founders and the €12,500 minimum capital question: GmbH vs UG vs EU Inc, and what migration really costs.
Deep diveStock options under EU Inc
The ESOP non-negotiable: taxed-on-sale vs taxed-on-grant, the safe-harbour valuation, and what’s at stake in the negotiations.
Deep diveEU Inc tax — what changes, what doesn’t
The biggest misconception: EU Inc is not a tax haven. Tax follows real activity, not the registered office. Here’s what that means.
Deep diveThe central registry fight
Why the central registry was removed from the draft, why the coalition says "no registry = no EU Inc", and what it means for you.
Why read this before the text is final?
Search volume for "EU Inc" will explode the day the final text is published. By then, the founders who understood the decision early will act with confidence — and everyone else will scramble. These guides exist so you are in the first group.
The reference is deliberately neutral. It states the answer plainly, including "keep the current SAS" when that is the right answer. That is what makes it a reference founders can rely on.
