Here is your first Forum » European companies

When choosing a jurisdiction for a business in Europe, you should understand that the European Union (EU) is not the same as Europe. There are some countries and exclusive jurisdictions that are geographically within Europe but are not part or all of the EU, for example Norway, Switzerland, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar and Liechtenstein. Some of these areas offer a low tax regime that can be useful for tax planning purposes. The governments of these European countries are very serious about attracting foreign investment and will continue to invest in this area and work to increase the amount of assets invested within their borders. Aside from their fast-growing financial services and entrepreneurship industries, some of these countries are perfect destinations to spend some free time during a vacation.

Our professional lawyers and accountants will provide you with detailed advice on each of these jurisdictions, their tax regimes and their company formation procedures. We can create a unique solution just for you to help you develop a long-term tax planning program and business structure that will help you achieve your personal goals.
