EU Inc is the EU's proposed optional company form, also called the 28th Regime. It aims to harmonise core company rules across all 27 member states. The Commission published its draft on 18 March 2026.
It is not law yet. National company forms are available today, with their own rules, costs and requirements.

Can I register an EU Inc today?
Not yet. EU Inc is still a legislative proposal. Registration is not open and there is no confirmed launch date. You can form a national company in an EU country today.
Read the registration guideWhat is EU Inc, exactly?
EU Inc is a proposed optional harmonised company form in the EU, also known as the 28th Regime. It would sit alongside existing national forms. The final rules are still under negotiation.
Understand the 28th RegimeCan I form a company if I live outside the EU?
Non-residents can own companies in several EU countries. The requirements depend on the country and company form. For the proposed EU Inc, ownership is separate from the requirement for at least one EU-resident director.

The official registration fee is one part of the budget. Accounting, address or contact-person services, banking and annual filings can add costs. Our service fee is an estimate until your free plan provides a quote.
Compare first-year and annual costsShould I wait for EU Inc?
If you need a company for contracts, hiring or investment now, assess an available national form against those needs. A future conversion to EU Inc would depend on the final law and your eligibility.
