Plant a flag · 27 EU member states

A real EU presence, without the law-firm quote.

Virtual address, incorporated entity, nominee director, in-country bank account, and every annual filing — one engagement, 27 member states. The full stack founders need to land, register, operate, and stay good standing in Europe without hiring a local firm in every jurisdiction.

Which products do I need?

Tell us where you are — we'll scope your setup.

Most companies don't need every product on day one. A virtual address + company formation covers the founding moment; nominee director, bank account, and annual filings phase in as you operate. Tick what's true.

Tick what's true — we'll scope the setup.

Your answers determine the minimum viable EU footprint for your company. We'll only recommend what you actually need — and flag which pieces are live now and which you'll join the waitlist for.

    How they fit together

    From first filing to forever.

    Establishment isn't one moment — it's a sequence. Address first (for every form that asks for one). Then incorporation. Then the governance layer: director, bank, recurring filings. One project plan, one team.

    Year 1+

    Setup moves fast — address on Day 1, incorporation filed within a week, certificate usually in Day 5 to 15 depending on the jurisdiction. These two products are the founding moment.

    Governance is the steady state. A local director keeps the board compliant. An in-country bank account unlocks SEPA and real EUR invoicing. Annual filings keep you in good standing with Revenue, the CRO, and every supervisory body.

    One project plan runs it end-to-end. You get a named setup lead, a shared timeline, and one invoice — whether you take one product or all five.

    Start small, add on

    The founding two.

    Day-one footprint

    Address, then entity.

    Most founders start here: a prestige EU address you can put on every form that asks for one, plus a registered entity to sign contracts, hire, and receive EU funds. Everything else phases in as you operate.

    Common questions

    What founders ask us first.

    Do I need to incorporate in Europe to use Employer of Record?

    No — EOR is designed precisely so you don't need a local entity. Establish is for founders who've hit a milestone where an entity starts paying off: receiving EU grants, signing long-term enterprise contracts, launching a regulated product (payments, insurance, fintech, crypto), or raising from European investors who prefer a local topco.

    Which jurisdiction should I pick?

    It depends on what you'll actually do. Ireland for English-speaking admin, low CT, and global talent access. The Netherlands for logistics and a strong IP holding tradition. Luxembourg for fund and holding structures. Cyprus or Malta if you're capital-efficient and want warm weather. We'll recommend a short list on the discovery call.

    Can I set up the address without incorporating?

    Yes. A virtual address is useful long before (or without) a local entity — it goes on Stripe, Companies House, your privacy policy, your DSA notice endpoint, your DPA-facing address, and any EU marketing material.

    Why do I need a nominee director?

    Ireland, Luxembourg, Cyprus, and Malta all require at least one EEA-resident director. If you don't have a co-founder who'll move, you need a local nominee — not as a figurehead, but as an indemnified officer of record who carries the filing and fiduciary duties that the jurisdiction requires.

    How long does incorporation take?

    Ireland usually 5 business days. Netherlands 7–10. Luxembourg 10–15. We file electronically where possible and walk documents through where the registry still requires wet-ink.

    Can I move my existing EU setup to you?

    Yes. We've re-domiciled addresses and taken over annual-filings cycles from accountants and law firms. Usually a one-cycle handover, no continuity gap. Nominee director swaps take longer because they require a signed resolution of the board.
