EU Branch Registration with House of Companies
 

European countries have structured procedures for EU branch registration, ensuring compliance and transparency. The process typically involves:
 

• Legal Documentation: Articles of Incorporation, financial statements, and director information.

• Local Registration: Filing with the Chamber of Commerce or equivalent.

• Tax Compliance: Registering with tax authorities and obtaining a VAT number.

• Licenses and Permits: Acquiring necessary sector-specific licenses.

• Employment Laws: Adhering to local labor laws and social security systems.

Each country has specific nuances:
 

• Netherlands: Simple and efficient registration with a focus on compliance.

• Germany: Emphasis on tax residency and local operational requirements.

• France: May require a local legal representative.

House of Companies simplifies the branch registration procedure in EU countries. Successfully completing the process establishes a legitimate presence, enabling business expansion and new market reach.
