Costs of business registration and further maintenance of the company
When choosing a country for business registration, it is important to be aware in advance of the minimum required authorised capital for different types of companies, the average salary for hiring employees, the cost of office rent, the cost of banking services, etc.
No foreign jurisdiction on blacklists
Blacklists are maintained by international organisations as well as individual countries. For example, if a jurisdiction is included in the EU blacklist or is considered offshore, it complicates the country’s financial relations with the EU. In this case, European banks will be forced to conduct additional checks when dealing with companies registered in EU blacklisted countries.
Fast and convenient air connections to the country of residence
This factor is also very important. For example, you decide to open a company in Hong Kong, Singapore or Seychelles and the remoteness of these jurisdictions may create certain difficulties for the entrepreneur.

The number of companies set up in EU countries has increased markedly over the past few years.
It is directly related to the desire to work and do business in an economically stable and prestigious jurisdiction with access to the international market, with the opportunity to minimise taxes and obtain a long-term residence permit for the whole family through business immigration.
Registering a company in the EU in 2024 will be beneficial for both large companies and private entrepreneurs who want to optimise their business costs.
The agreement allows for the exchange of information between other EU countries and Cyprus, even if the information is not required for tax purposes of these countries. However, the country from which the information is requested is not obliged to provide the information if it is a violation of the law or public interest of that country. It is also not allowed to request information that is not publicly available in that country.
It should be noted that the Cypriot tax authorities in most cases do not have information on the beneficiaries of private companies or any other information material. For these reasons, Cypriot companies registered through nominees and information about the real owners is confidential.
In this regard, persons whose information is withheld must be properly accumulated in the files of the registration agents. Professional secrecy cannot be used as an excuse for not providing information about these persons.
However, the conditions under which professional secrecy may be lifted will depend on state law. Thus, disclosure will not be a simple automatic administrative procedure, but will require the intervention of local government officials.
Opening a company in Cyprus can be a powerful step to expand your business and explore new markets. Because of its unique advantages, Cyprus offers great opportunities for growth and success in international business. However, success depends on careful planning, an understanding of the local business culture and effective resource management.

Cost of starting and maintaining a company. If you are planning to start a micro-business with a small number of employees or run your business on your own, countries with high start-up and maintenance costs (Switzerland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein) are unlikely to be the best choice for you. In addition to the cost of starting a company, it is also important to consider the costs of maintaining it: the cost of accounting services, the obligation to undergo an audit, the need for local employees and the need for a physical office in the country of incorporation.
Company control. Before starting a business in Europe and choosing a country to open a company, it is worth paying attention to the corporate legislation of the country you have chosen – in some European countries (Switzerland, Bulgaria) a company with foreign ownership has an obligation to have a local director who is a resident of the country. For some types of business this may be an insignificant and easy to fulfil requirement (you have a partner, a resident of the country in which you fully trust), but for other types of business it can be a significant problem and it is better to try to solve it at the earliest stage, choosing a European country to open a business in which there is no such obligation.
Confidentiality of information about the company’s beneficiaries. If inaccessibility of data on company beneficiaries is critical for your business, Cyprus and Switzerland will be the preferred choice for opening a company in Europe. It should be borne in mind that in some European countries information on all company members is freely available (Estonia), while in others it can be ordered for a small fee from the Commercial Register or from a private company that has such information.
SIF – Specialised Investment Fund A specialised investment fund based in Luxembourg is in principle exempt from income tax. The subscription tax is 0.01% per annum. The basis for calculating the subscription tax is the total net asset value of the specialised fund. The company is liable to a one-off capital tax of €1,250 payable on incorporation. SICAR – company with risk capital investments (Authorised capital of at least EUR 1mn) Annual capital turnover tax of EUR 1,250. Corporate tax 29.63%. There are no restrictions under double tax treaties. Profit distributions are not subject to source tax. Income from securities is exempt from tax. Proceeds from the liquidation of a company are not taxed (for non-resident participants)
Luxembourg does not tax profits generated by offshore bank accounts. An offshore Luxembourg bank account is a guaranteed means of capital protection. All information in offshore bank accounts in Luxembourg is considered confidential and may not be disclosed without the express authorisation of the bank account holder.
Luxembourg offers unique business opportunities due to its stable economy, favourable tax system, strategic location, quality financial services and high standard of living. These factors make it an attractive location for international investors and entrepreneurs seeking to expand their operations or enter the European market.
However, business success in Luxembourg requires careful planning and understanding of the local environment. This includes choosing the best legal form for the company, strategic planning, complying with regulatory requirements and proactively engaging with local partners and regulators.
Overall, Luxembourg offers a favourable environment for business development, backed by a highly skilled workforce, an innovative economy and a stable legal system.
There is no single ideal jurisdiction in the world for starting a business that would suit everyone. But there are countries whose legislative and tax system is ideally suited to your particular case.
Very often we are approached by clients with the request “Quickly register a company in the EU and pay low taxes”. But during a consultation with a specialist it turns out that, for example, the client also wants to stay in the country of business for a longer period of time or permanently reside there with the possibility of obtaining EU citizenship, which means that it is necessary to additionally apply for a long-term residence permit abroad.
In view of this situation, we always recommend approaching the choice of a country for starting a business comprehensively, taking into account both corporate, tax and immigration laws together with the goals and objectives that the entrepreneur wants to achieve.
