Acquiring licences, authorisations or permits with a view to starting and operating a business

To start a new company or expand your business in another EU country you need to know the rules that apply and the relevant national contact point to set up a company in that specific country.

Developing a business

To further develop your business you can consider merging with an existing company. Another option, if you are considering expanding cross-border, is to create a European Company, a type of public limited-liability company regulated under EU law.
