Start local.
Build worldwide.

Europe • country-specific setup

Discuss destinations such as Germany, France, the Netherlands, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, Estonia, Malta, Latvia, Lithuania and Luxembourg. UK and Switzerland enquiries are reviewed under their separate national systems.

• Select the country, legal form and permitted business activities.
• Review owners/directors, registered address, capital and incorporation documents.
• Check local operating permissions, tax/VAT, employment and ongoing filing requirements.
• Review founder nationality, residence and any local representation requirements.

There is no single trade licence that automatically authorises every activity across Europe. The available BUC assistance and any local professional involvement will be confirmed for your chosen country.

USA • state-based registration

Discuss formation in states such as Delaware, Wyoming, Florida, Texas, New York or California, based on where the business will actually operate.

• Compare an LLC or corporation against your ownership and operating needs.
• Review state filing, registered agent, business address and company documents.
• Check tax identification, state/local licences and industry permits.
• Review registration in additional states, reporting and ongoing obligations.

Forming a company in one state does not automatically authorise operations in every other state. Formation does not guarantee a bank account, visa or work authorisation.
