Overview

The decision to provide EU financing will be made by the local financial institutions such as banks, venture capitalists or angel investors. Thanks to the EU support the local financial institutions can provide additional financing to businesses.

Details

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.

As an EU citizen you are entitled to:

  • set up your own business (even as a sole trader) in any EU country, Iceland, Norway or Liechtenstein
  • set up a subsidiary branch of an existing EU-based business that is already registered in one EU country 

Funding and support

There are different EU funds available for startup businesses. To find out which one meets your needs, you can visit the Startup Europe Club and search for funding opportunities.

You can also use the Startup Europe Partnership platform to get help with expanding and developing your business.

If you're looking to increase the visibility of your business project, you can register your project on the European Investment Project Portal. The portal also enables you to get in contact with potential international investors.
