Easier Market Entry for Non-EU Businesses

For companies outside the EU, gaining direct access to the European market can be challenging due to trade regulations, customs duties, and legal complexities. Setting up a corporate entity within an EU member state not only simplifies this process, but allows for possession of a versatile platform that enables many business functions to be performed with a more native and direct approach.

Access to 450 Million Consumers

The EU is one of the largest and most attractive consumer markets, with:

• €16.5 trillion in GDP (Eurostat, 2023)

• 16% of global imports and exports (European Commission, 2023)

  
  

Avoiding Trade Barriers

Without an EU corporate presence, non-EU businesses face higher tariffs and customs delays. For example:

• Turkish exports to Germany face up to 10% in import duties without an EU entity (WTO, 2023)

• A Turkish company with a Hungarian entity can sell directly within the EU without customs delays or extra fees

Conclusion

Establishing a corporate structure within the EU allows non-EU companies to expand faster, reduce costs, and operate smoothly in one of the world's largest economic zones.
