Legal Entity

Establishing a legal entity in an EU country

A legal entity is a legally recognized organization or entity which is used to conduct business in the European Union. It is created by a law or legal process and is recognized as a separate entity from its owners or members.

Coordinating the setting-up process and establishment of the operational structure

Establishing a legal entity in an EU country can be a complex process which requires being on site in order to follow the progress, have direct access to service providers if necessary as well as understand the specific business environment. That’s why we coordinate in your interest the setting-up process with legal advisors and set up the operational structure in an EU country, in particular in France and in Germany.

An entity is created by a law or legal process and is recognized as being separate from its owners or members. A legal entity can be a corporation, limited liability company (LLC), partnership, sole proprietorship, non-profit organization, or any other type of entity that is recognized by the law. The legal entity has its own legal rights and obligations, and it is responsible for its own debts and liabilities.
