Frequently Asked Questions
Is 100% foreign ownership possible in Europe?
In most EU member states, yes. Non-EU investors can generally hold 100% ownership of a European company. Some strategic sectors, such as defence, critical infrastructure and energy, may be subject to foreign direct investment (FDI) screening in certain countries, including Germany and France.
Can I receive a grant when entering the European market?
Yes, in many cases. Several EU countries and regions offer investment grants and subsidies for foreign direct investment, particularly in sectors like renewable energy, manufacturing and R&D. Our Grants & Funds Consultancy tracks these programmes and can identify which apply to your specific expansion plan.
Can I receive a loan to help set up in Europe?
Yes. European banks and development banks, such as Germany’s KfW, offer financing routes for qualifying projects, and various EU and national trade-finance schemes support cross-border trade.
Are there free zones in Europe?
The EU has fewer “free zones” in the GCC sense, but operates free ports and customs warehouses, such as Duisburg and Hamburg in Germany, plus special economic development zones in some member states.
How long does it take to set up a company in Europe?
Timelines vary by member state. Forming a GmbH in Germany, for example, typically takes a few weeks once notarisation and registration are complete.
How do I meet business partners in Europe?
You can meet potential business partners through Meena Circle, our AI-driven B2B matching platform; through the Meena Events App, which lists trade fairs and delegation trips; by joining a delegation visit; or through our distributor and business partner search service.
Can I repatriate profit from Europe?
Yes. EU member states generally permit full repatriation of capital and profits for foreign investors, in line with the EU single market’s principles on free movement of capital.
What sectors are interesting and booming in Europe?
Renewable energy and green technology, advanced manufacturing and Industry 4.0, logistics, healthtech, and digital and AI services, particularly in Germany, given Meena’s BVMW network.
Is it safe for foreigners to live in Europe?
Yes. EU member states are generally considered safe and highly developed, with strong rule of law and established international business communities.
Where do I find subject matter experts for Europe?
For sector-specific questions, you can reach a subject-matter expert through our Experts Pool, a vetted network of specialists across Europe and the wider region. Sessions are recorded, so you have the guidance in writing.
