Investment & Risk Advisory in Europe
Before you commit capital in Europe, we help you weigh the opportunity against real regulatory and structural risk, including whether your specific sector even clears FDI screening before you get to structuring the entity.
What This Covers
- Investment opportunity assessment across EU jurisdictions
- FDI screening risk review for strategic sectors, checked early, before you’re committed to a structure
- Structuring advice, GmbH vs. UG vs. branch office, based on liability, capital, and growth plans
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between setting up a GmbH, a UG, and a branch office in Germany?
A GmbH is the standard limited-liability entity with higher minimum capital; a UG is a lower-capital variant of the same structure; a branch office isn’t a separate legal entity at all. The right choice depends on your liability exposure, capital plans, and growth trajectory.
Does FDI screening apply to every foreign investment in Europe?
No, it applies specifically to strategic sectors (like defence or critical infrastructure) in certain EU member states. We check whether your specific investment falls into a screened category before structuring begins.
