A shift in how companies are built in Europe
The European Commission has announced work on a new legal framework for companies operating across the EU. Often referred to as EU Inc or the 28th regime, it aims to reduce the need for multiple incorporations, fragmented rules, and country by country complexity when scaling across Europe.
If you are building or operating a company across Europe and want to stay informed, leave your email below. We will share updates on what is being announced and what it means for founders, operators, and finance leaders.
Stay in the loop
Pleo serves more than 45,000 customers across Europe. We work closely with thousands of leaders who experience this fragmentation daily. We will share our insights and learnings with the European Commission to help shape the strongest possible framework.
Europe has long been one market in theory, and fragmented in practice. The proposed EU Inc framework aims to close that gap by introducing a single legal structure which allows companies to operate across EU member states. Whether it delivers on that ambition remains to be seen.
We’re tracking the initiative as it moves from announcement to detail, including how the framework is expected to work, likely timelines, and what it could realistically change for founders and operators.

EU-Inc refers to a proposed EU-wide company legal form based on the so-called 28th corporate regime. It is not yet law but a policy initiative from the European Commission to create a standardized legal entity that can operate across all EU member states under one unified legal structure.
