DUBAI, United Arab Emirates,
Oct. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
Successful entrepreneurs are an ambitious bunch; whether it be
expansion, market share, profit, brand recognition, or otherwise,
they always crave more, and the good news is, that is exactly what
Europe offers – more of everything
including Citizenship by Investment.
The EU alone boasts the world's largest free
trade markets and its member states rank first on the
ease of doing business report in terms of trading across borders.
But it isn't just the EU, as the entirety of the continent proves
extremely enticing for those looking to cement their business on a
global stage while simultaneously granting their brand greater
credibility.
The Perfect Destination
If you are thinking
about setting up a shop in Europe you first need to
decide on the country your business will call home.
The perfect destination is not just the most recognized
name brand, but instead a country that provides you with
two things; a fertile business environment and a simple
way of getting to it through Citizenship by Investment.
Business Environment
Operating a business is no
easy task, and doing so in a hostile environment makes it
near impossible, which is why you should choose a nation that has a
strong economic landscape lush with financial and corporate
services that can bolster your company's pursuit of glory.

The ease of registering a business, finding good employees,
working under an acceptable tax regime
and regulations structure, and conducting business with
favourable operating costs all make a business environment more
hospitable, boosting the chances your business will not just
survive, but actually thrive.
Getting A Residency
With all the planning,
capital, and effort you put into a business you wouldn't want it to
fail over something as trivial as you not being able to get a
residency permit to actively run it, would you? Well, sadly, that
happens more often than not.
Getting a residency in many countries is a complex, draining
process that may require years of patience before actually
getting an approval. This conundrum is especially evident in
Canada, Australia, New
Zealand, and many others.

Pick?
Some nations, such as Germany,
boast general, unspecific requirements and leave it up to
immigration authorities to use their discretion in assessing a
file. And in most nations, if you want to get a residency card
based on your company, you have to actually register and
start up the company before applying.
So being able to plan ahead you need to choose a
country that is both easy to get to and easy to operate a business
in, and that is exactly what the following 4 nations provide.
The European Countries That Tick All The
Boxes
Sometimes the stars align and you are
presented with an opportunity that meets all of your needs. In the
case of opening a business in Europe, the alignment is so perfect that you
have not one, but four outstanding options.
Portugal
The
Atlantic bound country offers one of the best business environments
in the world, strategically located in the center of the
world's map allows for easy global communication, the regulatory
framework is both robust yet favorable, and it has an
outstanding workforce especially in STEM (science, technology,
engineering, and manufacturing).

Not only is the workforce extremely talented, but it is
cost-effective as well. On average, software engineers in
Portugal demand a salary 72%
lower than those in the UK. And communicating with the team is
also quite simple, as English is prevalent in the nation.
Portugal also ranks first
worldwide in the ease of trading across borders, while corporate
taxation is simple and paid at a flat rate of 21%. However,
residents of the nation can apply for the Non-Habitual Residency
scheme and gain amazing tax benefits for a decade at a time.
The European nation hosts one of the world's most popular
Residency by Investment Programs – the Portuguese Golden Visa
Program. By buying a qualified property for 280,000 euros you and the family can gain
residency in Portugal within a
matter of months.
Greece
The
birthplace of democracy, Greece
still boasts favourable laws and regulations that make living in
the nation as well as running a business in it an absolute
pleasure. An open market with low operating costs compared to
Europe's elite, Greece is another nation that you should
consider for your company's European HQ.

they are in London, make it a
great place to live. Registering a business in Greece is extremely simple, as it
ranks 11th worldwide in the ease of starting a business.
Its strategic location connecting Europe to the MENA is also great for
international trade.

is fairly simple, as it also has its version of the Golden
Visa. Foreigners who buy a property, or properties, amounting to
250,000 euros can get a residency
card in less than half a year.
Spain
Being
able to choose between Madrid,
Barcelona, and Seville as a new home for your business is
enticing enough for someone to consider Spain and its Golden Visa
Program for their new European HQ. Add to that the fact that
English is widely spoken in major cities thanks to tourism, and

doing so in London. Free trade

especially strong, as it ranks first worldwide alongside
Portugal in that regard.
The "land of castles" also has a simple immigration route,
another version of the golden visa in which investors only need to
buy immovable property for the among of 500,000 euros to gain a Spanish residency
card.
Turkey
While
not part of the EU, and while technically being a transcontinental
country connecting Europe to
Asia, Turkey remains a robust destination for global
entrepreneurs.
A country with endless economic potential, low overhead costs, a
high standard of living, and average consumer prices 248%
lower than the UK; Turkey is
one of the best places in the world to live and operate a
business.
