Digital-First International Expansion: Enter the European Market Without a Physical Office

Yes. Freedom to provide services allows marketing digital services in the EU without permanent establishment. However, you need to comply with European regulations such as GDPR, AI Act (if applicable), consumer law, and digital taxation. Our service covers all these requirements without you needing physical presence.

It is a person or entity established in the EU that acts as an official point of contact with European authorities on your behalf. You need one if you process European citizens' data (GDPR Art. 27), deploy AI systems in the EU (AI Act), or register intellectual property with EUIPO. We act as your representative in all these scenarios.

The Market Entry package starts at €5,000 for the first year. Establishing a subsidiary in Spain costs at least €3,000 for incorporation alone, plus annual accounting costs (€2,000-4,000/year), taxes, director fees, and management. The digital-first model can be 60-70% more economical in the first 2-3 years.

We recommend considering a subsidiary when: you invoice more than €500,000/year in the EU, you need to hire local employees, your clients require local invoicing, or you need physical presence for operations. The digital-first model is ideal for market validation and initial growth.

If you sell digital services to European consumers (B2C), you must charge the consumer's country VAT and settle it through the OSS (One-Stop Shop) system. For B2B sales, reverse charge generally applies. We advise on the most efficient tax structure and manage OSS registration if needed.

Yes. We act as your GDPR representative, handle data protection authority enquiries, oversee impact assessments, advise on international transfers, and help you respond to data subject rights requests. Everything managed remotely with periodic virtual meetings.

Having an established EU legal representative is precisely the solution. We manage authority notifications, regulatory requirements, and coordinate with specialised lawyers if disputes arise. Your legal representative acts as your juridical presence in Europe.

Yes. We work with companies from the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, the UK, Israel, India, and other markets. The digital-first model adapts to the particularities of each origin jurisdiction and applicable trade agreements.

We manage the entire EUIPO registration process remotely: prior art search, application filing, objection and opposition management, and registration maintenance. You never need to travel at any point in the process.

Yes. The AI Act requires non-EU AI system providers to designate an authorised representative established in the Union. We act as your authorised representative, manage compliance documentation, and serve as the point of contact with AI supervisory authorities.
