If you run a small or medium-sized business, of whatever nature, there is a world of opportunity out there if you want to extend your activity beyond the borders of your own country. But having a strong entrepreneurial streak is not enough to ensure success - to start a business in Europe you will also need access to the right information.
Covering the 15 member states of the European Union, Setting Up a Business in Europe provides information on such key areas as taxation, company structure, legality, finance and grants. Each topic is discussed under consistent headings in a series of separate, country-by-country chapters to enable readers to refer to, compare and contrast, each country's different approach with swiftness and ease.
Business, financial and legal advisors, investors, and anyone with a business interest in Europe, will find all the straightforward facts they need in this informative text. The book answers such diverse questions as:
- •
What legal form should I use to do business in Italy?
- •
What is the social security status of employees I hire in the United Kingdom?
- •
What is the tax status of my business in Ireland?
- •
What incentives am I entitled to if I set up my business in Spain?
The book also features real-life accounts of entrepreneurs with experience in a variety of sectors - including IT, temporary employment, advertising, retail, art, medicine and sport - who have either started their own businesses or set up the foreign subsidiaries of existing'companies.
