Questions founders ask.
Yours not here? Ask it on the call.
Do I have to charge VAT in every EU country I sell to?
Once your sales to consumers in other EU countries pass €10,000 a year, you charge the VAT of your customer's country. Through OSS you file that in one return at home. If your stock sits in another country, you may still need a local VAT registration there. We work out where.
My payment provider is holding my balance. What now?
Stop emailing support. A held balance is a legal file. We build it and run it. PayPal released €1.2 million after 14 weeks. Revolut released €5 million.
When does a holding structure beat a sole proprietorship?
It depends on your profit, what you plan to do with the money and whether you ever want to sell. At €480,000 profit, the switch saved one founder €210,000 a year. On the call we run it for your numbers.
I want to sell my store in a few years. Do I need to act now?
Yes. Selling your company from a holding is often taxed far lower than selling it privately. That holding has to be in place in time. Restructuring afterwards costs money, and sometimes the deal.
Can I move abroad and keep running my store?
Yes, as long as your home country accepts that you have left. Setting up a company in Dubai is the easy part. Proving your tax residence moved is the real work. We do it in twelve countries.
Can I switch accountants mid-year?
Yes. We request your file from your current accountant and handle a clean handover. No need to wait for a new financial year.
What does it cost, and who works on my file?
You hear the price on the call, upfront and fixed. You get one point of contact, backed by chartered accountants, tax advisers and lawyers who see each other's work.
