Advantages of a European Company (SE)

1. EUROPEAN IMAGE

For foreign business partners a company with a generally known European corporate identity will certainly become a more trustworthy partner. The legal form with the suffix SE can thus add European goodwill to companies in many branches of business and the hallmark of greater recognition and solidness.

2. POSSIBILITY TO RELOCATE (THE REGISTERED) SEAT TO ANOTHER EU MEMBER STATE

The seat of a European company (SE) can be relocated to another country without dissolution of the company with liquidation, i.e. while maintaining the continuity of the legal entity. The company after relocation starts operating according to the legislation of the country in which it has its new seat. The European company (SE) may thus in course of its existence arbitrarily choose a country in the EU, where doing business will be a better bargain for it. The most common reasons for such action may be the following:

Utilisation of treaties on protection of investments to which the Czech Republic is a party
Relocation of the seat of the European company (SE) to another country makes the company stronger in negotiations with the Czech state. The European company may also take advantage of treaties on protection of investments to which the Czech Republic is a party.

Choice of the best bargain tax system within the framework of the EU
The European company (SE) may according to choice of seat, for instance, take advantage of low income tax in Cyprus (10%), or utilise a suitable holding conditions in the Netherlands. By relocation of its seat, the company may also solve the optimisation of the taxation of prepared transactions, e.g. sale of shares of the business or assignment of claims.

Identification of an ideal legal system
The legal systems of the older member states of the EU are substantially more stable than the Czech system. They bring greater assurance for entrepreneurs and higher enforceability of rights.

3. FLEXIBLE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE

The founders of the European company (SE) may choose between a dualistic and monistic model of management, i.e. the European company (SE) may have the board of directors headed by the general manager as a sole organ or have a system of corporate governance that applies in the Czech Republic, i.e. the board of directors and the supervisory board. The number of supervisory board members in doing so may be arbitrary.

4. ANONYMITY OF OWNERSHIP

The shareholders of a European company (SE) are not registered in the Companies Register – regardless of their number.
