Templates and checklists

What is available

The EU Inc founder readiness checklist is free and available now. It sets out what a founding team can decide and prepare against the published proposal, without depending on the final text: cap-table hygiene, option-plan design, the registered-office question, and when a conversion decision would actually arrive.

Get the readiness checklist on the founder hub.

There is no paid template pack on this site, and none is planned. Where a decision needs judgement about a specific company in a specific member state, a document cannot carry it, so this page routes you to a person instead.

Where to go by question

Find the closest match, then use the request form below. If two apply, say so in the message.

• Tax planning and structuring. Registered-office and residence questions, withholding, the option-taxation point.
• Setting up a new company. Whether to incorporate nationally now and revisit later.
• Converting an existing company. What a conversion would involve, and what it would not.
• Employee stock options. Plan design that survives whichever version of the employee share-ownership rules is adopted.
• Fundraising and governance. Share classes, investor documentation, board structure.
• Employment, payroll and team rollout. Hiring across more than one member state, and the co-determination question.
• Branches and cross-border expansion. Opening in a second country under the rules that exist today.
• Compliance, filing and corporate secretarial. Ongoing obligations once a structure is in place.

If what you actually need is the state of the negotiation, the progress tracker carries the dated timeline and the institutional position map, and the FAQ explains how the procedure works.
