Your own EU entity — properly incorporated, fully administered
CD Europe sets up a properly incorporated EU entity in your name. You become the owner and director of your own company. We handle all administrative and compliance obligations. You keep doing what you do best.
The structure changes everything about where the money goes — without changing anything about how your client engages with you.
What Owning Your Entity Makes Possible
| Benefit | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Asset purchase & depreciation | Laptops, equipment, software — purchased through your company and deductible. |
| Business travel | Client visits, conferences — flights, hotels, transport. |
| Home office costs | Workspace, internet, utilities — deductible at entity level. |
| Professional development | SAP, AWS, Azure, PMP certifications — entity investment in its core asset. |
| Income timing control | Decide when and how much to extract — manage your own tax year. |
| Reserve building | Retain earnings in company at corporate tax rate — your own financial buffer. |
| Pension provisions | Entity-level contributions — pre-tax corporate expense. |
| Unemployment self-insurance | Retained reserves cover gaps between contracts — drawn when needed. |
