With its business-friendly climate, stable economic and skilled, multilingual workforce, Luxembourg is an excellent location for companies targeting the European market. Businesses can benefit from the country's outstanding digital infrastructure and top performing logistics and supply chain management services.
ヨーロッパの中心に位置し、EUの2大市場である、フランスとドイツと国境を接するルクセンブルクは、欧州ビジネスにおける非常に戦略的な場所です。国際色豊かで多言語を話すこの国は、しばしば異なる文化やビジネスアプローチをつなぐ架け橋となり、ここからさまざまな欧州市場への参入がしやすくなります。経済は輸出志向が強く、国際的なビジネスに必要な言語スキルや異文化経験を持つスタッフも簡単に採用できます。
イノベーションに対しオープンで、多様な人口を抱え、欧州のテクノロジー集積地に近いルクセンブルクは、革新的な製品やサービスの実証実験地としても優れており、欧州市場向けジオロケーション対応や認証を希望する企業にとっては安全な環境といえます。
民間企業と公的研究機関の協力は積極的に奨励されており、研究機関も製品開発やテストにおいて企業との協力に前向きです。研究開発やイノベーションのプロジェクトには、EUおよびルクセンブルクの両方の補助金をご利用いただけます。
Whatever the size and nature of their business, it is crucial for entrepreneurs to choose a legal form that suits their activity (sole proprietorship or company).
Any third-country national (a person who is not an EEA national – i.e. from an EU Member State, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein – or a Swiss Confederation national) planning to stay in Luxembourg for a period exceeding three months (90 days) must apply for a residence permit before entering the territory.
Companies that establish a sustainable presence in Luxembourg can draw on several financing and support measures that help them expand their activities, develop innovative concepts and products and strengthen their competitiveness.
Companies in Luxembourg are subject to corporate tax and have to apply value added tax (VAT) to their products and services. Individuals are taxed based on their personal situation.
All companies need to fill in an operating declaration and a declaration of start of employment to the Joint Social Security Centre, which handles the data, registration of affiliations and collection of contributions for the different insurance funds.
Making entrepreneurship easy is a Luxembourg priority. The House of Entrepreneurship offers free information and personalised advice to aspiring entrepreneurs and managers of established businesses on topics such as the creation, sale or acquisition of a company, in particular in the area of right of establishment, and legal and tax matters.
Detailed information and required forms covering a large number of administrative matters can be found on Luxembourg’s business portal Guichet.lu.
