Enter European markets faster with Solidgate EU Incorporation. Here's what it covers and who it's built for.
Tier-1 banks have raised the bar on substance for European market entry. Virtual addresses alone no longer suffice – you need a real registered office, a local director, and a transparent ownership structure.
Sourcing all three independently would take months of coordinating with lawyers, banks, and office providers.
That's why we built Solidgate EU Incorporation.
What Solidgate EU Incorporation includes
One application covers everything you need to expand to Europe:
✔ Company incorporation in Cyprus and registered office support
✔ Introductory director services and company administration, with full ongoing substance remaining your responsibility
✔ Payment account and acquiring MID with Solidgate (subject to standard KYB/AML screening)
✔ Introduction to IPBOX advisory (eligibility subject to independent tax advice)
No separate negotiations with banks, administrators, or processors – we coordinate everything on our side.
How it works
You fill out one form with details about your business and founders – similar in scope to our standard merchant onboarding. We review the application within 2–3 business days.
Company incorporation is typically completed within 5 business days of signing.
Your payment account and acquiring MID are set up subject to standard KYB/AML screening. Ongoing administration is handled through our verified local providers, though maintaining full corporate substance remains your responsibility.
Your team can focus on building while the structure comes together around you.
Who it's built for
Solidgate EU Incorporation is for digital businesses – SaaS, ecommerce, subscription products – that are either entering the European market or restructuring an existing entity to meet Tier-1 bank requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Traditional European market entry means coordinating multiple vendors in parallel – incorporation, banking, office, administration – a process that typically stretches to months. Solidgate EU Incorporation brings this down to a single application. Company incorporation typically takes 5 business days once signed.
To expand to Europe, you need a registered EU legal entity, a real registered office in the country of incorporation, local director services for compliance, and a European payment account. All of these come bundled in Solidgate EU Incorporation – for details.
It depends on your business model, but for digital businesses Cyprus is a strong fit – an English-language legal system, EU membership, full EU passporting for payments, and IPBOX, a preferential tax regime with a 3% effective tax rate on qualifying income.
Yes. Every setup includes a real office with a signed lease, a professional director, and a transparent corporate structure – the substance pillars Tier-1 banks now verify during onboarding. See the full details on .
