The Societas Europaea (SE) allows the formation of public limited companies within the EU or EEA under unified legal principles. It offers advantages in cross-border mergers and company relocations within member states
Purchasing a shelf-SE is the fastest and safest way to acquire a European company without the effort of founding it yourself. Our SEs are registered in the Commercial Register and immediately available with bilingual incorporation documents. Both monistic and dualistic structures are possible, and we offer incorporations in key economic locations or at a preferred German site upon request.
Youco24's shelf-SEs are available in both monistic and dualistic structures. All our SEs are open and legally compliant shelf incorporations. The SE has no employees, and the employee participation procedure (co-determination) under Art. 12 (2) and (3) SE Regulation must be carried out by the buyer.
The share capital of our shelf-SE is 120,000 EUR and is fully deposited with a reputable bank. After acquiring the company, the full amount remains available in the Societas Europaea's bank account without deductions.
Youco24 operates nationwide and offers shelf-SEs in key locations such as Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich. If a different location better suits your needs, you can immediately establish a business location under trade and tax regulations—independent of the commercial register or company headquarters.
We are happy to assist you in relocating the registered office of your SE or establishing a company directly at your desired location. With our tailored solutions, we ensure that your corporate structure is perfectly aligned with your requirements.

For the formation of our shelf-SE, we open accounts at Hoerner Bank and deposit the legally required capital of 120,000 EUR there. The new board will receive an order check from us, which can be cashed at their bank. After the check is cashed, the corporation founding account will be automatically closed and will no longer be available for transactions.

Companies often choose the SE due to the flexibility in its governance structure, better cross-border mobility, and positive international image. Additionally, the SE allows for negotiable employee participation compared to the AG.
The SE allows for both a one-tier and a two-tier system. The one-tier structure combines the supervisory board and the management board into a single administrative body, while the two-tier structure separates the two bodies.
The SE allows companies to relocate their headquarters to other EU countries without having to change their legal structure. For example, a German SE can move to Paris and become a French SE.
Yes, co-determination in an SE can be negotiated and regulated through a co-determination agreement, offering greater flexibility compared to the strict German co-determination laws.
The SE has a strong international image and is often chosen to emphasize a company’s European or global orientation.
