Doing Business in Germany and Europe
From India to Europe
Being the world’s third largest economy, Germany offers extensive business opportunities for foreign trade partners and investors. India in particular shares long-lasting trade and investment relations with Germany, supported by a firm basis of institutional ties between the two economies.
Similarly, business between India and other countries of the European Union (EU), especially with regard to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from the EU countries to India, is growing at fast pace. The European Union’s Internal Market, which hosts 450 million consumers, serves as a fruitful and increasingly uniform market for goods and services from India. In turn, European companies seek to participate in the continuous growth of the Indian economy and the liberalization of its markets.
Without experience and knowledge of the legal and taxation framework one cannot act as an entrepreneur in Germany or the European Union. We at Schomerus can help you explore business opportunities, find the right contacts and launch business operations in Europe. We are also the right people to provide assistance in consolidating and expanding your existing business in Germany or other EU Member States, or if you are having difficulties with your business in this region.
