Capital reports on the European Commission's 18 March 2026 EU Inc. proposal, explaining that new companies will be able to register across the EU within 48 hours for under 100 euros, with no minimum share capital and without trips to the notary. The piece frames EU Inc. as the long-awaited 28th regime that operates in parallel with the 27 national company laws.
Economic.bg explains the EU Inc. / 28th regime package presented by the Commission, citing IMF figures that single-market barriers act like a 110% tariff on services and noting that 60+ different national company-law forms fragment the market. The piece flags expert concern that the proposed scope may be too broad and should be narrowed to innovative startups, with final adoption targeted for end-2026.
Official Bulgarian-language press release from the European Commission Representation in Bulgaria announcing the EU Inc. proposal, an optional digital harmonised corporate framework available to all EU companies. It quotes Bulgarian Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva (Start-ups, Research and Innovation) saying EU Inc. will make doing business in the EU 'simpler, faster, cheaper'.
Investor.bg's write-up of the BESCO executive director's interview. Nutsov calls for a unified EU corporate framework so companies can register and operate across all 27 states under one set of rules in minutes, and argues this is the single biggest lever for European competitiveness against the US, alongside tax incentives for R&D and angel investing.
Bloomberg TV Bulgaria interviews Alexander Nutsov, executive director of BESCO (Bulgarian Startup Association), who argues the EU's 28th regime could be more transformative for European entrepreneurship than the euro. He links the reform to needed pension-fund 'multi-fund' changes and tax incentives for angel investors and R&D so Bulgarian high-growth firms stop migrating to the US for capital.
Investor.bg republishes IME economist Petar Ganev's analysis arguing the 28th regime is a chance for digital and innovative firms in peripheral markets like Bulgaria to scale 'at the size of the single market, not just nationally'. Ganev nonetheless cautions that overly narrow eligibility would blunt the regime's impact.
Bloomberg TV Bulgaria features Petar Ganev, senior researcher at the Institute for Market Economics (IME), explaining how the 28th regime would let companies register at EU level and bypass the 27 national systems. Ganev warns that Bulgaria is one of the member states most often obstructing the single market and cautions against narrowing the regime only to high-tech firms.
Bulgarian law firm Ivanova Legal Solutions publishes a practitioner explainer on the 28th regime during the Commission's public consultation (8 July - 30 September 2025). It compares the proposed digital-first EU company form to existing Bulgarian forms (OOD, AD, DPK) and flags open questions on what counts as an 'innovative company' and how tax and labour rules will apply.
