Societas Unius Personae (SUP) (Directive)
cepPolicyBrief
In addition to the provisions of the Directive, the SUP will also be subject to the legislation of the Member State in which the SUP is registered. It is not apparent to third parties which country this is. This may lead to uncertainty on the part of potential business partners. The SUP cannot be based on the competence to attain freedom of establishment but only on the flexibility clause.
