Labour cost
A skilled production or back-office role can be filled at a fraction of its total employment cost in the Netherlands or Germany, within a European legal framework and time zone.
You own the company. We handle operations on the ground.
Your operation in North Macedonia, properly set up and managed.
For established Dutch and German companies that need lower operating costs, available staff and a real local presence — without having to manage four local providers themselves.

The case for relocating work
Not a tax address. A functioning company.
North Macedonia makes sense when work, people and commercial responsibility genuinely move with the company.
Staff availability
Vacancies that remain open for months at home are filled here in technical trades, financial administration and multilingual support.
Industry fit
Automotive components, metalworking, textiles, food processing and shared services already operate at scale in the country’s industrial zones.
Tax differential
A 10% headline corporate tax rate, compared with 25.8% in the Netherlands and roughly 30% in Germany. The structure must be genuine to qualify.

Why this exists
One accountable partner, in the country.
“The paperwork was not the hard part. Knowing who would be there at the bank, follow up with the registry and give us the uncomfortable answer was.”
Euro Position coordinates company formation, banking, premises and the local professional network. Your local relationship manager remains your single point of contact after the company is launched.
