Consulting for expansion and networking in Europe
D&P Handels GmbH supports international companies in their expansion into the dynamic markets of Europe, in particular the emerging region of Serbia and the Balkans. These markets offer ideal conditions for Western companies thanks to their business-friendly conditions, attractive tax incentives and strategic advantages.
Our comprehensive service covers all phases of your expansion, from market analysis and location selection to strategic networking with local experts such as tax advisors, lawyers and business consultants.
Advantages of expansion into Serbia and the Balkans
1. Attractive tax regulations
Serbia and many Balkan countries offer some of the lowest corporate tax rates in Europe. Serbia levies a corporate tax of only 15% (PwC) compared to 23% in Austria and up to almost 30% in Germany. These tax advantages can enable companies to make significant cost savings and facilitate market entry. Additional incentives for innovative sectors are available, particularly for companies wishing to invest in research and development.
2. Low labour costs and a skilled workforce
Average labour costs in Serbia are very low by European standards and amount to around EUR 1,000 per month, while labour costs in Austria and Germany are often five times higher. Serbia also offers a growing number of qualified specialists, particularly in the fields of IT, engineering and finance. With over 10,000 IT graduates every year, the region is particularly attractive for technology and service companies.
3. Fast-growing markets and rising demand
The economic performance of many Balkan countries has shown stable growth for years. Serbia recently recorded GDP growth of around 4% to 5% annually, with strong sectors such as construction, retail and IT. Rising purchasing power and a growing middle class offer long-term growth opportunities for companies that establish themselves in the region at an early stage.
4. Business-friendly framework conditions and reduced bureaucracy
Serbia has implemented numerous reforms to make it easier for international companies to enter the market. The company registration process has been simplified and often only takes a few days. In addition, state subsidies for investments and job creation attract foreign investors.
5. Strategic situation and free trade agreements
The geographical location of the Balkans offers companies strategic access to Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Western Europe. Serbia also benefits from free trade agreements with the EU, Russia and Turkey, making it an important logistical hub for international expansion.
