About GetPermit.eu
We help small businesses in Europe figure out which permits they need, and walk them through getting them.
Our story
We're Adam and Dan, two Swedish founders who've spent years building tools for small businesses in Europe. Invoicing, compliance, that kind of thing. Mostly in France, Germany, and Scandinavia.
We kept hearing the same thing from people starting businesses: figuring out which permits you actually need is a mess. The info is scattered across government websites, rules change between regions, and half of it isn't in your language.
So we built GetPermit.eu. One place to find out what permits you need, with steps that actually make sense. No legalese, no guesswork.
The founders
Adam
Product & technology. Turns regulatory complexity into simple software.
Dan
Strategy & operations. Connects business needs with the right permits.
Built in Stockholm, serving entrepreneurs across Europe.
Why this matters
Regulatory complexity is one of the biggest barriers to starting a business in Europe. Most small companies don't have lawyers or compliance teams. They just want to get going. But overlapping permits, fragmented rules, and language barriers keep getting in the way.
This isn't just our observation. It's a problem that EU leaders have identified as a top priority.
"55% of SMEs flag regulatory obstacles and administrative burden as their greatest challenge."
— Mario Draghi, The Future of European Competitiveness (September 2024)
The Draghi Report calls for cutting regulatory burden by 25% overall and 50% for small businesses. Simplification isn't optional anymore, it's essential for European competitiveness.
"Fragmentation of the Single Market, gold plating, and ring-fencing at the national and regional level end up increasing difficulties and multiplying obstacles to productive activity."
— Enrico Letta, Much More Than a Market (April 2024)
The Letta Report documents how entrepreneurs across 65 European cities face heavy bureaucratic burdens from overlapping regulations. It proposes a European Code of Business Law to create a simpler, unified framework.
EU Competitiveness Compass
In January 2025, the European Commission launched a five-year plan to cut red tape and make it easier to do business across borders. The target: 25% less admin burden overall, 35% less for SMEs, by 2029.
The direction is right, but policy takes years. Entrepreneurs need help now. That's what we're here for: take the regulatory mess as it is today, and make it something you can actually work with.
