Investment Guidance & Protection

Foreign direct investment into the EU—and Belgium in particular—is increasingly shaped by regulatory scrutiny, sector‑specific controls, and national security considerations. BOEX guides investors through this landscape with precise legal analysis, strategic structuring, and hands‑on support throughout the screening process. We help international businesses enter and expand in the EU market while protecting their investment from regulatory, political, and compliance risk.

FDI Structuring & Regulatory Guidance

BOEX manages the full lifecycle of FDI screening procedures, from early risk analysis to preparing notifications, supporting filings, and coordinating interactions with screening authorities. Beyond securing approval, we help investors protect their position by addressing potential conditions, negotiating obligations, and implementing governance measures that safeguard operational control. After closing, we advise on investment protection tools, compliance safeguards, and mechanisms that mitigate regulatory, political, and national‑security risks throughout the life of the investment

Screening, Notifications & Investment Protection

We advise investors on the legal and regulatory requirements that apply to inbound investments in Belgium and across the EU. This includes assessing sector‑specific restrictions, identifying triggering events under national FDI screening laws, mapping notification obligations, and structuring transactions to avoid unnecessary regulatory obstacles. Our guidance is practical and transaction‑driven, ensuring foreign investors can move decisively while maintaining full compliance with EU and Belgian rules
