Aiming to be Belgium's Finest Company Registration Service
Coventis offers you expert advice
and a carefree formation of your company.
Which type of company is right for your business?
If you are interested in establishing a business presence in Flanders or Belgium as a whole, one of the first matters to consider is the type of business entity to form and how to structure your activities. Different legal forms are possible and the choice is not easy, but very important for the future of your company.
Most foreign companies starting business in Belgium choose between:
- Forming a limited (subsidiary) company (abbreviated as BV
in Belgium and previously called BVBA or SPRL)
- Establishing a Belgian branch office
- Opening an establishment unit or a representative office
- Applying for a VAT-identification under the regime of
direct registration (only for companies within the EU)
Establishing a company is no mean feat. You have to take many things into account: memorandum and articles of association, share capital, shareholders, shares, registration with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (CBE), nacebel activity codes, application for activation of the company number as VAT-number, affiliation with a social insurance fund for the self-employed, choosing an accountant, notary filings, filing with the Registry of the Company Court, publication of an extract in the annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette, etc.
Choose a company form that best fits your business concept.
Coventis does not offer 'standard solutions', but looks at the needs of your company. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of different types of company structures (BV, branch office, establishment unit, representative office, VAT-identification, etc.).
Coventis offers tailor-made support and helps you choose the right form of company for your business, taking into account your activities, objectives, risks and liability, protection of your private assets, formation costs, continuity of your company, management measures, etc.
We offer company formation services within the shortest time possible!
