Which company form suits your business? We advise start-ups in choosing the right legal form. We can also help convert the legal form (conversion from sole proprietorship to a bv) if necessary. Often, the choice of legal form is based on tax advantages. However, it is also wise to consider other aspects, such as private liability. We would be happy to advise you on the possibilities.
When choosing a particular legal form, such as sole proprietorship, general partnership (GP) or besloten vennootschap (BV), the entrepreneur weighs up the pros and cons of the various business forms. Aspects such as starting situation, costs, tax and legal consequences also play a role.
The biggest risk of companies with a natural form of enterprise is that the law holds the entrepreneur fully liable for all liability that rests on the company. This is also known as 'joint and several liability'. If something goes wrong on behalf of the company, the entrepreneur is 100% liable for the debt, eventually even including his private assets. So these are things you should pay close attention to when choosing a natural company form. The different natural company forms you can choose from are:
As a start-up company, you are eligible for tax breaks - subject to conditions. Ultimately, this results in less tax. Think of self-employed deduction, start-up deduction and SME profit exemption. We are happy to prepare income tax returns for entrepreneurs.
You can also opt for a legal entity form. The owners are separate from the company and, in principle, are not liable for its actions. It is also common for entrepreneurs to want to convert the one-man business (or general partnership) into a private limited company. We help draw up the right contribution documents for this. There are several private company forms to choose from:
Different tax rules apply within these forms of enterprise. One often starts with an one-man business (or general partnership) and if sufficient profit is made, it is fiscally interesting to convert the legal form into a bv (holding structure). Also, when more risks are taken (staff, financing or renting) it is common to opt for a bv because of liability risks.
We can advise on which legal form is most suitable for you. Together, we will map out the pros and cons of the various legal forms and determine what best suits your business. Make an appointment and find out what we can do for you.
