Business structure
When a business is being started up, it makes sense to think about the most suitable legal structure. Will you opt for a sole proprietorship, a general partnership (VOF), a business partnership (maatschap) or a private limited company (BV)? Each form has different snags. deWaardKramer has all the necessary knowledge on tap, and can help you to come to the right decision.
Snags
Each legal form can be assessed from a financial, tax and legal perspective. Sole proprietorship and general partnership offer little protection against liability. Against this, a private limited company involves additional start-up costs because of the reporting requirements. There are also tax differences between the various forms. But it would be unwise to make a standard calculation. Each situation is different. Much depends on the type of activity the business will be engaged in, the number of employees, the risks it will be exposed to, the projected turnover, and so on.
If you are starting a business, you should get expert advice before you decide on the legal structure. deWaardKramer can help you with this.
