Give your project the right legal structure.
Companies, associations, foundations and foreign establishments: from the preparation of the articles of association to the completion of the legal formalities.
Incorporating a company, association or foundation involves more than completing administrative formalities. It requires choosing a suitable legal form, defining the organisation’s operating rules and organising the powers of its managers.
The Corporate House assists founders throughout this process, from the preparation of the articles of association and incorporation documents to the completion of the legal formalities, by private deed or by notarial deed depending on the legal form chosen.
Companies
We assist with the incorporation of the various forms of company provided for by the Companies and Associations Code: private limited liability companies (SRL/BV), public limited companies (SA/NV), cooperative companies (SC/CV), general partnerships (SNC/VOF), limited partnerships (SComm/CommV) and simple partnerships, as well as European law structures such as European companies (SE), European cooperative societies (SCE) and European economic interest groupings (EEIG).
Our work covers the choice of legal form, the drafting of the articles of association and incorporation documents, the organisation of the powers of the shareholders and management bodies, and the completion of the legal formalities, together with a notary where their involvement is required.
We also assist with the creation of holding companies, management companies and asset-holding structures, taking account of their specific objectives and in coordination with the accounting and tax professionals involved.
Associations and foundations
We assist with the creation of non-profit associations (ASBL/VZW), international non-profit associations (AISBL/IVZW) and private or public-interest foundations.
We assist with drafting the articles of association, defining the organisation’s purpose and operation, composing its management and representation bodies, and completing the filing and publication formalities, together with a notary where the law so requires.
Foreign establishments
We assist foreign companies and groups wishing to establish a presence in Belgium, by incorporating a Belgian subsidiary or opening a branch.
Our assistance covers the choice of legal structure, the preparation of the necessary documents, the establishment formalities and the disclosure obligations, in coordination with the accounting and tax professionals involved.
After incorporation
The creation of a legal entity marks the start of its legal obligations. The Corporate House provides continuity through its registered office, corporate formalities and corporate decision follow-up services.
Our clients can thus entrust both the incorporation of their organisation and the legal formalities relating to its operation to a single firm.
