The rules around starting a business have become simpler over the years and now place fewer demands on the founders. However, this means that greater responsibility is placed on the founders to ensure that they comply with laws and regulations regarding how the business is conducted and managed. 

​

The company form that is best suited for your business depends on a number of factors. Easy management, personal responsibility, the influence of co-owners and the number of owners can be some decisive factors. 

​

LIMITED COMPANY

​

Limited companies are the most common form of operation for established companies. The main principle is that the owners of a limited liability company do not have a personal responsibility for the company's debts, but the company is a so-called, legal person. The rules regarding the start-up and operation of a limited liability company are regulated by law. This type of operation is suitable for both sole proprietors and multiple owners. 

​

It is important to have a good insight into the subject of partners, personal responsibility and formalities such as decision-making procedures. Through our advice, we can help to ensure that your business is conducted in an appropriate manner so that you can focus on running and developing your business.

​

SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT (COMPANY AGREEMENT)

​

Through an agreement, the shareholders can ensure that their respective interests are safeguarded in a well-balanced way. Contracts are - next to the Articles of Association and the Companies Act - often the most important documents for regulating how a business will be conducted and how changes in the business can be brought about.

​

​

SHARES AND SHARE CAPITAL

 

Limited companies are regulated through the ownership of shares. The number of shares in a limited liability company may vary, sometimes the number of shares needs to be increased or decreased. Shares can also be transferred. In addition, there are special rules concerning the share capital and its relationship to the company's equity.
