Business transfer

There will likely come a time when you need to transfer your business. Transferring a business is not something that can be arranged overnight. It often requires years of preparation. So it’s best to start early.

Associations and foundations

As a board member, you are committed to your association or foundation. It is therefore important to stay informed of current developments so you can respond appropriately to changes and take advantage of opportunities.

Divorce and your business

When you, as an entrepreneur, go through a divorce, this will in most cases affect your business—regardless of whether it is a sole proprietorship or a private limited company (BV). Owning a business makes the divorce process significantly more complex.

Doing business with your own private limited company

As a director and major shareholder, you are uniquely positioned to conduct business with your own private limited company. By following the rules, doing business with your own company can be highly beneficial.

Limited community of property

If you are an entrepreneur who married after 1 January 2018 without a prenuptial agreement, the limited community of property regime applies to you. However, it is advisable for an entrepreneur to establish a prenuptial agreement with his or her future spouse or registered partner.

Transfer of the family business

For family businesses, continuity is one of the key objectives. Fiscal and legal aspects also play a major role. In view of the changes to the Business Succession Scheme and the Income Tax Deferral Scheme, thorough preparation is essential.

Alternative financing options

For SMEs, obtaining a loan from a bank is not straightforward. Fortunately, a new financing market has emerged, offering a complementary option to the familiar bank financing. Additionally, the government can provide extra financial support. What alternative options are available?

VAT and international business

If your business supplies goods internationally or provides services to customers outside the Netherlands, you must understand the potential VAT obligations in other countries.

Stimulus programmes for innovation

Innovation is a key factor for the future because stagnation means regression. This is why the government actively encourages companies to innovate through various stimulus and financing programmes. Are you curious if innovation could benefit your business?
