As an entrepreneur you will sooner or later have to deal with company law. When you take the step to start up a company, this is a necessary evil for many entrepreneurs. The new Companies and Associations Code has created a useful working tool to allow the entrepreneur to organize his business in a creative way. To this end, a new company form has been developed, namely the private limited company (bv) to replace the private limited liability company (bvba), which will become the rule as a company form. The other company forms were either substantially modified or abolished.
