What is a sole proprietorship?
Een eenmanszaak is een van de rechtsvormen waaruit je kunt kiezen als ondernemer.
The sole proprietorship
When you have a business for your own account and risk, it is called a sole proprietorship. In that case, there is no distinction between business assets and private assets.
Een eenmanszaak betekent niet per definitie dat je geen personeel aan mag nemen. Het woord heeft betrekking op de rechtsvorm, niet op het aantal personen dat binnen het bedrijf werkzaam is.
Founding
For a sole proprietorship, notary intervention is not required, but recommended. The actual running of a business often involves more than you expect. Our specialists can help you decide whether the sole proprietorship is the most appropriate legal form. In addition, the notary will advise you whether or not to convert a community of property into a prenuptial agreement.
Financial responsibility
A sole proprietorship has assets and debts. The entrepreneur is liable for all debts with all of his assets. In the worst case scenario, creditors of the sole proprietorship can recover any damages directly from the private assets.
Spouse liability
Are you married in community of property? Then your spouse can also lose his/her share in the joint assets if the sole proprietorship is claimed by creditors. To avoid this, it is important to get advice from a notary and possibly have prenuptial or partnership agreements drawn up.
