Introduction

After an introductory e-mail or call we will send you a personalised quote, based on the information provided to us.

Shared secure form

After we have established your needs and you have agreed to the price quote, an invoice will be sent to you for the first installment of the final price. This is already included in the price sent to you earlier and is usually 50% of the total sum. Once we have confirmation of the payment you will be invited to your secure form where we will collect all your documents.

Collecting the Documents

We will guide you through everything you will need to collect for the company incorporation
The shareholder(s) need to determine whether or not they want to have a shareholder’s agreement.

The Notary

After all the required documents have been collected and uploaded to your secure form, the notary will check if all documents are in order. Once this is done, the drafting of the deed of incorporation can start. This will take 1 week. An appointment will be made for the signing of the deed of incorporation. This can be done both in person as well as remotely.

Signing of the Deed of Incorporation

Afterwards you will receive a few documents from the notary: the Deed of Incorporation, Articles of Association (English translation) and a Chamber of Commerce Extract.
