Belgium Business Startup Expert

I have been working in international business for 15 years, then 3 years in international institutions, and finally 2 years at the Brussels Chamber of Commerce. There, I helped people establish their business in Belgium.

Nevertheless, I found all administrative documents much too numerous and complicated. It could take up to 3 weeks to establish a company. So I decided to start my company (Kreanove) to facilitate entrepreneurship in Belgium.

In 2011, we exploded the Belgian record by creating a Limited Company (sprl) in 48 hours only. (Download our news articles on the left hand side of this page)

At the end of 2012, we had the chance of acquiring the biggest and oldest Belgian service company active in official publications. Our service is now much more than complete. We do create and modify companies at lightening speed.

We can establish your company in Belgium without you having to be here. We only need to meet when you have to sign the bank documents.

1. Good afternoon, Arnaud. I am Lithuanian studying and soon graduating from a Dutch university, and would like to open a business in Belgium I am interested in setting up enterprise individuelle/eenmanszaak in Belgium for my business idea related to Airbnb service. How long it might take to establish startup if I already have a bank account and Belgium address? Question from Marius Ki on 02/05/2019

   Arnaud says:

   Dear Sir,
   The bank account must be a Professional one.But if you do have already a private one, it will be very easy to open a business one by just asking it by mail to the bank. You could even do it online.
   Once this bank account will be created, we need 24 to 48 hours to establish your self-employed entreprise.

2. Hello Mr Trejbiez I am interested to form an non profit organization in Belgium for the purpose of Education and training i need to know what are the proper procedures to do so , Question from Sonnyb Batrouni on 06/04/2019

   Arnaud says:

   Dear Sir,
   Please note that Belgian law says that a non profit organization must be founded by at least 3 persons.
   In case there are 3 founders, 2 of them must be directors.
   If more than 3 founders, then the number of founders -1 is the maximum number of directors authorized by the law.
   In order to prepare the statutes, we need the following informatoins:
   - Name + address of the non profit organization to establish (if you have no address or do not need real offices, we can host it in our business center. Cost is 60 € / month ex VAT)
   - Copy of id + residence address of each founder
   - Who will be in the board
   - Exact goals of the organization (education and training is not detailed enough)
   Cost to establish it is 280 € + VAT, including the cost of publication (which is 162,10 €).
   Best regards

   Arnaud says:

   Dear Sir,
   We can for sur estblish the company and guide you to try to obtain a residence permit, but cannot guarantee that Belgian authorities will deliver it.
   Rules are very strict.
   As you may be aware, millions of people want , for different reasons, to establish in European Union.
   I do not even know your nationality. So, it is rather difficult to answer.
   Best regards

7. Arnaud, Hope all is well I am from India, and I wish to set up a food business in Belgium. What kinda visa should we apply? and What is the minimum investment amount (EUR) needed to set up a company? Your assistance is appreciated Cheers Gautam Question from G O on 03/04/2018

   The minimum capital of a LLC company is 18.600 €.
   But you can liberate only 6.200 € if there are at least 2 founders or 12.400 € if there is only one founder.
   So, 6.200 € is the minimum investment to open a company.
   
   Regarding the visa you need, it depends if you waant to come often to Belgium, or ant to have your residence here.
   
   Please clarify.

Best Regards Question from Khaled Abdelnaby on 21/09/2017

   Arnaud says:

   Dear Sir,
   1. No problem have three or more partners in one Belgian Limited company.
   2. To open a limited company, the minimum capital is 18.600 €. But you can liberate only 6.200 € if there are at least 2 founders or 12.400 € if there is only one founder This amount must be sent to a bank account opened in the name of the future company in constitution.

If you want to use our business centre's address, cost is 60 € + VAT each month.
   3. We do not establish feasibility reports. Our duties are creating, modifying and hosting companies.
   4. As you can imagine, it is very difficult to obtain Belgian residence. Actually, the authorities are looking for investors creating richness in the country and hire people, since many people are looking for a job in Brussels. if your project meets these requirements, your chances to get a Professional card (and then a residence permit) will be higher.

16. Dear Arnaud, We are UK-based startup company (with mother company in Delaware). We are providing IT B2B solution for retailers worldwide. Currently we are choosing a location for our Tech and R&D office (most our Tech employees are from Russian Federation). Most of the contracts with clients will be signed with UK-based company and Tech office most likely would not be profitable entity. The head office will donate the Tech office with necessary costs (salaries, rent, admin, etc). We are looking for the best location in Europe for the Tech office based on the following criteria: - easy opportunity to obtain work permit for Russian citizens - good startup ecosystem (grants, special tax regime, networking, etc) - quality but not very expensive way of live of our Tech team members - easy way to register a company Do you think that we should consider Belgium? Can you please advise: - Are there any sufficient benefits for startups in Belgium? - Which orgaization form it would be better to choose? - Should we make a link between our mother company and tech company or it would be better to make separate companies? - Is it easy for Russian citizens to obtain work permit? Any material to read or any useful contact would be very appreciated Kind regards, Alexey Question from Alexey Menn on 23/03/2016

    Arnaud says:

    Dear Alexei,
    Belgium has some advantages fitting your needs (benefits for startups, Brussels is the capital of Europe, easy way to register a company, good and relatively unexpensive ay of life).
    But work permits are not very easy to obtain.
    Authorities want companies making profits and hiring local people. In summary creating richness.
    Yous should contact the Economic and Commercial Attaché, at Belgian embassy in London.
    His name is François De Vrije:
    Phone: +44 207 235 89 49
    Mail: london@brusselsinvestexport.com

19. Dear Arnaud, I currently live in Singapore and a registered Chartered Engineer. I would like to apply for my professional card and be a Belgium resident and eventually retire in Belgium as a citizen. What type of company can I open as a small start up business. I want to market / promote consumer electrical products . I'm not after anything complicated like Pte Ltd companies etc requiring large sums of money to be put in bank accounts. Is there a way I can just open an account together, rent the place to stay on and start the business? Without large sums of money being put into accounts, similar to self employed? Kindly advice the fee and other related costs Question from HL Chan on 06/11/2015

    Arnaud says:

    Dear Sir,
    To obtain a Professional card, and then a residence permit, you willneed to prove the economical interest for Belgium to welcome you.
    If you start with a small capital, and do not intend to make your business grow by creating local employment and pay taxes on your profit, there will be no interest for them to give you any residence card.

20. First of all,I really don't know if you or your company can help me;I hope you can read and maybe you can recomand to me a way. I have some questions, if you can:  1) does it matters if now I'm not resident in UK?I want to came in London with my family and to live there 2) Another site tell me it's important to have a company with 5 years on the market.What is important?This or to have a good captain on the ship,with 8 years experience in bar and gelato? Because it's 2 different things. What's important for you? Because,in my oppinian,I have experience and this is most important;I know how to build a long term company,I want to expand and to became a brand in 7-10 years. I want this,I know how,but I need strong partners: a good and flexibile bank,a good firm in consultation about document and finance. 3)Let me tell you,please,what I need.And after,please,tell me what you recomand to me or what you can do. Ok? What I need ‎: - a company which can consult me a little(where I can find a good space to open a gelato bar,with traffic intense; where I can rent a little space to open my llaboratory ‎where I will product ice cream with italian style-artisan gelato) -a loan or a leasing -about 150000 euro,to invest in laboratory about 50000 euro and in 2 bar gelato about 2x50000=100000 euro. The gelato is a very good bussines,with ‎ a good proffit. But you depend a little from the market or summer,from the season. So‎ for cash-flow (for a good cash flow all the year)it's good to have a bar gelato...or two... To build a brand in gelato‎ artisanale,it's important to have your space to promote your products;the big value of your selling depend about "how it looks","how it's serve",and "where you do all of this" I like this kind of bussines,with good cash-flow all the year;you have money every day,you can pay on time the rent and the rate for leasing company, for employers,the company which give you the drinks...And you own bar gelato do this for you. The product from laboratory will be sell to your own bar-gelato,and to another different company which have ‎point of selling,on the same market... I look on the map in England and I think London is a very good market. Dear Sir, of course,I think maybe is not possible to exist a bank or a firm which can give for a start-up a loan or a leasing for aboaut 150000 euro to invest,only with a bussines plan,with a good procent for year,for about 5 years.But I must ask about the conditions,I must comunicate what I need . About me: My name is Prodea Laurentiu,I'm from Romania,and I intend to came in London with my family(I have a wife and a little daughter-5 years) and to live there.I have 46 years,I study about bussines,I was the general manager at Buddha Bar Srl from Bacau/Romania (you can see at facebook, Buddha Bar Bacau)about 6 years(from 2007 to 2013). This company make about 1 million euro sales in 5 years and 6 mounth.They have a bar-gelato into the mall Arena Bacau(about 240 m2) and an artisanal laboratory for gelato and cakes.I was for a few times in Italy at Rimini Fierra,where I learn all about ice cream artisanal:what equipment,what ingredients,how to make,how to look,how to sell... I study at "mec 3 " and "Pregel",two very big company from Italy which produce ingredients for gelato artisanale.To manage a bar gelato and an laboratory -is no problem to me...And to manage in proffit an laboratory and 2 bar gelato,is a very simple problem for me. I want to open this(an laboratory and 2 bar-gelato) and after,to make the development of this business,to the next level;to sell ice-cream to another bar-gelato(near to the quantity about 500-800 kg/day work ,for every laboratory),to open another bar-gelato in the city near laboratory(about 20 points of selling-own points-for every laboratory),to open little points of selling ice cream (about 4X2,5 metres) in the park,in the mall area,in the academic studies or in points with the very good on traffic people .In a few years,I must have 4 laboratory in London,and about 50 bar gelato,and about 100 points of selling.... In my oppinian,my dream can be realise,with good partners and good   people(employers),with a good structure of manage. What I can offer?  For the partner which can finance this start,I can offer a very long partnership;I intend to have a very good cash-flow,so the money will be in and outside the count bank. In the future,after develop this,I intend to produce ice cream in industial way,and to sell my product in boxes in all Europe. About proffit In Romania,1 litre of milk cost 5 lei(1,1 euro) and 1 kg of sugar about  3,5 lei(about 0,8 euro). We put italian ingredients(from italian company-mec 3 or Pregel) and the final cost is about 3 euro/kg fruit gelato and 4 euro/kg milk gelato. The final price to sell to a final people is about 2,5 lei for 1 cup with 50 grams(about 20x 2,5 lei=50 lei/kg and this means about 11 euro/kg). We are in medium about 1,5 kg/people romanian consumer/year. A people from England consume about 6 kg/year. We can discuss about every question,so please just inform or ask me.

23. Hi there, I currently live in the UK. My partner for the business venture we would like to start in Belgium is a Belgium resident. What type of company can we open as a small start up business. We want to open a shop together basically and have found the premises. We are not after anything complicated like Ltd companies etc requiring large sums of money to be put in bank accounts. Is there a way we can just open an account together, rent the shop and start the business? Without large sums of money being put into accounts, similar to sole trader but for 2 people? Thank you Peter Question from Petar Munjas on 17/06/2015

    Arnaud says:

    Dear Sir,
    There are different company forms which are not requesting the founders to invest huge capital.
    All of them have an unlimited liability, except one, which is called "starter LLC".
    The starter LLC allows you to start with a capital of 1 €, and has a limited liability.
    I think it should be the best in your case

    Dear Sir,
    First of all,please apologize for delay in answering you.
    I did not see your message in my mails. Maybe considered as spam.
    You can work as independant (self employed), In this case, you should be aware that there is no protection in case are turning bad.
    You can also strat a limited company.
    To open a limited company, the minimum capital is 18.600 €.
    But you can liberate only:
    - 6.200 € if there is at least 2 founders
    - 12.400 € if there is only one founder
    This amount mut be sent to a bank account opened in the name of the future company in consitution.
    Once the bank receives the capital, they give an attestation for the notary.
    The account is blocked for approximately one week.
    To effect the subscription of the company to the register of commerce, Belgian authorities are claiming either a diploma (end of secondaryschool before 30/09/2000 or any university degree).
    If you do not have the right diploma, but have been managing a company in another country for more than 3 years, you can submit a CE attestation from any chamber of commerce, it be be also accepted.
    Our fees to establish the company (including notary fees + subscription to the register of commerce and VAT) are 2.000 € + 21 % VAT (the VAT will be reimbursed to the company).
    If you want to live in Belgium you must ask a professional card to the Belgian Consulate of your residence.
    It is not easy to obtain it.
    The authorities interests are very important.
    They want to know if there is any chance you will hire people looking for a job in Belgium, how much you intend to invest in the country.
    In case you need more information, I am at your disposal.
    Best regards
