Free and faster publication of company deeds via the business register
Official title: Wetsvoorstel tot wijziging van het Wetboek van vennootschappen en verenigingen voor wat betreft de afschaffing van de dubbele publicatieplicht en de aanwijzing van de Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen als authentieke bron van tegenstelbaarheid.
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- Companies will no longer have to pay to publish their official deeds in the Belgian Official Gazette; the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises becomes the sole, free digital source.
- Entrepreneurs and associations creating a company or amending their articles of association will notice this directly in their administrative tasks and costs.
- If you start a business, you save up to nearly 280 euros in publication fees, and the paperwork becomes much faster and simpler.
