Post-Formation Compliance

• Company Formation

Receiving the commercial register is where obligations begin, not where they end

After incorporation come obligations that determine whether the company can operate without disruption: tax registrations, social insurance files once staff are hired, sector licences, and periodic general assembly resolutions. As the company grows, amendments follow: changes of registered office, activity, management, capital or partners.

• What does it cover?

  • VAT registration where the conditions apply.
  • E-invoicing or e-receipts, depending on the activity.
  • Opening a social insurance file when employees are hired.
  • The sector licences needed to start operations.
  • General assembly meetings, approval of financial statements and management resolutions.
  • Commercial register amendments: registered office, activity, management, capital and partners.

• What our support covers

How we handle the file

  • A tailored list of your company’s post-formation obligations and their timing.
  • Drafting resolutions of the general assembly and the board or managers.

• Common pitfalls

What can delay the file?

Neglecting periodic general assembly resolutions until a bank or funder asks for them.

Changing the registered office or management in practice without recording the amendment.

Carrying on a new activity that is not within the company’s objects.

Filing tax returns late, which may lead to penalties and affect the company’s dealings.

• FAQ

Questions we often hear before incorporation

When do I register for VAT?

When the conditions set by law apply to your activity and turnover; we review this at incorporation.

Do you provide ongoing legal follow-up?

Yes, as an external legal function for companies that need continuous support without an in-house legal team.
