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.
- Implementing amendments and recording them in the commercial register.
- Ongoing legal follow-up for companies that need an external legal function.
• 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.
