What LegalBelgique does for you

Setting up a company, amending its articles, signing a contract or answering a formal notice: legal matters shape the life of every business. Yet many entrepreneurs do not know where to start, nor whom to ask.

LegalBelgique answers both questions. First, the platform offers content that explains each formality. Then it connects you with vetted legal partners.

A platform built for Belgium

Belgian company law follows its own rules, set out in the Code of Companies and Associations. Content written for France therefore does not apply as it stands to a company in Brussels or Liège. The rules also vary with the legal form you choose: SRL, SC, SA or sole trader.

LegalBelgique serves entrepreneurs based in Belgium, in several languages, so that Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia all feel at home. In addition, an iOS app complements the website.

LegalBelgique FAQ

Does LegalBelgique replace a lawyer or a notary?

No. LegalBelgique helps you understand your formality and find the right professional. Deeds that require a notary, such as setting up an SRL, still go through one.

What steps does setting up an SRL in Belgium involve?

Setting up an SRL involves, among other things, a financial plan, a deed signed before a notary and the company's registration with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises. Depending on your activity, you then activate your VAT number.

Does the platform work in several languages?

Yes. The platform works in several languages, for entrepreneurs in every region of the country, from Brussels to Flanders and Wallonia.

Why bring in a legal professional?

A mistake in your articles, a contract or a procedure often costs more than the advice that would have prevented it. A professional checks that your documents comply with Belgian law and defends your interests if a dispute arises.

Is there a LegalBelgique app?

Yes, you can download an iPhone app from the App Store. That way, the content and your conversations stay within reach wherever you are.
