The Startup Articles of Incorporation is a mandatory legal document required when establishing a new company in Belgium. It must be prepared and executed in accordance with the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations (CAC/WVV), which underwent significant reform in 2019. This document is essential for any entrepreneur or group of founders looking to establish a formal business entity in Belgium, particularly in the form of a Private Limited Company (SRL/BV) or Public Limited Company (SA/NV). The Articles must be drafted in one of Belgium's official languages (Dutch, French, or German) depending on the company's location, and must be executed before a Belgian notary public. The document includes crucial information about the company's structure, governance, share capital, and operations, serving as the foundational document for the startup's legal existence and future operations.
