Document background
The Corporate Management Agreement serves as the primary contractual framework for engaging corporate managers in Belgium, whether through individual appointments or management companies. This document is essential when companies wish to establish a clear self-employed management relationship, distinct from employment arrangements, and is particularly relevant for board members, managing directors, and executive committee members. The agreement must comply with Belgian corporate law, particularly the Companies and Associations Code, while addressing tax implications, social security considerations, and corporate governance requirements. It's commonly used in both domestic Belgian companies and Belgian subsidiaries of international groups, requiring careful consideration of local legal requirements and business practices.
