The Sole Proprietorship Certificate of Incorporation is a fundamental document required for establishing a single-owner business in Belgium. This document is mandatory for all sole proprietors seeking to conduct business activities in Belgium and must be obtained through authorized business counters (guichets d'entreprises/ondernemingsloketten). The certificate serves multiple purposes: it provides proof of business registration, enables tax and social security registration, and establishes the legal framework for business operations. The document includes crucial information such as the proprietor's details, business activities (identified by NACE codes), registered address, and various regulatory declarations. It's particularly important as it's required for opening business bank accounts, entering into contracts, and dealing with Belgian authorities. The certificate must comply with both federal Belgian law and relevant regional regulations, depending on the business location within Belgium.
