Document background
Articles of Association For Sole Proprietorship is a crucial legal document required when establishing a single-owner business (eenmanszaak) in the Netherlands. This document should be prepared when an individual plans to start operating as a sole trader under Dutch jurisdiction. It contains essential information about the business structure, ownership, operational framework, and compliance requirements in accordance with Dutch law. The document serves multiple purposes: it establishes the business's legal identity, provides a framework for operations, ensures compliance with Dutch regulatory requirements, and creates a clear record of business governance. It must be registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KVK) and typically requires notarial verification. The document is particularly important for securing business relationships, opening bank accounts, and demonstrating legal compliance to stakeholders.
