Do you want to start a new business or start in an existing business?

Start a new business

I want to start my own business.

Start in an existing business

Do you want to start a new business or start in an existing business?

Which business type is the right one for you?

Sole proprietorship

This is the most common company format for entrepreneurs. Launching a sole proprietorship is something you do as a natural person:

  • There’s no difference between you and the business: you are the enterprise
  • You are solely liable for any and all debt
  • There are few formalities and start-up costs

Company

You can also set up a company. This business type has a legal personality and is seen as a separate, legal entity with its own rights and obligations:

  • Companies offer better personal protection for the founders
  • Companies involve more procedures and costs
  • Companies are part of a more favourable tax regime

Which situation best describes you?​

I want to start from the very beginning

I have not taken any action yet and want to start my company 100% online with the help of Partena Professional Experts​.

My company has been established but is not yet registered in the CBE

I want to activate my company registration number at the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (CBE).
