Description topics

Single-owner companies
Pronounced bankruptcies of natural persons who have their own
company (without separate capital) or owned such a company prior to
their bankruptcy. The natural person is responsible for all actions and
financial matters of the company.
It should be noted that it is possible for more than one person to be
employed within the company.
Since 1 January 2007, the CBS uses a new register of companies for
distinction of the legal form. This way, the distinction between
single-owner companies and natural persons can be made more accurately.
This has resulted in a shift as of January 2007 from single-owner
companies to natural persons, compared to previous years.
