Registering a company in Belgium as an LLC for trading and brokerage is the best solution in 2026. Belgium offers several corporate solutions with varying budgets, from a standard LLC to a BV. The final cost of the company is calculated individually based on the chosen type of company, government fees, licensing requirements, and bank account requirements.
Information for decision-making
For a practical decision on Belgium, we compare the company form, capital, owners and management, tax and reporting requirements, annual cost and account options. Before registration, we confirm which of these points apply to your business and document them in one consistent structure.
Annual support: calculated based on the address, accounting, reporting and required corporate actions.
Corporate account: document preparation and support for opening an account with a bank or European payment system / EMI are quoted separately, taking the client’s business profile into account.

Only items outside the stated basic price are charged separately: additional government or notarial costs, translation and apostille, customised corporate documents, licences, accounting, preparation of the bank application and other services required for your company. We show these costs as separate items before payment.
What determines the final cost
The final cost depends on the company form, number of owners and directors, document signing method, translation or legalisation, registered office, accounting, licences and whether a corporate account is required. Before registration starts, we confirm both the filing cost and the company’s first-year operating costs.

Standard service package cost
We review this point as part of the company registration and first-year operating plan in Belgium. The final structure is agreed with the owners, business activity, documents, annual obligations and account requirements in mind.
Documents required from individuals (company director and shareholder)
Passport, proof of address, tax number, information about the business activity and source of capital. We confirm the required format for copies, translations and apostille.
Corporate owner documents
Registry extract, constitutional documents, formation resolution, representative authority and ownership structure.
How the process works
- You describe the planned business. You provide the activity, owners, countries of counterparties, expected turnover and required currencies.
- We define the scope of services. We review the company form, documents, local registrations, accounting and the need for a corporate account.
- You receive a quotation. We show our fees, government and third-party costs, and annual support separately.
- We start the registration. Once the cost is agreed, we prepare the documents and organise the filing.
- We add the required services. If needed, we organise accounting, preparation of account-opening documents and other agreed actions.
Additional services after registration
Nominee director and shareholder
Nominee services are used as corporate administrative services within the law of the selected country. We agree the authority, resolutions and working procedure. You retain control through the corporate documents, bank authority and approved instructions.
Opening a corporate account
We can support opening an offshore account with a bank or EMI and select an institution according to currencies, turnover and countries of counterparties. Our specialists prepare the client business profile, contracts, payment forecast and corporate package. The solution can include online banking, corporate cards and a backup account.
Address, telephone and office services
A virtual office usually includes a registered or mailing address, correspondence handling, telephone number, message handling and a corporate website. Additional services can include a workstation, meeting room, document forwarding and administrative support.
How the final quotation is confirmed
For company registration in Belgium, we agree the legal form, owners, management, capital and activities, prepare the incorporation documents and coordinate the filing. The following tax, accounting and account-opening steps are then completed in the agreed order.
We prepare one consistent document set for registration, the bank and ongoing administration. It includes the required owner and director identification, proof of address, corporate information and any notarisation, apostille or translation needed for the project.
Additional services for Belgium
A ready-made company can be used when an existing incorporation date and faster start are important. We check the name, number, date, registered office, corporate status, filings and available records before transfer. A new company is registered under your chosen name and ownership structure.
Payment and filing procedure
We prepare one consistent document set for registration, the bank and ongoing administration. It includes the required owner and director identification, proof of address, corporate information and any notarisation, apostille or translation needed for the project.
Payment is divided into stages where required by the local procedure: preparation and name reservation, notarial or registry filing, issue of corporate documents, address and later services. Our consultant confirms completion of each stage and provides supporting documents. Bank account, accounting, VAT, payroll, office, and special permits are added as separate, clear items.
Registration and individual service prices are shown for the standard basic case. Before filing, we confirm the current quotation because government fees, notary, translation, courier delivery and local specialist costs depend on the ownership structure and selected form. You make the decision using the full amount and timetable, not a single promotional figure.
