Benefits of a holding company

A holding structure offers numerous advantages for the serious entrepreneur.

Tax advantages

Benefit from the participation exemption: profits from the operating company can be transferred tax-free to the holding.

Risk diversification

Separation of assets and business risks. Your accumulated wealth is protected in the holding if something goes wrong in the operating company.

Wealth building

Build wealth within your holding and invest from your holding in real estate, investments or new projects.

Flexibility

Easily start or sell new operating companies without affecting the entire business. Ideal for serial entrepreneurs.

Frequently asked questions about holdings

When is a holding worthwhile?
A holding is worthwhile if you earn profits above €80,000, want to build wealth outside your operating company, or if you want to house multiple business activities in separate BVs.
What is the participation exemption?
The participation exemption means that profits and dividends paid by the operating company to the holding are exempt from corporate tax. This allows you to 'park' profits tax-free in your holding.
Can I add a holding later?
Yes, but it is more complex and expensive than doing it at incorporation. It requires a share transfer and may trigger taxation. We recommend choosing the right structure upfront.
