Business domiciliation is an increasingly popular solution for entrepreneurs, start-ups and freelancers. While in our previous articles we highlighted the advantages for entrepreneurs in Wallonia of choosing a domiciliation in Flanders due to the specific diploma requirements, today we'd like to explore other beneficial aspects of domiciliation. Indeed, there are many practical and economic reasons why entrepreneurs should opt for this service.
Here are five reasons why business domiciliation is a wise option for any entrepreneur, whether in Belgium or elsewhere:
1. You do not yet have physical premises.
One of the main reasons why entrepreneurs opt for company domiciliation is the lack of physical premises. When a business is in its start-up phase, it may not yet be possible to rent or buy an office. What's more, it can be difficult to foresee from the outset whether the business will require dedicated space.
In this context, corporate domiciliation provides the company with an official, credible and professional address, without the need to rent expensive space. This address can appear on all official documents, business cards and communication media, giving a serious, professional image from the very first days of business.
The advantage here is that the entrepreneur can concentrate on developing his business without having to worry about the cost of premises that may not be used immediately.
2. A need for a legal address for the creation of your business.
When starting a business, the law requires an official address for registration in the trade register. This address is mandatory for all administrative formalities, including registration with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (BCE) in Belgium.
For a start-up that is still in the experimental phase or operates primarily online, finding a physical location can be a waste of time and money, especially if the activity doesn't yet require workspace or storage. This is where business domiciliation comes in.
By domiciling your business in a business center, you are assured of having a valid address for all legal and administrative procedures. Additionally, such an address, located in a region like Flanders, can provide a certain level of credibility to the business, particularly in sectors where location plays an important role in the perception by clients and partners.
3. A freelancer doesn’t always need a physical office but can benefit from it occasionally.
Many professionals working as freelancers operate from home or while traveling, without needing a full-time physical office. Whether you are a consultant, designer, web developer, or something else, you can easily manage your business without requiring a permanent workspace.
However, even if your business does not require a daily office, there are times when meetings with clients or partners call for a more formal setting. At Easy Way, we offer the possibility of renting a meeting room when needed for professional meetings. Additionally, our options include access to an office for two hours per week, allowing you to benefit from a professional space occasionally without the costs associated with long-term rentals.
This flexibility is ideal for freelancers who want to combine a nomadic work style with the credibility of having a professional office available when needed.
4. Your clients are located in another region, but you need a meeting place.
Many entrepreneurs work with clients located in other regions or even internationally. In such cases, having a domiciliation address can be a strategic advantage. This address can also serve as a convenient meeting point for client appointments.
At Easy Way, in addition to providing you with a domiciliation address, we offer access to offices and meeting rooms. So, if you need to meet with your clients in a professional setting, you have a suitable place to hold your meetings without the need to rent a full-time office. This allows you to remain flexible while presenting a professional image to your partners and clients.
5. Delegate the administrative management of receiving correspondence.
Finally, one of the practical reasons many entrepreneurs choose domiciliation is the ability to delegate the management of their administrative correspondence. Receiving, sorting, and responding to mail can be a time-consuming task, especially for small businesses and freelancers who don't always have the time or resources to handle these aspects.
In a business center like Easy Way, this service is included in our domiciliation packages. We take care of receiving your registered letters and correspondence, which we then send to you by email. This electronic management simplifies the handling of mail while ensuring you don't miss any important documents, no matter where you are.
This service is particularly useful for entrepreneurs who are frequently on the move or for those who don't want to link their personal address to their business. By outsourcing this part of administrative management, you can focus on higher-value tasks that contribute to the growth of your business.
Conclusion
Business domiciliation is not just a legal solution to meet administrative requirements; it represents an opportunity for entrepreneurs to manage their activities more flexibly and efficiently. Whether you are in the startup phase, leading a growing startup, or working as a freelancer, domiciliation allows you to have a professional address without bearing the fixed costs of an office.
At Easy Way, we offer domiciliation solutions tailored to your needs, whether you are just starting out or looking to optimize the management of your business.
