Legal Support
Set up your company the right way.
Business formation and structuring is choosing and setting up the right legal form, ownership and governance for your company. Brenvard helps founders and growing businesses set up properly from the start and adjust the structure as they grow.
In short
Why company structure matters
The way a company is structured affects liability, tax, how you bring in investors and how easily you can grow or sell later. Choices made quickly at the start can be expensive to change.
We help you understand the options, choose what fits your plans and put the basic documents in place, involving a licensed lawyer where the law requires it.
For official guidance, see the EU’s guide to starting a business. At Brenvard, business formation is part of our wider Legal Support services.

Frequently asked questions
Questions we often get.
Which company type should we choose?
It depends on liability, tax, ownership and future plans. We explain the options that apply in your country and recommend what fits.
Do we need a shareholder agreement?
If there is more than one owner, a shareholder agreement is strongly recommended. It sets out what happens with decisions, exits and disagreements.
Can you register the company for us?
We help prepare and complete the registration. Where a licensed lawyer or accountant is required, we coordinate with them.
Should we use a holding company?
A holding structure can make sense for some owners, especially with investment or several activities. We help you assess whether it is worth it for you.
