Because the requirement of a minimum capital of €18.000, - has been dropped the incorperation of a 'FLEX-BV' has become easier.

  • You have more freedom to setup the statutes. What is required to be in the statutes: the company name, location, purpose of the FLEX BV, the shared capital and the arrangements for the directors who suddenly retire (due to illness or suspension for example). Here you may not deviate from the regular BV statutes.

When the minimum capital of a GmbH (€ 25.000,-) has been reached, it is possible to convert the UG in a 'normal' GmbH, this conversion is not mandatory.
