Een DGA verkoopt zijn aandelen voor 5.000 euro. De koper neemt ook zijn rekening-courantschuld van 287.000 euro over, het geld dat hij van zijn eigen BV had geleend. Klaar, dacht hij. Schuld weg, bedrijf weg.

Zo simpel was het niet. De Belastingdienst telde die schuld op bij de verkoopprijs en stuurde een flinke aanslag. De rechter gaf hem deels gelijk, maar de les is hard. Wat er gebeurde en wat jij ervan kunt leren, lees je hier.

An investor wants to invest 500,000 euros for 30% of your shares. You’ll retain 70%, a comfortable majority. Sounds good. Until you read the shareholders’ agreement, and the room falls silent.

Because 70% of the shares is not the same as 70% of the controlling interest. The small print contains approval rights, veto rights and anti-dilution clauses that undermine your control. You can read here how to prevent your company from being run over your head.

If you have staff, you'll know about the transition allowance. If you dismiss someone who has been ill for a long time, you'll pay an allowance. Until now, you received compensation from the government afterwards. From 2027 onwards, this will no longer be the case.

The compensation will disappear entirely, even if you cease employment due to retirement or death. What this means for you as an employer, and what you can already take into account, can be read here.
