Tailored Marital Property Agreements for Entrepreneurial Couples in Rijswijk
In Rijswijk, with its thriving cluster of startups around the Technopolis and near The Hague, entrepreneurial couples often opt for marital property agreements with periodic settlement of asset growth (Article 1:141 DCC). This protects contributions to the BV against risks in sectors such as tech and logistics, but divides profit growth 50/50. Cold exclusion completely excludes growth, perfect for high-risk Rijswijk startups in the Haaglanden region.
Notarial execution is mandatory with a Rijswijk notary; standard terms cover DGA pension, goodwill, and local real estate such as business premises on the Laan van 's-Gravenhage. Fiscal linkage: settlement clause activates box 3 tax on surplus, with regard to The Hague tax practice. Upon divorce: valuation of growth via an expert notary or accountant from Rijswijk. Additional clauses regulate owner-occupied home-BV structures and loans from regional banks.
Practical example from Rijswijk: hybrid model with a threshold amount of €50,000 prevents small claims in family businesses. Update agreements upon BV growth, children, or relocation within Haaglanden. Benefits: dispute prevention, better bank financing via Rabobank Rijswijk, and attractive to investors. Disadvantage: discussion on 'growth calculation' in valuation of local real estate. Compare with registered partnership for a flexible exit, ideal for young entrepreneurs in Rijswijk-Zuid.
