Tailored Marital Property Agreements for Entrepreneurial Couples in Zoetermeer
In Zoetermeer, with its thriving tech and startup ecosystem around Zoetermeer Innovation Plaza and nearby Leiden University, entrepreneurial couples often opt for marital property agreements with periodic settlement of capital growth (Article 1:141 DCC). This protects contributions to the BV against risks in sectors such as high-tech and life sciences, but divides profit growth 50/50. Cold exclusion excludes growth, perfect for high-risk startups in the Binckhorst or around the station.
Notarial execution is mandatory; standard terms cover DGA pension, goodwill, and local real estate financing via regional banks. Tax linkage: settlement clause activates box 3 on surplus, with attention to Zoetermeer subsidies for innovation. Upon divorce: valuation of growth via independent regional experts. Additional clauses regulate owner-occupied home-BV structures and loans upon divorce, taking into account Zoetermeer's favorable real estate market.
Practical example: hybrid model with threshold amount prevents small claims for growing BV's in the local manufacturing industry. Update agreements upon BV growth, children, or relocation to Zoetermeer residential areas. Benefits: dispute prevention, better bank financing via Rabobank Regio Den Haag, and attractive to investors. Disadvantage: discussion over 'growth calculation' in rapid value increases.
