Company formation introduction for your Belgian bakery
Choosing the correct company form is the first step to trading confidently in Belgium’s food market.
We guide UK founders through entity selection, drafting and filings while coordinating local representation and nominee services where helpful. Our aim is to synchronise legal readiness with your fit‑out, equipment deliveries and first sales.
Selecting the right Belgian company structure for bakery operations
We assess liability, governance, minimum capital and director rules against your growth plan. We then advise the structure that supports wholesale accounts and retail tills without overcomplicating governance.
Registration timelines, filings and local representation
We produce a formation timeline covering notarisation, bank sequencing, UBO registration and VAT. This schedule aligns with lease milestones and staffing so payments can be accepted at soft launch.
Aligning permits with food production, bread and pastries compliance
We coordinate municipal registrations and food production licences. We liaise with councils and inspectors early to plan ventilation, waste, allergen labelling and cold‑chain controls.
- Documentation packs: shareholder agreements, director appointments and registered office arrangements.
- UBO handling and data minimisation for compliant transparency.
- Compliance calendar to track filings, renewals and inspections with named owners.
| Requirement | Typical Timing | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Notarised deed / entity formation | 1–3 weeks | Enables contracts, leases and VAT registration |
| Business bank account & payment onboarding | 1–4 weeks | Accept customer payments during test bakes |
| UBO & VAT filings | 2–6 weeks | Required for compliance and supplier terms |
| Municipal food licence & inspection | 2–8 weeks | Confirms kitchen layout for bread and pastries production |

Nominee services introduction and compliant governance
Our nominee services balance privacy with the regulatory clarity Belgian and EU rules demand.
Protecting privacy while meeting Belgian and EU requirements
We offer nominee roles that shield personal details from public registries while keeping beneficial ownership transparent to authorities. This helps people who prefer limited public exposure without risking non‑compliance.
We document the split between beneficial owners and nominee officers. Decision rights, reporting duties and oversight are contractually clear so products, financing and leases proceed with proper authorisation.
- Registered office and mail handling for prompt response to regulatory notices.
- KYC/AML workflows to support bank onboarding and payment providers.
- Secure data room and role‑based access for corporate records and auditors.
- Exit and transition clauses for clean ownership changes.
| Service | Benefit | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Nominee appointments | Privacy with compliance | 1–2 weeks |
| Governance routines | Clear decisions & records | Ongoing |
| Registered office | Reliable official contact | Immediate |
To align nominee setup with EU disclosure rules and your launch plan, contact LerriHost on 07538341308.
Banking or payment processing services introduction
We set up EU accounts, merchant gateways and POS integrations so cashflow matches your production calendar. Our approach ensures settlement timing, fraud controls and accounting feeds work with daily deliveries and repeat B2B orders.
Setting up EU business banking for daily deliveries and wholesale accounts
We sequence banking with formation so IBANs and business profiles are ready for pre-orders and trade accounts.

We add SCA readiness and chargeback handling to reduce risk while keeping queues moving at café counters.
Cashflow tooling for breads, pastries and seasonal favourites
We connect bank feeds to accounting, set cost tracking by category, and enable subscriptions or standing orders for repeat clients.
- Automated invoicing and credit control for cafés and restaurants.
- Settlement mapping to production cycles and staffing.

Financial services introduction tailored to bakeries
We tie forecasting, cost modelling and B2B pricing to the day‑to‑day of production and delivery. Our aim is a financial plan that keeps margins healthy while meeting partner expectations.
Forecasting demand for bread, pastries and café products
We build demand models that reflect weekdays, weekends, holidays and weather. These models convert footfall and order history into daily bake targets and order cut‑offs.
SKU P&Ls show which lines are margin drivers and which need recipe or price changes.
Wholesale pricing models for coffee shop partners
We design partner pricing that accounts for batch size, delivery cadence, shelf life and order reliability.
This keeps margins sustainable while offering competitive terms to regular accounts.
- Inventory controls for perishables to reduce waste.
- Dashboards for sales, COGS, labour and delivery costs.
- Stress tests for ingredient inflation, energy and staffing scenarios.
- Financing comparisons for equipment and fit‑out with tax implications.
| Service | Benefit | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Demand forecasting | Right‑sized bakes to match sell‑through | 1–2 weeks to model; ongoing updates |
| Wholesale pricing | Stable margins with partner loyalty | 2–7 days to set tiers and terms |
| SKU P&Ls & dashboards | Clear decisions on hero lines and favourites | Immediate after data integration |
| Financing & scenario modelling | Informed choices on capex and cashflow | 1–3 weeks for options and analysis |

Operational insights from the bakery world we serve
Smooth morning drops start with disciplined night shifts. We translate practices used by Layers in E14 and Debaere into clear playbooks for your Belgian operation.
Wholesale readiness: baked overnight, fresh morning delivery
We design an overnight production model that aligns batch sequencing, proofing and bake times with vehicle departure slots. This guarantees first-wave deliveries for wholesale clients and mirrors the cadence run by successful operators.
Serving cafés and restaurant venues with consistent supply
We set order cut-offs, confirmation protocols and delivery SLAs to protect capacity while allowing priority flexibility during peaks.
- Robust contingency routes and SLAs to handle traffic and equipment faults.
- Packaging and labelling standards that preserve product quality and list allergens clearly.
- Partner onboarding kits — menus, price lists, samples and ordering guides — to speed trials into contracts.
- Team coaching on service etiquette so people at every touchpoint represent your brand reliably.
| KPI | Target | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| On-time delivery rate | ≥95% | Maintains trust with cafés and restaurants |
| Product defect rate | Protects margins and repeat orders | |
| Client retention | Increase year‑on‑year | Supports predictable volume for breads and other lines |
