Registering other legal entities under private law

‘Other legal entities under private law’ include, for example, 'boermarken' (farmer’s collectives), 'fundaties' (a special kind of foundation), and 'gildes' (guilds). All other legal entities under private law that engage in commercial activities have to be registered. You can find more information on Form 28.
