Practice and cooperation

Entrepreneurship, both within and outside the healthcare sector, is increasingly characterised by working in legal partnerships. There are various types of legal partnerships such as the general partnership (vof), the professional partnership (maatschap), the cooperative, the foundation, and the limited partnership.

As an entrepreneur or medical professional, you prefer to focus on the substantive aspects of your profession. Nevertheless, increasingly higher standards are set for entrepreneurship within partnerships.

The complex regulations and administrative burdens associated with these partnerships often lead to challenging decisions for entrepreneurs and medical professionals.

ScheerSanders Advocaten gives advice to entrepreneurs on issues related to these partnerships and on what is involved in operating a practice.
