Considering the absurd startup costs for a company are over ~3k€, and the closing costs are ~4k€, wouldn't it make sense for a contractor to buy a company from someone who is about to close one?
If I was facing a cost of 4k to close down a company, I'd probably be willing to pay someone to take it (minus the capital tied up in it, which would work out to a credit in the end, but a savings for both parties).
Is there any other way for Belgian contractors to get the 7k€ costs down to something reasonable, like perhaps opening the company offshore somewhere?
