What is Formulier 2a?

A maatschap is a partnership in which each partner contributes work, capital or goods and the partners practise a profession together rather than run a trading business. Doctors, dentists, lawyers and farms commonly use it.

Form 2a registers the maatschap itself. The individual maten are registered on form 10a. A maatschap can also be registered online at kvk.nl/inschrijven, which is quicker where that route is open to you.

Who files Formulier 2a?

  • Professionals setting up a maatschap together
  • A maatschap taking over and continuing an existing business or branch
  • Partners who cannot use the online registration

Frequently asked questions

How is a maatschap different from a vof?

A maatschap is for practising a profession together and each maat is liable for equal shares. A vof runs a business and each partner is liable for the whole debt. The registration forms differ for the same reason.

Where do the partners go?

On form 10a. Two natural persons and two partnerships or legal entities fit on one copy; use a second copy if there are more.
