This week, MSGL ventured into Belgium, a key step in strengthening our ties with local stakeholders and gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by Belgian expatriates and businesses. We had the honor of meeting the American Chamber of Commerce in Belgium (AmCham Belgium). AmCham Belgium plays a central role in fostering economic relations between Belgium and North America. This meeting provided us with valuable insights into the challenges faced by Belgian companies and expatriates, whether it be in international taxation, cross-border mobility, or wealth management. Our mission: to support our clients with diligence, proximity, and expertise, whether in Belgium, North America, or beyond.

Strategic Business Planning:  Evaluate your readiness to launch your business, select the most suitable structure (sole proprietorship, corporation, cooperative), conduct market research to understand demand and competition, and create a solid business plan that outlines your objectives, strategies, financial forecasts, and planned actions. Choosing and Registering the Business Name:  Select a relevant, unique, and representative name for your business. Ensure the name is not already in use, then proceed with registration to secure legal protection and avoid potential rights conflicts. Official Registration with the Government:  Register your business or incorporate it according to its structure. Obtain a Business Number (BN) required for various administrative processes, and, if necessary, set up a tax account to streamline tax management. Obtaining Necessary Permits and Licenses:  Identify the permits and licenses required by federal, provincial, and municipal governments to legally operate your business. This may include environmental permits, professional licenses, or sector-specific authorizations. Support Programs and Funding Options:  Explore available support programs at local and national levels, particularly those aimed at immigrant and Indigenous entrepreneurs. Look into grants, loans, and other financial assistance to secure funding for your business. Free Tax Help and Advice for Your Business:  Consult with a liaison officer for free tax advice.

On October 30, 2024, the Quebec government announced the temporary suspension of two major immigration programs: the Regular Skilled Worker Program (RSWP) and the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ) for graduates. This suspension, effective immediately, will last until June 9, 2025. This decision aims to curb a higher-than-expected increase in new arrivals next year. With this eight-month moratorium, the government intends to limit the number of permanent residents admitted to the province, allowing for a reassessment and adjustment of its immigration policies based on current economic and social needs. Authorities have emphasized the importance of this pause to ensure better integration of new arrivals and address challenges related to housing and public service capacity. This measure will also help strengthen the vitality of the French language throughout the province. Potential immigration candidates are encouraged to stay informed of upcoming developments and consult official sources for updated information on available options after the suspension is lifted.
