The procedure to start up a business has been drastically reformed since 1 June 2006. It is now possible to start up a business in only 3 days. The notary can electronically exchange the data necessary to create a business through an electronic counter or ‘e-depot’. This means that the notary will electronically sign the authentic act. The file is then sent to the different databases of the registry, the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises and the Belgian Official Gazette. The notary receives the client’s company number in a matter of minutes. From now on, the starter only needs to take three steps in three days: 1. Bank: The starter deposits the minimum capital. This takes maximum 1 day. 2. Notary: The starter goes to the notary. The notary submits the authentic act electronically and receives the company number. This takes only 1 day. 3. Business one-stop shop: the starter can go immediately to one of the business one-stop-shops and activates the unique company number. This also takes maximum 1 day. The starter can go and do business. Belgium is now the fastest country in Europe to start up a new company.

Simply by changing a few words, adding punctuation and pauses for effect and using a different way to separate related topics, a writer is able to change how the reader feels about the write-up. So you think you’re too serious, businesslike and ‘heavy’? Here are ways you can make your copy upbeat and fun:

Don’t assume

When writing copy, avoid wrapping your content in a veil of secrecy and enigma. Being mysterious is fine for puzzle makers and fortune tellers but it doesn’t always work with writers. Use an unassuming tone in writing instead. Avoid being overbearing or condescending. Just write clearly and use a light, undemanding tone.
