How Company Belgium supports Belgian domiciliation centers in their AML compliance: functional modules, implementation method, ongoing support, training, preparation for SPF Economie inspections.

March 21, 202610 min read

In brief

Company Belgium supports Belgian domiciliation centers across 6 modules covering the entire AML cycle: accelerated KYC onboarding, risk assessment, ongoing monitoring, CTIF reporting, 10-year retention and team training. The 4-phase method (diagnosis, configuration, training, optimization) enables a start within 4 to 6 weeks with 50 to 80 % time saved on repetitive tasks.

The problem to solve

A Belgian domiciliation center in 2026 must combine:

  • Daily management of dozens to hundreds of domiciliated companies
  • An often small team (2-10 people) without dedicated legal management

Doing all this manually is unsustainable. That is exactly what Company Belgium tools end-to-end.

The 6 support modules

Module 1 — Accelerated KYC onboarding

  • Automatic pre-fill from the BCE/KBO number
  • Integrated sanctions (EU, UN, OFAC) and PEP screening
  • Remote identification (eID, itsme®, video)
  • Electronic signature of the domiciliation contract

See also our KYC guide.

Module 2 — Structured risk assessment

  • Configurable matrix on the 4 dimensions
  • Automatic risk grade per file
  • Corresponding measures applied (standard / enhanced)

Module 3 — Ongoing monitoring

  • Automatic BCE watch (director change, purpose modification, accounts filing)
  • UBO alerts on register evolution
  • Client mail tracking with 15-day alert

Module 4 — CTIF reporting

  • goAML file generation from the KYC file
  • Log of reports + reasoned non-reports
  • Tipping-off respect (strict compartmentalization)

Module 5 — Retention and archiving

  • TSA-timestamped PDF/A
  • AES-256 at-rest encryption
  • Automatic 10-year retention
  • Export on authority request in a few clicks

Module 6 — Training and audit

  • Knowledge assessment + certificates

  • Estimated savings: 50 person-days/year
  • Cost: Pro subscription

Mixed fiduciary Antwerp (10 staff, 250 files)

  • Before: no automatic UBO cascade, occasional sanctions screening
  • With Company Belgium: 3-level UBO cascade, continuous screening
  • Bonus: preparation for AMLA-coordinated 2027 inspection
  • Cost: Enterprise subscription

Small practice Wavre (1 person, 30 files)

  • Before: everything on Excel, high sanction risk
  • With Company Belgium: complete framework in 4 weeks
  • Safety: compliant with Act 18/09/2017 + RD 22/04/2024
  • Cost: Starter subscription

Why Company Belgium rather than another tool

  • Belgian-specialized: native BCE/KBO and UBO APIs, not adapted generic product
  • Regulatory current: quarterly (anticipates AMLA, BORIS, EUDI Wallet)
  • EU hosting: GDPR-compliant
  • French/Dutch support by trained humans
  • Built for SPF Economie controls: formatted exports, ready files

See the BCE API comparison and the 2026 compliance checklist.

How to start

  • Free audit of your current framework (1-hour meeting + collection of existing documents)
  • Personalized action plan with critical gaps identified
  • Start in 4-6 weeks with support
  • First measurable results from the 2nd month
  • Bottom line

    Company Belgium supports Belgian domiciliation centers across 6 modules covering the entire AML cycle: KYC onboarding, risk assessment, monitoring, CTIF, retention, training and audit.

    The support is calibrated for structures of 1 to 50+ people, with a 4-phase method (diagnosis, configuration, training, optimization). Typical benefit: 50-80 % time saved on repetitive tasks, compliance demonstrable in 5 minutes during SPF Economie inspection, and integrated regulatory watch for 2026-2030 evolutions.

    Frequently asked questions

    What are the specific AML obligations of a domiciliation center in Belgium?

    A Belgian domiciliation center is a regulated entity under the Act of 18 September 2017 and the Royal Decree of 22 April 2024. It must identify and verify each domiciliated company (full KYC with 3-level UBO cascade), assess the risk of each relationship, monitor transactions, report suspicious operations to the CTIF, retain files for 10 years and periodically train its teams. SPF Economy inspections can occur at any time with sanctions up to 5 million euros.

    How quickly can a domiciliation center deploy a full AML framework with Company Belgium?

    The Company Belgium method covers 4 phases: diagnosis in week 1, configuration in weeks 2-3, training and launch in weeks 4-5, then ongoing optimisation. A center can therefore have an operational and compliant AML framework within 4 to 6 weeks. The first measurable results, particularly reducing file time from 4 hours to 25 minutes, are visible from the 2nd month.

    What does the Company Belgium ongoing monitoring module do for domiciliation centers?

    The ongoing monitoring module automatically watches BCE changes for each domiciliated company: director change, corporate purpose modification, accounts filing, dissolution. It sends UBO alerts as soon as a register evolution is detected, and tracks client mail with a 15-day alert. Configurable rules and scenarios detect atypical operations according to typologies defined by the AMLCO.

    How does Company Belgium prepare domiciliation centers for SPF Economy inspections?

    Company Belgium includes a so-called 5-minute mode that instantly generates a presentation file, a documented KYC sample and the decision log for an SPF Economy inspector. Exports are formatted to meet controller expectations. When an inspection is announced, the support includes direct assistance. The pre-structured annual audits reduce inspection preparation from 3 to 5 days down to half a day.
