We had exactly the same issue when we moved to a GmbH… RIPE took weeks to comprehend and we now have the sole trader followed by a workaround name with the GmbH. Communication was a mess….

Hello,

How is this going to work in reality? People who are merging companies or converting companies (for example I'm moving from sole trader to BV), I can no longer make this move happen in RIPE

I'm now forced to keep my resources under me as a natural person instead of moving my resources where it belongs: to the BV

Billing wise I'm no longer able to use the VAT on my invoice for input VAT (voorbelasting), and the LIR membership belongs to me as a natural person so moving the expense into the BV becomes rather hard to justify. Effectively increasing the cost of being LIR quite a bit.

I can understand that there's certain restrictions, but preventing things like company mergers, when you don't allow updating LIR accounts to a new entity seems like an odd thing to do, especially considering that the manual work largely is caused by your own policy.
