Purpose before structure
Family capital and decision canvas
Move from purpose and perimeter to roles, distributions, exit and events before choosing a family fund, Dutch foundation or share-administration foundation.
Understand the situation first
Read the explanation before completing the checklist.
The related chapter follows the event and its consequences through a family example. Read it first, then return and enter confirmed facts only. A blank field is better than a guess.
Mark the questions on which the family can already state a decision. A no-fund outcome remains a complete option.

The legal form follows the family purpose, not the other way around.
First decide why capital remains pooled, who decides and how a participant may leave. Then compare forms.

Working version
Complete without personal details
Mark the questions on which the family can already state a decision. A no-fund outcome remains a complete option.
Local only: your selections exist only in this page's memory and disappear when it is refreshed.
Only that the question has been noticed or discussed. ‘No explicit gap identified from the answers’ does not mean that a document, authority or procedure has been confirmed.
Outcome after completion
A first Family Capital Decision Canvas and agenda for the first family council.
Format: questionnaire. Complete it on the page or print it. Answers remain in the page and are not sent automatically.
Next step
The checklist shows what is known and what is still missing for the next decision.
If the issue affects the family, authority, documents or a material asset, resolve the open facts first. Then move to the service that connects review, decision and implementation.
