Does anyone know the right translation for "aansprakelijk in uw privévermogen" bit? I know what it means but feel that "liable with your private assets" is not correct, unless anyone can confirm that it is? Many thanks for your input!

liable with your private assets
I think either of these would do:
“your private assets are liable for”
“liable with your private assets”
see e.g.:
▶ Unincorporated business structures (Rechtvormen zonder rechtspersoonlijkheid)
In these unincorporated legal forms, you (and your private assets) are liable for the debts of your business.
[...]
▶ Incorporated business structures (Rechtvormen met rechtspersoonlijkheid)
In these incorporated legal forms you and your private assets are, in most cases, protected from the debts of your business.

liable in terms of your personal assets
Because of vermogen i would emphasize the fact that it pertains to assets here.
