Company Incorporation in the Netherlands

Setting up a Limited Company (BV) in the Netherlands is one of the easiest and fastest processes in the EU. The Netherlands has been a hot spot for businesses for centuries and still is today. This is mainly due to the central location of the country, and the favorable Holding options. You can easily set up a company in the Netherlands as a foreign individual or business. If you want to learn more about the difference between an individual shareholder(s) and a corporate shareholder(s), please ask us. In the Netherlands, there are no obligations regarding shareholders and/or directors. This means that you are free to decide how you wish to structure your Dutch BV. And to add to that, the shareholders and directors can have any nationality.

Setting up a BV in the Netherlands is done with the help of our notaries (via a legalization), who have been offering their services to international entrepreneurs for years.

Instead of a normal legalization process, we can also offer a video call incorporation, so you do not have to go to a local notary to legalize documents. This will speed up the process of incorporating your company even more.

There are two requirements for Dutch BV’s, 1) a share capital requirement of €0,01(!), and 2) a registered business address. We also help clients find their perfect (virtual) address. After the establishment of the Dutch BV, we also take care of the accountancy and tax compliance for most of our clients. So everything is arranged from start to end.
