A Dutch BV company (“besloten Vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid” in Dutch) is a limited liability private company. It is similar to the GmbH in Germany, the LLC in the USA and the Ltd in the UK.
The BV is a legal entity with an equity that consists of easily transferable shares. The shareholders are not held personally responsible for the overall company’s debts. The legislation does not require the possession of any particular assets in order to register a BV. The only necessary prerequisite is to have an official local address.

Frequently Asked Questions
On Incorporating Dutch Company
How long will the incorporation of a Dutch BV take?
The formation of a Dutch BV depends on several factors, such as the amount of BVs you would like to incorporate, the amount of directors, the nature of the company, whether you need certain visas or permits to start your business activities, and if you also want us to take care of some extra services. It is also very important that you deliver the necessary documentation to us in a timely fashion, as this will speed up the procedure. If some documents are incorrect or incomplete, you will need to send us extra documents, and this can take some time. In general, we aim to establish your company within 3 to 5 business days. In some cases, this will be slightly longer, in other cases, we might finish the procedure faster.
Do I need to speak the Dutch language?
No, our incorporation agents will make sure you can go through all procedures in the English language and also in Italian and/or Spanish as an extra service that we offer. Dutch officials will be able to communicate in English, and often in German and French as well. We will make sure all communication is translated into the Dutch before we issue all documentation and send it to all official parties involved. You can also get translations of all Dutch documents in your native language if you ever need them for other purposes.
Can I apply for residency in the Netherlands?
Yes, you can, but you will need a valid reason to do so and, in some cases, certain permits and/or a visa. The first step in applying for residency as a non-EU entrepreneur is to set up a company in the Netherlands. Afterward, an application may be sent to the Dutch immigration services. The procedure depends greatly on your country of origin and the reasons you wish to immigrate to the Netherlands. Our consultants will gladly introduce you to our immigration partners to assist with this procedure.
Do you assist in ongoing company management?
Yes, our company can assist with secretarial services, providing assistance for the ongoing activities of your newly set-up Dutch BV company. Other topics we can otherwise help you with are numerous, such as tax compliance, accounting and secretarial services. We also offer extra services, such as opening a Dutch bank account. Please feel free to ask us for assistance anytime. Our Dutch incorporation agents can help you start a business in the Netherlands.
