Frequently Asked Questions
On Incorporating Dutch Company

Is it mandatory to have a Dutch company address?

Yes, your company needs a registered address in the Netherlands. You also have the option to establish a branch office of an international business that is not a legal entity under Dutch law and is therefore not subject to all the obligations that apply to Dutch businesses. It will have no legal presence and is therefore not considered a separate business. If you don’t want to rent an entire office building, you can also opt for a virtual registration address. This will allow you to legally register your company in the Netherlands for a fraction of the cost of a personal office space.

What is the minimum required share capital to establish a Dutch BV?

Private limited liability companies no longer need to declare a minimum capital, so a €1 share capital is sufficient. This is due to the introduction of the ‘Flex-BV’ in 2012, which makes a Dutch BV much more accessible to a broader audience.

What is the procedure for starting a company in the Netherlands?

The procedure includes three main steps, with an added fourth step if you wish to open a Dutch bank account:

1. Drafting and submission of the deed of incorporation
2. Registration in the Dutch Chamber of Commerce
3. Tax registration
4. Bank account application

If you wish to obtain a permit or visa or would like us to take care of extra services, there will be more steps involved.

Which documents are necessary to establish a Dutch business?

You will need a valid form of identification and the preferred name of the company. Once we have received and approved the documents you sent us, the main documents will be drafted by a notary public: the deed of incorporation, which also includes the Articles and Memorandum of Association. With these documents, we can obtain a registration number for you at the Dutch Chamber of Commerce.

Is it possible to start a business in international trade through a company in Holland?

Yes, this is definitely possible, as many entrepreneurs have already proven before you. International traders set up companies in the Netherlands quite often. Local incorporation brings numerous advantages due to the strategic position of the country, its formidable infrastructure, and its relatively small size. The Netherlands connects your business with the rest of the world instantly, making it easy and efficient for you to trade internationally.
