Your B.V. plan in one minute

Five questions. You get the documents to prepare, the week the notary signs and when the company can trade.

1. Who will own the B.V.?

2. Where are the owners' documents from?

3. What will the B.V. do?

4. Where do you want the bank account?

5. Add to the package

Typical timelines once you send a complete file, not a promise. Banks set their own pace. We confirm your plan on a short call.

Is it right for you?

A Dutch B.V. suits some businesses far better than others

A good fit if

  • ✓

    You trade or run a tech business across the EU

    The B.V. is the best-known private company in Europe.

  • ✓

    You want a holding for operating companies

    Dividends and gains are exempt from 5% ownership, with no holding period.

  • ✓

    You need a company quickly

    No minimum capital, and the deed can be signed within days.

Probably not for you if

  • ✕

    You are raising a fund from outside investors

    Luxembourg's fund vehicles fit better.

  • ✕

    Your parent company sits in a zero-tax country

    Dutch dividends to it can attract 25.8% conditional withholding.

  • ✕

    Your business runs entirely in another country

    A local company there usually costs less.

FAQ

Questions before you start

How much does it cost to set up a Dutch B.V.?+

The fee depends on the structure and on whether you need a director, an address and bookkeeping. We send a fixed quote after a short call, and it does not change once we start.

Is EUR 0.01 of capital really enough?+

Legally, yes. Banks and partners look at the balance sheet, so we help you set capital at a level that fits the business.

Do I need to travel to the Netherlands?+

No. You sign a power of attorney at home, and identity checks are done remotely. Some banks ask for a video call.

Do I need a Dutch director?+

The law does not require one. Tax residence and treaty benefits depend on where the company is managed, so for holdings we usually recommend one.

How long until I can use the bank account?+

Dutch banks often take several weeks for owners outside the Netherlands. A European payment institution is usually faster. We prepare the bank file while the notary works.
