One Dutch platform for all your deals, one SPV for each
A platform B.V. sits on top, each investment gets its own SPV below it, and new deals are added in weeks. Set your deals and investors below and see the structure, the AFM position and what you will file each year.

1. Whose money?
2. How many deals in the first years?
3. Where are the investments?
A first orientation, not legal, tax or regulatory advice. Whether a platform is an investment fund depends on how investors decide and share returns; we check the AFM position before anything is set up.
What a platform does that single SPVs cannot
One top layer
Investors, lenders and reporting deal with one platform company.
Every deal ring-fenced
A problem in one SPV stays in that SPV.
Sell deal by deal
Exit a single investment by selling its SPV, with the gain exempt at the platform.
Add deals fast
A new SPV B.V. under the platform in one to three weeks.
Outside money can turn your platform into a fund
If you raise money from outside investors and invest it under a common strategy that you decide, the platform is usually an alternative investment fund. The manager then needs an AFM licence, or a light AFM registration below the AIFMD thresholds when only professional investors take part.
Co-investors who each approve every deal are usually not a fund. We map your investor terms before launch, when changing them is still cheap. We coordinate licensed managers; we are not one.

What is the difference between an SPV and a platform?+
An SPV holds one deal. A platform is a holding B.V. that owns many SPVs, so investors, lenders and reporting deal with one company while each deal stays ring-fenced.
Do we need an AFM licence?+
Only if the platform is an investment fund: outside money pooled under a strategy you decide. Below the AIFMD thresholds and with professional investors only, a light registration can be enough. Co-investors who approve each deal are usually not a fund.
How does the platform pay less tax?+
Dividends and gains from SPVs held at 5% or more are exempt at the platform. With a fiscal unity, the platform and its Dutch SPVs file one corporate tax return and can offset profits and losses.
How fast can we add a new deal?+
A new SPV B.V. is usually registered within one to three weeks of a complete file.
How much does it cost?+
We quote the platform and each new SPV at a fixed fee, after a short call.
