1. What is the deal?
2. Who puts in the money?
3. Will there be bank financing?
4. When do you want to close?
A first orientation, not legal or tax advice. The final structure depends on the target country, the lenders and the investors, which we review before set-up.
What a separate vehicle does for each deal
One deal, one company
Liabilities, financing and investors of each deal stay inside its own B.V.
Sell shares, not assets
You exit by selling the SPV, often faster and cheaper than selling the asset.
Exempt exit gains from 5%
A gain on selling the SPV's shares is exempt at a Dutch holding, with no holding period.
A counterparty lenders know
Banks and partners across Europe know the Dutch B.V. and its share classes.

A good fit if

You buy minority stakes or may sell within a year
The exemption starts at 5% with no holding period.
- ✓
Lenders or partners want a familiar vehicle
The B.V. is the standard deal company in Europe.
- ✓
You want to close fast
A B.V. can be ready in one to three weeks.
Probably not for you if
- ✕
You raise money from many outside investors
A Luxembourg SCSp or RAIF is what fund investors expect.
- ✕
Your investors sit in a low-tax country
Dutch payouts to them can carry 25.8% withholding.
- ✕
Nobody can manage the SPV in the Netherlands
Without local management the tax benefits fall away.
How fast can a Dutch SPV be ready?+
One to three weeks from a complete KYC file to KVK registration. The bank account runs in parallel, so start as soon as you sign the term sheet.
B.V., CV or Coöperatie?+
A B.V. holds the asset or the target. A CV or Coöperatie above it gathers co-investors. Since 2025 every Dutch CV is tax-transparent.
Is the gain on selling the SPV taxed?+
A Dutch holding selling a stake of 5% or more pays no tax on the gain, with no minimum holding period. Real estate gains are usually taxed where the property is.
Can the target's profits pay the acquisition interest?+
Often, through a fiscal unity between BidCo and a Dutch target, within the Dutch rules on acquisition debt and the interest cap. We check this with your lenders' advisers.
How much does it cost?+
The fee depends on the structure and on the director and office you need. We send a fixed quote after a short call.
